DESCRIPTION: Make an easy and stylish Sig Tag with PI and different filters.

 

Remember to save often!

 

Open a New Image: Canvas color: 129/238/215 (color from the tube) and Size: 500x500 Pixels.
Open your tube (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the tube, activate the main picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it. 
Right click/Properties/Position &Size (3)/and go to Size.
Check that you have ticked the box Keep aspect ratio (red arrow) and change the Height to 300 (white hand). 
Click OK and close the original tube (1).

Right click the tube on the main picture/Align/Center Both (red arrow).
Merge All.

Go to Effect/Graphic Plus (red arrow)/Panel Stripes (white arrow) and use these settings (1): 
28/111/55.
Your screenshot might look different, since I'm using Filters Unlimited 2 - but the settings are the same anyway.
Click Apply.

Choose the Selection Tool (white  arrow)/Rectangle (red arrow) and draw a rectangle as you can see on the screenshot. I've fixed the size of my rectangle before I started to draw on the picture ... Fixed (white hand), 380x400 Pixels (1).
Right click/Convert to Object and drag the new object on your free working space. 
Use the Edit/Undo Before command on the main picture (the one we worked with the filter on), until you're back to the empty canvas in your chosen background color (129/238/215).

Activate the object (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the object, activate the main picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it. 
Right click/Align/Center Both, right click/Merge All (red arrow).

Change your background color (white hand) to 115/58/13, and go to Effect/Filter Attacks and find the filter (red arrow) with the name Border: Zerstäuber. 
Find some settings you like - this filter doesn't have the possibility to give exact settings, so you just have to try for yourself.

Change the background color to the same color you used for the first canvas ... 129/238/215 ... and go one more time to Effect/Filter Attacks. Find the filter (red arrow) with the name Border: Linien, - and as before ... find some settings you like ... this filter doesn't have the possibility to give exact settings, so you just have to try for yourself.

Add a name as you wish, Merge All, and your sig tag is finished!   
 

 

 

Here's the result in the original size :))

 


 

 

That's it! Also this one - fast done, but still a stylish Sig Tag ... made with PI and different filters.

HAVE FUN!!!
