DESCRIPTION: Make an easy and stylish Sig Tag with PI 8.

 

Remember to save often!

 

New Image: Canvas color: Black and Size: 440x440 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 the tube on our main picture/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 249 (white hand). 
Now we can change the position of the tube:
Left: 186 and Top: 87 (white arrows).
Click OK, close the original tube (1) and keep the tube on the main picture selected.

Right click the tube/Duplicate, right click/Properties/ Position & Size/Size: Keep aspect ratio (red arrow), and change the Height to 305 (white hand).
Go to Position, and use these settings:
Left: 34 and Top: 31 (white arrows).
Click OK and keep the big tube activated.

Choose the Pick Tool (white hand) and use the command Send to Back (red arrow). 

Keep the big tube activated.

Photo/Enhance/Monochrome (red arrow), and keep the big tube activated.

Choose the Transform Tool (red arrow) and use the command Flip Horizontally (white hand).

Keep the big tube activated.

Choose the Pick Tool (white hand) and change the Transparency to 40% (red arrow). The Transparency depends on the tube and the color of the background!

Choose the Text Tool, add your name, Merge All, and the taggie is finished :)
 

 

 

And that's how my finished taggie looks in the original size :))

 


 

 

That's it! An easy and stylish Sig Tag ... made with PI 8.

HAVE FUN!!!
