The Signature Tutorial-
This is not really a tutorial as to how to make siggies. Better members than me have explained them and those are the reasons I am now here, preaching.🤡 It is more like after merging. Or what parts to keep in mind while you merge.
1. You are no (insert a fabulous sig maker who's the reason you are into PS). So looking at them and sulking at your own work will solve nothing. They have reached saintdom😆 after many many attempts. You will reach that phase too, but practice! What you can do (after drooling over the siggies, of course), is to notice the thing as a copy cat. Really, this is the first step to make a siggies, try to copy. The best part of siggie making is you can never 100% be exactly like your inspiration. Something will be different, and that difference would be your own unique style. And whenever you copy a specific style always, always credit the siggie maker.
Before the ranting started I was talking about really noticing the siggie. Look at the picture placement, number of pictures used, how they are merged. If you get the blending right 90% work is done, trust me.
2. Rules of merging-
a)Baal se baal mila.
It sounds hillarious.😆 But it's true. Blending against black is easiest thing, and hair is generally black (unless you merging red head or some other color wali characters.) See this.
Kitthe Surbhi, kitthe Lydia! Now see this.
A bit cropping, and some level adjustments later
Tantana.
You can see many many examples. The point is hair or not, same BG needs to be there.
b) Take same scenes wali pics.
See this
The reason blending was good (I guess?) is cause all pics came from same scenes. The funda is same scenes wale caps have same bg, and mixing them together with a nice text is relatively easier than pics which come from all over the places.
c) when it's all a mess.
This can't get worst than this.
Tony Stark spiderman Tanhaiyyan (Internet hot favorite bae😛) Lydia Snow white and prince canary and captain cold - it can't get any different than this. After blending them the best way you could do now you are left scratching head as to how to color them such as they look decent. Or should I erase more? Leave a few pics?
What I learnt from mixing different pics is this- after the basic brightness-contrast-sharpening ritual you gotta set them all a common color on which you can do adjustment. Think about a black and white siggies, so easy to do na cause you only have two colors? Think like that. For this siggie after brightness-leveling I did this.
Photo filter our secret weapon. Don't worry if it's too orangish or some other disgusting color. We will fix them. Use color balance and whatever other adjustments you want to. It will look wayyy better and you will feel better, too.
3) Text is our last sahara.
It's literally is. You not putting them for some feels or shit, naaaw! You putting them to cover up places which looked like gaping wound ever after you used everything you could.
Now upar wala siggie has a big gap right in mid of it, small enough that I can't put any pics or if I do it will look yuck thoo, big enough that it's ruining the look. Now you have only text left, so use that.
Better.
Tata.
