w000t gonna try now

Good tutorial,that was easy enough for me.You can see my creation,its my siggy now

Hey how did you get your font to be darker than your backround and how did you make your background curve like that...I'm new to photoshop so I gotta learn

I added drop shadow and inner shadow,and outer,and inner glow.I'm not so sure but try those.Im pretty new to photoshop too

Its pretty hard to explain how to make that kind of backgrounds cause it is different every time when you make one.

k thx dude

Nice Tut, thanks.

Nice and glossy, excellent effect with the gradient.
