This isn't for very very very beginners for Photoshop, if you are, then check out this website.

Quoted from guild forums, enjoy:

Open a pic




Release the lock on the pic by holding ALT and double clicking on the layer thats locked. This will allow it to actually delete things.



since theres a solid background simply use the magic wand tool.



keep using the magic wand tool and lasso tool to cut it out since this pic is simple :O



create a new file thing and put the size u want (for FF siggies its 500x350)



paste it into the new file



resize it by click CTRL+T and holding shift while dragging the corners to equally resize it.




select the brush and color you want



put it wherever you see it fits




erase in the appropriate places so it won't look cut off and move it wherever you want.

go to image, adjustments, curves while the mikuru layer is selected




select red and drag it just a bit up to make the red in her bunny suit pop.



add some text



go to layer style for the text layer, hit stroke, drag it down to 1 px.



add/move text to where you think is right.



add some borders using the line tool



keep doing that till ur done

delete the default white background




go to file, save as, click on the drop down box and select PNG.



when this pops up just hit ok x.x

And there ya have it, a nice simple mikuru siggy =D




I hope you learned something or got some ideas from this ^_^

Not the best tutorial... if you've never even opened Photoshop this isn't very good... this is more for people who know how some of the tools work but are still clueless.

Pretty good tutorial, covers some basic features and how-tos.

I found this link handy for the very very beginners of Photoshop, helped me get on my feet when I just started.
