Here's my outcome Burger King.
WHEW! Took me forever.
I'm not used to GIMP

[ЯзJзct.çom]

You can just download it.

[Pure Beats~]

Know any good sites to download it from? The sites I downloaded from the file always gets corrupted.

[ЯзJзct.çom]

Go to the rescorses thread.

[Pure Beats~]

Okay, here's mine. What do you think?

[ЯзJзct.çom]

Cool,but did you gradient map it with the incandesent graident?
Anyways,it's really good,but the size is a lil bleh.
Thanks for trying my tut =)

[Pure Beats~]

whoops, must've missed that step. What do you think the best size is for a sig?

[ЯзJзct.çom]

The size I use,and used for this tut is 450 by 150.
I have also heard 450 by 125 is good.
