beginners TUTORIAL on Stock Images

[Zerosun]

This was a request from juggernaut. I always see people asking for renders, or trying to render themselves. Just use the stock =) its much easier.

Well, after following this tutorial and going a completely different way that what I was originally going to do, I can say that I am extremely happy with this outcome.

Nice tutorial. It is kind of similar to your tank tutorial, but you smudged the whole render there. Good tutorial, very helpful.

ok, im confused, what do i do after the part where you smudge? i only know that it says to put effects on a layer ON TOP but do what?

this isnt exacly a tutorial on how to make the sig itself. Its just a tut on how to start off a stock image. By on top i meant on layers ontop of the stock image. When using a render, you could put the effect under. You cant do that on a stock image for obvious reasons.
