Simple Smudge Sig Tutorial
Step 1: Create a new document 400 x 200 and fill it with black
Step 2: Paste and resize your render
Step 3: Duplicate your render so it fills up the canvas
Step 4: Duplicate one more render for use later
Step 5: Merge all the layers from step 3 together
Step 6: Press Cntrl + R and drag a grid line so it's in the center of your sig, it should snap into place
Step 7: Using the rectangular marquee tool fill up the left half of the sig it should snap at the grid point
Step 9: With the left half still selected pres cntrl + j/ Duplicate the layer
Step 10: Go to edit transform flip horizontal on the layer that was just made, the duplicated half, Drag it so it fills up the rest of the canvas
Step 11: Un hide the render from step 4 and duplicate it 3 times
Step 12: Set the 1st layer to color dodge and the layer 1 copy to linear dodger and the layer 1 copy 2 leave it normal and hide it
Step 13: Smudge the color dodge and linear doge layer in these directions/half of the side this way and the other half this way
Step 14: Un hide the top layer and set the blending mode to overlay
Step 15: With your smudge out, set the size of it to 8 and smudge around the edges of the top layer
Step 16; Duplicate the layer, Set the layers blending mode to multiply, duplicate the layer one more time and se the blending option to screen
Step 17: Go all out from here and add what you feels necessary, i added a photo filter and a gradient map since there were a bunch of colors coming from the smudge
The best outcome i've had so far
