Here's my weak attempt to make a sig using GIMP.

I've never done any type of photoshop, and I have no clue what I'm doing.

Not sure how the lighting got so screwed up, but I'd like a few pointers.

Thanks for the links...

I'm still having a hard time, but I'm learning bit by bit.

Can't really figure out the transperancy thing, and my render gets screwed up in the process.

I do use multiple layers.

I think my problem is that I don't know how to make a render.

All I did, was I took a picture of my car, and then I opened it in paint. Then I zoomed in and colored the entire background in white.

Then I opened the image up in Gimp and I choose "Color to Alpha" and I select the white background as my Alpha.

I just figured that that was how I make a render...

If it's not, any pointers would help!!!
