This tutorial will create a cool signiture effect.
Step 1: Open a backround image of your choice.
Step 2: Create a new layer, name it "Opacity Strip" make it transparent.
Step 3: On your new layer, using the rectangular marquee tool create a rectangluar strip near the bottom of your image.
Step 4: Edit fill, and however fill it with white. Change the
opacity of this layer to 50% by typing in 50 in the opacity meter in
the layer palette..
Step 5: Double click on the layer in the layers palette which will bring up the layer style menu.
Step 6: Go to Stroke using the default settings just change the color to black and size to 1px.
Step 7: Using the text tool create a text in the right or left
side of the opacity strip. If your not happy with the positioning
use the move tool to move it where you want it. To make small
adjustments select the move tool and press up, down, left, or right on
your keyboard.
Step 8 :Double click on the text layer, which will bring up the layer style menu.
Use the setting you wish on:
-Drop shadow
-Bevel and Emboos
-And if you want, stroke ( I did)
Remember you dont want to put to many effects on the text because the
text is so small. If your making it bigger then it mihgt be ok to
use more effects.
Step 9: Make a new layer called "Scan Bar 1" make it transparent.

Step 13: Move the scan bar on the layer "Scan Bar 2" to the left,.fill
it in with a different color using the paintbucket tool. (I chose blue).
Step 14: On the layer palette choose the blending option to color on both "Scan Bar" layers.
Step 15: Put a 1px black stroke on both of the scan bar layers.
Step 16: Press Ctrl+Shit+M which should bring this document into imageready.
Step 17: In the animation window, create a new frame, not duplicate
frame, new frame. The new frame should be the same as the first
frame even though you press new frame.
