We will be making this:

1. So start off with a blank canvas, I used 400x130.

2. Open your render in a new layer.. I used this one.
Move it and scale it to your liking.

Sup, I was wondering if you could tell me how to resize images?

Ohh and by the way I used one of your tutorials, look at my Sig

[frodo5280]

Nice outcome clown. and to resize images, goto image>scale image. very simple really. :D

[Turtlefuzz]

This is a really nice tutorial, I will probably dish it out. I have one question though, whats a C4d and where can I get a few?

[Thegreengecko]

go to google and search c4d, or go to planet-renders.net and search fractal.
A c4d is like an ART image, well, is anyone here able to explain, i can't :'(
