i don't have these paint daubs, as well as the outer glow thingy. but i think it turned out quite good.

Here's my take on Luci's tut....sort of different, though.

How to do something like that:
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...enJaredFin.jpg
Spoiler:The tut is very simple. But I show you one of my tricks to make backgrounds brighter without cutting the whole pic out.
Take THAT texture.
I changed the coloring.
Now it looks like THAT.
It's selective coloring. that's why I show you the texture instead of the coloring, so everyone can use it (hullo PSP user ).
But you can also use another coloring. Depends on what you like to have. ;D
Okay. Create a new document 500x200 (or whatever you prefer). Open your pic. Make sure there's a bright background.
Like promo pics with a white or grey background.
Or make sure there are some bright parts.
You can cut it out or you can use the smudge tool.
BASE
THAT'S the pic I used.
As you can see, there's that white square behind them and colorful parts left and right.
Now I used the smudge tool to drag that white background over the whole canvas.
You could also erase the parts and fill the base layer with the color of the white/grey part behind them.
But sometimes smudging is easier than erasing.
Tip of the day.
Spoiler:
Example:
THAT pic put on a base with 500x200 size.
Using the smudge tool to drag the bright part over the canvas (try to make it as bright as possible.)
Looks like that now.
My base looks like that now.
COLORING
Spoiler:
There's selective coloring. I'm sorry. It makes the dark and blue colors more colorful.
You can skip that step or try something else. I'm sorry.
Dublicate your base and set to screen.
If it's to bright play with the opacity.

Looks a bit too dark. So I dublicated the first screenlayer.
I duplicated it again and put it almost on top. Underneath the texture set to soflight 50%.

Different sizes, different colors. As usual. ;D
As final step I took THAT scratch texture, set to color dodge. I erased some parts over their faces.
Merge and sharpen or whatever you like.
I used my beloved paint daubs again.
Done.

okay, i'll post my results ASAP but I needs massive amounts of help.... I'm using the tut to make a siggy for my fic... my Supernatural/Atlantis crossover... so I have Dean and John on there... but I can't think of any text... any suggestions... song lyrics anything that would fit the both of them (or if you've read the little bit of my fic i have posted, any lines or anything?)

I've been wondering how to do this for ages, and I found the tut on the first page. It's a sig for our challenge of the week over on the S/J Art Thread:
