thats mainly for car chopping...i learned that first....then the sigs you just have to be creative and know what you are doing...

for the record...I did not do this sig!!

Its kind of hard to explain how to make a sig, like theres no real tutorial ...it varies with what you want to do, what design, what pics, what background, the writing..etc.
look at my thread, might like some of the sigs iv done.

yeah . . AlpWhite . . does some pretty good sigs . . .

Ok...I tried that link and it was very very helpful..but im still banging my head against my keyboard!! I tried changing backgrounds for the pic and followed the directions...but no luck!! The directions say to copy and paste the background..but it wont paste!! *uzi*

I am so ready to give up on it, but.....I AM NOT A QUITTER!! And wont let this damn thing beat me!! *shiner*

start off with the more easier stuff, changing backgrounds is certainly not easy and will not always come out great looking..
whats the problem you have/ you most likely are selecting the wrong layer (hence why it hasnt copied and pasted..)
make sure you have your layers box open and can see what you are selecting..(if u understand what i am saying. )

Yeah i understand that. But when i go to select a new layer..I can't put anything onto it. When I select the new layer is a blank screen supposed to come up with it? I even tried pasting it (the background) or even just a cut out pic onto the new layer with no luck!! Photoshop is KICKING MY BUTT!!! *shiner*

Do you have a file already open?
How are you making the new layer first?

I am making the first layer by opening up the file. Did not know if there was another way...and that is just how it happened..so i stuck with it.

open the file.

Go to your layer palette

If you want a new page...
File > new (pick ur options)
then you can only get a new layer there by pressing ctrl+shift+n
