Thank you - actually, I am pretty happy it is discreet for the time being, until I have time to rework my sigs gallery (the shineys were getting on my nerves somehow). But I am not 100% convinced myself - from here, I can still see "argo" when I read "navis", not the other way round though. The idea reminds me of those cards where two images are intricated and depending on how you look at it, you'll see one or the other image. A recipe, still (maybe others can use it to come up with something better in the same vein): 0) Dark background comes first, so taint the image you want to appear first using the clearer color. 1) On a distinct layer, taint one of the images using the bg color of the clear cells (something like 320808 I think). 2) Taint the other image using the bg color of dark cells (240000 for me). 3) Use a "1px checker pattern" to fill a third layer 4) Use the "checker pattern transparency" as a selection 5) Cut the checker pattern from your two images 6) Place the two images so that empty pixels in image 1 match colored pixels from image 2 By now, the result should look like this more or less : [img]http://www.beyondwonderland.com/images/sig_micro_tut.png[/img] 7) Play with the luminosity of the two images a bit, this is difficult to get right but what you want is the darker one to be "slightly darker than the default", and the clearer one to be "slightly clearer". Too much messes up the effect. 8) Save for web, matte to the good ol' 2B0404, upload, and enjoy.
