Here are some tips that will hopefully make the end result of your sigs a little better.

1) The Highpass filter: Once you have finished or are nearing the end of your sig, make a new layer, apply image, then go to filters>other>highpass. Leave it on the default settings then set that layer to soft light or what ever you think looks good.
*note* This filter may not improve the look of some sigs, so use it wisely.

2) Sharpening: Once finished your sig, apply image a go to filters>sharpen>sharpen. Then lower the opacity of that layer to whatever you think looks good. (I suggest around 30%)
This should give your sig a higher quality look, as it should no longer be blury.

3)Sharpening c4d's: When adding c4d's to a sig it sometimes looks good to sharpen them, even when setting them to linear and colour dodge, as the sharpen gives them a more detailed look.
*Note* this may not apply to all sitautions and c4d's.

Crap. I thought this thread was on how to get deals at Arby's.

If I were remotely creative, and good with graphics I'm sure your tips would be wonderful, but whenever I try to use the sharpen function the shit I just made looks even more like shit. An example of my graphical ability is at http://www.blitzads.net/
