Then I used smaller ones in the front of the signature on sharpen.
I hid my render, applied image, topaz that one layer of the masks to add the effect that ice shards and water were splashing off. Went over and turned the opacity down to 40%, then I edited around the certain parts from before making sure the still crossed over and still didn't.
But thank you for your input and I don't think you are bashing me, well at least I hope not knowing that if I was a experienced graphic artist I wouldn't bash someone his is still new to it. I would try my best to help them.
