1. How long does it take you to make on average (for real LOL) a Siggy?
It depends on the pictures I'm given to work with. If people give me pictures of Kellie and they're all from the same event it'll take me maybe 20-30 minutes. But when I get different pictures (ie. one of Kelly Clarkson on the beach, one of Carrie in a field, and one of Kellie performing on stage it takes me longer to blend them since the backgrounds aren't matching) That could take me up to an hour.

2. What Programs Does Everyone Use?
I use PSP7 .. I downloaded the lastest version, PSP10 but I couldn't figure that out at all.

3. Does Everyone do it in there Programs by Layers?
I sure do

Using the Eraser Brush

01. We can start off by using two images.

02. Create a new image. I used the dimensions 300x160 pixels

03. Copy and paste both images in your new image.

04. Go to View >> Toolbars>> Then make sure that the boxes that say "Layer Palette" and "Tool Options Palette" are checked. Click on the eraser brush. For the options where it says "Shape" put "Round" "Size: 66" and Hardness "63".

05. On your layer pallette. Make sure Layer 2 (right image) is higlighted then go to your image and start erasing the part that is covering her face.

Then keep erasing till you get it how you like it
