So as not to tie up the siggy shower with questions on how do I do that, where did you get that etc, I thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread with resources and questions.
I use photoshop so am not much help with other programmes, but for people learning photoshop, I recommend www.good-tutorials.com and for fonts www.dafont.com.
The fonts on dafont can be loaded to work with all software by installing to C:\\Windows\\Fonts
http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/ is a great resource for most applications, for Photoshop, you can d/l ready made PSD backgrounds, as well as brushes, fonts and filters. I would assume the same for the other software but haven't really checked.
