Not bad, not bad, i think i forgot to mention, but try holding shift when doing the border, render needs to blend a bit more, so id try to lighten the stars

yea the border kept like starting over when i would take my time to make it straight so i just like hurried through that. how do i lighten the stars more?

wait i think i did it. hows this?

Try setting them on colour or linear dodge, aswell, lower the oppacity of any dark layers, and the stars

yea hows that now?

ok i think i did it now. how is this?http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/9423/halosig.jpg

Better, but its a bit odd how theres a glow round the halo guy

I tell you what, in the morning im gonna work on the sig, an i'll give u a link to a psd for it (learning purposes only!)

yea the glow was from the smudging part of the edges. i guess i didnt do that part right. cause then when i set it to pinlight, it did that. so idk. maybe i didnt do the smudging right?
