Cody's Rank Bar Tutorial

First make a new image that is 100 pixels wide and 20 pixels high.

Your canvas will look like this:

Go to effects > render > clouds.

(You can choose the size and smoothness of the clouds)

Once you have done that, your canvas will look like this:

Add a new layer.

Place your text.

Once you have done that, your canvas will look like this:

Add a new layer.

Add a 1 pixel border.

Once you have done that, your canvas will look like this:

Add a new layer.

Make a black and white gradient.

Once you have done that, your canvas will look like this:

Go to layer > layer properties.

Set the layer to lighten.

Set the opacity to 150.

You are now done.

Your rank should look like this.

Save it as a PNG file.

you could probably add colour throughout the ranks. e.g. first rank = B&W, second rank = a little bit of colour. And so on...
