If you are using something like Photoshop you have been saving them as Photoshop files right?

Keep on doing that if you want to come back and edit it later, but also save a copy as JPG/GIF/PNG

Preferably GIF if you are using it here seeing as it tends to give you the smaller file size. PNG tend always to be way too big and JPG you have to play with the quality level.

Now to do this, after you saved it as a project (The photoshop .psd for example), so back to File>Save As... This time under file type, open the drop menu and select ".gif", ".jpg" or ".png" Then when you do it will automatically add "copy" to the file name. Then hit save. For ".gif" you just click okay to everything, unless you want to play around with some settings. With ".jpg" you can lower and raise the quality and on the bottom it will tell you the file size. With ".png" you will have two options, leave it on its default. ^_^ Hopefully that helped...

It's mostly just a matter of experimentation. Mine's more about creative cropping. You just resize an image down to however big you want and pick sections to copy and move over to different places. Then there's a light texture thrown in there and a pin light layer to balance all of the colors out. As for the second two, rotation is the key. Crop the images how you want and put them on a large enough canvas that they'll fit completely, then rotate them around by going to edit, transform, rotate. Looks like a lot of bevel and emboss was used as well with some brushes. Also, the second looks like they either erased parts and saved it as a transparent .gif or they used a template of some kind. I don't ever use templates, so I can't really tell you how. I just never much liked them.

Thanks for that Casteal, hopefully I can come up with some good creations
Ive just had a quick go and this was the end result. I made a copyright brush, but I made it too small here.
