This tutorial will teach you how to multicolor without using the hue/saturation and gradient overlay that I use in almost all of my sigs.

1. Open up your signature or the image that you want to colorize. If you are using a render make sure you colorize it black and the sig.

2. Make a color balance layer above your sig layer by click on the circle that looks like a ying/yang at the bottom of your layer pallette.

3. Adjust it to the color of your choice which will be your first color I used pink.

4. Make another color balance layer aboove your other first one and adjust a different colors which will be your second color. I used blue.

5. Go up to Filter>>Render>>Clouds hit ctrl+f about 3 times.

You can add another color if you like just follow step 4-5. So far it should look something like this we're not done yet because it still looks a bit dull and boring:

6. Now add a Curves layer by click on the ying/yang circle at the bottom of your layer pallette.

7. Use these settings:

9. Make another color balance layer with the same color as your first or second color balance.

10. Filter>>render>>cloud

Optional steps:
You can add more color balance with different colors then filter>>render>>clouds for more result afterward do another curve and adjust it to what you think look best.

Note: I did not do the optional step since I only wanted to use 2 colors.

My final result with some effects and border:

It's easier if you just make a new layer,gradient,smudge it around then set the layer mode to colorize. But that won't give you the same effect. Nice tut. :D
