anyway, heres the tut...

1st create a blank document 3x3px, then get the pencil tool and draw a grid like this:

now go to edit>define pattern and save it!

Open a sig that youve already made create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) now select the paint bucket tool! now where it says forground (at the top of the screen) change it to 'pattern' and then click the dropdown arrow and select the pattern you just made!

now click on your sig to fill it with the pattern! then set the layer to overlay and there you have it...scan lines

you might what to make sure any text is above the scan lines layer or its a bit difficult to read!
