Jesus H. That Near Dark banner was about 100 times harder to make than people might think it was. :p
I developed the concept a couple days ago. In order for it to work, I had to extract a traffic sign in the background where Paxton is playing with the gun. There are 65 frames in the image and I had to be lights out perfect in the extraction of every frame if I wanted this banner to work. Couple that with the fact that the image on the left with the vamps walking up the hill is actually two images. The second image is where the NEAR DARK text comes into play. I had to scale the image of the vamps walking up the hill to fit the image of them standing there with the NEAR DARK text, crop/cutout the excess parts of that first image, as well as blend the opacity well enough in both images so the Near Dark text could come into play. I was kind of just winging it and it all came together. 95% of the time I spent making this banner I was thinking "Nah, this shit definitely isn't gonna work at all". :p
But I am the 2nd greatest photoshop master on this site, and I would not be denied. YoU sEe ThAt ClUtChNeSs?!?!?!?!
Anyway, that's kind of the blueprint on how I've been making these banners, so far.

You just need to have an Adobe ID. You can download for free from their own website.

Just listen to everything that guy says and it should work perfectly. I used Chrome to make the download. I think you use Firefox, which may not be a problem at all, but if you run into a snag, try downloading in chrome.
