Ook...i know how to add a picture to a signature but ...i dont know how to make a picture and add it to a signature.
For example, there are users who make their OWN pictures, like with their user names and stuff on them, and then they have it for signature. I get my pictures from the net, but seriously, i want to edit or create my own picture because not all the pictures in the net suit me.
How do you make a signature pic? like your OWN signature picture?
Please help.

I made mines on JASC Paintshop Pro 7.

You could ask someone on the forums to make you one, I frankly dont have the time, and theres a lot of people much better than me.

Heey...:) not bad man. When i learn how to make my own picture, i can probably make one of Jill and Regina. Thanks dude, what i like is that you did it right. Seifer and Snake never looked better together than that, it actually looks like a crossover fighting game (named Squaresoft VS Konami: Millenium fight 2004).
Its not bad, its good...when i learn how to make my own, i'll fix the leftouts.
Thanks bud, i'll use that one for now (i just need to know the Url for the image so i can place it under my signature).

To find the URL Right Click on goto Properties on the Pic. The URL for your sig is..

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid64/pb2997e6a4b8f06d2bc5444ad0d13ed97/fbff3715.jpg

The best way to get to grips with image editors is to just mess around on them, realise what each feature does. Thats what I did, then look at some Tutorials on effects etc.

Could I possibly have some sort of guidlines on signature pic sizes so i dont do one thats too big please becasue i dont wanna slow down peoples connection with my image...:ghost:

For dimensions, not larger than 40-50 Kb is enough.

Just to save mark0 having to answer the question - the image is on a username account that he uses to store his images on the website Imagestation.com - you can then link to these for downloading and moving to do what you want with them - basically the images are stored online instead of cluttering up your hard drive (unless its 120gb of course).

My computer is currently 97 gbs..it was 100 before.

Oh well you must have some space to clutter up - i suggest buying some of the latest games - that'll chew your space. (Im not suggesting you actually do this).

Shogun:TOTAL WAR warlord edition was the reason of the GB loss (it took up at least 200 mbs) so i dont do games in my computer, i use it for workshop or stuff like that. Surfing the net and all...i just go to my friends and play some of the cool games.

Dont forget mm2 takes 450mb for full installation and 260mb for minimum. Now thats a big game in my opinion

blindman
Jun 5th, 2003, 04:35 PM
Too big..ill stay away from it if i where you...
but i heard its a good game.

Zephyr
Jun 5th, 2003, 04:38 PM
Well i didnt find it too big but just wait till mm3 is released - now thats gonna be a whopper.:laugh:

Blindman, for knowing how to make a sig, first of all you need the pictures. Looking for pictures you like is the first step, then looking for the host to upload the sig is next required step.

As for a tutorial, depends on which effects do you want in it. Some people use only one image, some others merge more than one image together. Just this first thing shows you that the "utlimate" sig tutorial doesn't exist. You have to think about what kind of result you want to obtain and work focusing on your idea, at least at the beginning. It'd be impossible to tell you how to make a sig without knowing how do you want it to look like :heh: but maybe it's just me... I'm not good with explanations...

Hey, its alright. I was told that a good idea to make a sig is to just go crazy with whatever. Yeah i can do that so i'll do it. Hey, im not good at explanations either, if you where my teacher or a kid in my class, you'll know for sure. I ask record questions in record time about the same thing, well, math at least. Sometimes i just ask to make sure.
Thanks though, i'll keep this one till i come up with one that includes everything. I still got to thank Vic though.
