Avatars: Yay! Sig pics: Grrr

Thanks Greydoom!!

I actually figured out how to load a custom one.

Major accomplishment for someone of my limited simian brain.

Good job! And I like the avator you chose.

We should give it a few weeks before someone lays the smackdown at least, see how things turn out.

How do you shrink .sig pics so they can be used as avatars?

Do you have photoshop or something like it?

Unfortunately, no.

How's my sig? Does anyone think it's too big?

I think it's a bit large, can you make it see thru?
The thing wth sigs is they look like big block pictures.
They tend to look so bold they become an eyesore fast.
The eye's get over loaded you know what I mean?
If there wasn't so much black, it wouldn't be so bad.
But why not just post the quote in text and leave out the picture altogether, seeing as it's the same pic as you avatar's.
It's not that bad though, I saw someone with a Huge shocking purple sig, I have to say, I did not like that, it hurts my eyes to read that person's posts.

I think it looks fine, but Mythandlore has a point. Now that we have avatars, you can just post the text, because the image is your avatar.

Unfortunately, no.

You could ask someone else to do it for you, we're a pretty nice crowd. If you want I could shrink it and email it back to you, I'd just have to known how big you want it.

Like that?

Edit: Argh. Of course, on a white background, it doesn't look nice. Try on a dark bakground.

I may play with it a bit. I'd like to make it the same size as Talon's, his seems like a good size. Maybe I'll just use the head instead of the head and shoulders like it is now. I'd like to make the background see through but I don't know how.

Actually I'm pretty proud that I was able to do as much as I did. I've been experimenting with photo editors. Unfortunately, Photoshop is beyond me. Talk about a non-intuitive program Can anyone recommend a decent paint program that's fairly easy to use. I'd like to be able to make the background in my sig transparent if that's possible.

Well, there's always good ole' 'Paint'.

'Fireworks' is very user friendly, but maybe somewhat limited. Very good to make simple webpage graphics like buttons and etc.

'Paint Shop Pro' is pretty good too. Not as user friendly as Fireworks but much more capable, although still not Photoshop capable.
