I tried creating a nice new sig for myself, but I just can't get it right
Here's what I have so far.

Nommy


EDIT: My biggest problem is that when I resize it, PS completely messes the sig up. Now I know why this is, but argh!
Is there some way to keep the quality nice and high while resizing?

Are you working at a large image quality and then resizing down, always work as high res as possible and then resample/resize/save to a lower size this way you have less chance of loosing quality ...
Take my sig for eg. If I exported this image at 1:1 it would be 3249x751 px 1.78Mb ... this is way to high but if I save it at 650x150 px which is the forums max I loose very little quality

PooMan I was about to suggest you to her, to have a look I knew you would understand her needs on the Sig.

well if you look closely at my sig, nick has helped by adding a little color to my pewter stag, so now it looks regal to suit me properly

thanks nick.

I make all my sigs in 1300x300, so it shouldn't really be a problem, but I'll try to double the size to 2600x600 for my next one. Thanks for the tip:)

Just checked to be sure, and yep, I'm as male as it gets.

Don't check to many times ... you'll go blind

Zip the version that seems ok and post it here and I'll have a looky at it for you

OK, thanks! But it'll have to wait until tomorrow though, since it's nearly 1 am here and I'm sending this from my phone.

i was having a play last night and came up with this.
not too keen on it and wouldnt use it as a sig, i like the crest and tartan in my sig but it was interesting to see what i could do.
its still early days but im thinking i will keep this and see how i can improve in the future, think of it as a bench mark

like this,

and..

Nick I'm glad to see you finally changed your sig. You'd had the same one for the whole of my 2yrs, 4 months here.
