WOW... Great Work Paul

paul, if you keep the images at 650 x 150 you wont have any trouble with transparency when uploading for a sig.

we make them at 1300 x 300 then reduce them by half for the sig upload, its easier to work with the bigger size as you can see all the details .
the secret is to save the image at 1300 x 300 then open the saved image then resize it .
this way any effects dont distort.

They are very good Paul. GIMP is very capable. It's what I started with.

Thanks Steph.

I have been playing around with Andrews sig again this morning as the original was very basic, I think it looks a bit better now but I still have a lot to learn (it is good fun though and quite addictive!)

Paul.

Thank you kandy, Steph, Kado and Bongo for the kind words. I am just a beginner right now, but you got to start somewhere right?

Thanks for the tips Julian

You guys and girls are really turning out some great looking sigs. To learn it and be able to do what you all do is amazing to me.
