Tom, do not stay up late and slog away at the sig hour after hour, otherwise I'm going to have one very bad conscience

In the meantime, I can say the following about the graphics editing/manipulating programs I've tried out so far:
-I find Corel Paint Shop Pro X4 really difficult to handle. Applying one's own gradient is complicated, and there does not seem to be a ctrl+click command to simply load a layer object or shape like in Adobe Photoshop (corresponds to right-clicking on a layer and choosing "Alpha to Selection" in GIMP).
-GIMP is brilliant once one is used to the user interface. Some filters still need a bit of sophistication, though (Pagecurl, for instance), and there do not seem to be many preset shapes or bevels.
-Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 (10 was just released, by the way) is my favourite besides GIMP.
So using the combination of PSE9 and GIMP, I'm perfectly happy

Don't feel bad Athene I chose to try out the animation so I'm the only one to blame. It's actually quite fun, but I doubt I'm going to remember everything that I've learnt in the past few days! Besides, I'm finished now It's uploading to Photobucket now

Let me know if you want the full res (1300*300) one and I'll upload that as well Or if you (or anyone else) wants the PSD to play with then just let me know

Okay, I've finally finished it all Here it is:

I tried to save the 1300*300 version but Photoshop told me that I don't have enough RAM to do so. If you would like this, then someone else will have to download the .psd file and save it for you

 

[Athene]

WOW!!! Tom, that's stunning! I do not require the PSD file or the 1300 x 300 version.
Thank you soooooooooo much for all your time and trouble. I hope you intend to relax and get some fresh air after all that slogging! :-D
Edit: Damn! I wanted to rep you but I have to spread it around! *hits table with fist*...Ow!

Tom, it's too big to use as my sig, I tried "Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website" and I'm told that the file is too large It's about 5.6 MB...

Glad you like it Athene Don't worry about the rep! The wonderful sig you made for me is more than enough to thank me. Haha, yes, time for a break I think

Hmm, maybe I should have checked that first. I thought you would just be able to embed it as a photo (not as a sig pic) because it's on a 3rd party site. Obviously not. I'll shrink it down a bit and reduce the frame rate, but to be honest, I doubt I'll get it under that size Yeah, there's a lot of layers and smart objects in it and there's 5 seconds of 30 frames per second.

Mmmm 5.58mb what a shame.Not sure you will be able to reduce that enough

 

[Athene]

Ha, managed to rep you now :-D Get some rest, Tom, and don't worry about the size :-D I've saved it to my computer where I can gaze at it )

I know it's completely off topic, but what's the BBCODE tags for linking to a member? I see most of you do it when someone makes a sig for you and I have no idea how to do it

Haha, I tried doing that already. But I see people with bold and coloured links (the corresponding colour to that user's status - gfx, sf team etc.) and I was wondering how they do that
