Hi Arc
Have taken the liberty of resizing for you. Would not reduce to exactly 600 x 200 so I cropped it and let the aspect ratio "Bend" a touch. I don't think the aspect ratio notices at all but your eyes are younger than mine!
Hold on, the files too big, I'll convert it to a Gif and see how that looks.

Nice said, Mitchell Thanks again !

Arc your sig has lost it's transparency since you've used the gif file. Although Mitchell's (nice job btw) file does have a transparent background it looks as if your "CP" has converted the gif and thus become non transparent. Looks cool if your using a light coloured forum theme but looks a bit pants when you view it with a dark theme. If I was you I'd stick with the png just because it's not exactly 600x200 doesn't really matter, but you have the psd file so I'm sure you could make it fit to the size you want

That's what I am facing the trouble
I have two constraints ... 146 kb or 600*200 , whichever is larger. I cannot manage it within this size

Arc pal as long as you stay within these constraints you'll be fine. Just resize proportionately your width/height. ie. Currently the file I did is 1024x510. Now if you resampled that to the max that you are allowed you would get 402 x 200. This is without cropping or changing the page size. Now if you crop some of the height you can gain/increase some width and still stay within the constraints that your allowed. It won't be exactly 600x200 but it will get close. (see pic) If you want it exactly 600 x 200 then you will have to add some bricks or something to the left and right of the image, soz but when I drew it originally I wasn't working exactly to your size constraints my aim was more trying to show you how you could design/draw it yourself

I would like to Thank ZaLith for a new sig he made for me

Well, I noticed the other day you liked Back To The Future and I've been meaning to do something like that for a few days already.. Glad you like it.

ZaLiTH, Sorry for late response. Thanks for the sigs, very nice. Have put up the 100 one, will save the 150 for the future
Thanks again.

No worries, I'm quite happy with how they came out.. The glassy reflection works a bit better on the 600x100px sig anyway.

Sorry about this only just got back to this thread. Cannot understand why the Gif has lost its trans. It was OK as I changed my Forum theme to black to check it and it was fine with no white border. Am having another go but I am still on 100px and/or 146kb file size. Can you check your max file size please, surely it is more than my 146 kb. I will make this work eventually, my slogan is "We don't have problems, just solutions" so I will win in the end. There's life in th oldens yet

Have come up with this PNG. It is the right size, is less than 146px and I have made a copy that is only 100px high, put that in as my signature, changed my Forum theme to black and it works!!!!!
Attached is the full size copy for you to try. Should be OK. Don't ask me what I did because it must rank as the most inelegant piece of image editing ever. It would be frowned upon by the purists. lets hope it holds the Trans background.

Made some new textures if anyone wants them

Just tested the sig in the black theme and its working fine but i see it is a Gif now. Am confused, which Gif is this? Did you upload the PNG and if so has the Forum s/w changed it to a Gif?

 

[derekimo]

I think it changes all of them to Gif, Right click on any of them for properties and they come up as Gif.

I just used the sig you uploaded
The forum converts everything in gif
About your sig... Why dont you Make the "sigpic" text centered, and the following text in the next line, centered too ? The message is cool, btw

Main thing is your sig works as we wanted it to. Must write down my method of reducing the file size of a PNG without loosing any quality. Will come in useful in future. Will look at my sig text when i put up the 150px version.

Arc pal, if you want to play with some cool graffiti spray paint effects, have a looky at some of these neat tutorials...

realistic graffiti effect

spray paint tutorial

You can do this kinda thing

Thanks, Nick ! That's you who taught me the lessons I learned , and now another one. I am going through them , but one thing always makes me wonder... how can you separate a part from an image so easily ?

BTW , do you know any free alternative of Myriad font, Nick ?

I use Magic Eraser which erases the color channel on what you select. Comes in handy many a times. But if the surrounding color is multi, u can make use of the same and then use the eraser with the image zoomed to multi.

I made myself a sig for the Emerge Desktop forum, pretty much marking my return to ED after upgrading from XP (left logo and wallpaper) to Win7 (right logo and wallpaper)... Very basic, but I think the blending in the middle came out pretty well actually. What do you guys think?

AWESOME!!!

Just one tiny point. Red text on a bluish background or vice versa
Just my humble opinion though!

I must agree there... The blue/green background seems to follow a pastel colour theme, so the bright red 'GT' stands out quite a lot... Why don't you try make it more like a maroon than red? That way it should blend in with the rest a bit more smoothly.
