Okay, so what do I have to do (apart from fork out for some quality image editing software) to get myself a fine-looking sig/avatar, much like the rest of you wonderful gentlemen and ladies?
Seriously. I'd like to know.
Apparently my wonderful lady-friend can't get one either.
:(
Dont fret m8, tis easier than all that. Scoot along to the Win Gimp website, download the Gimp for windoze (its FREE!) & hav a tinker. Plenty of quality tutorials on there too. Just have a bash around.
0iD I reckon he means he can't choose one in the user CP.
Maybe you need 250 posts I can't remember.
Messed around with a screenshot of Far Cry in Photoshop. I'm by no means an expert, it's quite easy to create pleasing results :p
mine was made in paint with some pictures from websites :D

They're free for 30 days, plenty time to have a play about and come up with a decent enough avatar, and you dont even need to be particularly skilled in it either!Quote:

The question now is, what sizes are your sigs and avatars - pixel-wise?
Anyone used GIMP, know if it's any good?
my sigs something like 120 * 400ish and made in photoshop 6.0
avatars are smaller, the max size is in your user cp iirc
mine was 2 minutes in PS, and everyone seems to like it
120 x 400 ish? Pixels?
Because I just put a couple of sigs together, and when I tried to upload them, they were tiny!
Mine were 600 x 212 I think, or something.
right click > properties > size
Duh.
I'm feeling stupid now!
Still puzzled though, since the pixel size of my sig is higher than your, yet the thing is minute.
Just a quick favour - if I send my sig to someone, is there any chance they could resize it for me and return it?
That would be quicker than me waiting until I get home tonight and coming back tomorrow.
Thanks.
yeah send it on, i'll even host it for you if you like. Email is in the sig.
Thank you!!
:D
You're magnificent!
