Dan Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Fred, to answer your question...first of all, to get transparency, at least for now, you need to save your images as a .GIF. The problem with GIFs is that it only has a capability of 256 colors - the colors aren't set, like "you can only use this red", it's really just 256 colors from your image, and anything else close to that is changed to the picked red. Internet Explorer displays .PNG's with a light blue background (which is one of the many things people hate about it), so that won't work either. I know my avatar has that background in IE - I haven't gotten around to changing it. So back to the sig. You need to get the background color of where your sig will be displayed - the easiest way is to take a screenshot of the page. I'm not at the computer with Photoshop right now, so I took a look at the CSS stylesheet for this site and the color you need to use is #EFEFEF. Just set that as your background color and you'll be all set. -dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kccitystar Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Here's a sig i just made. Got in the mood, lol: This font is wierd in the fact that when you capitalize a letter it shows up backwards in the same size as lowercase, which is why I just type it like this, "johan santana" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year though, for one of my electives I will most definitly take Web Design My furture high school offers a computer graphic art class where Photoshop CS2 is PROVIDED. How cool is that. I'll be taking that next year and maybe I can whip up some sigs to finally post in this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBs Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey, just wondering, anyone feel like making me a sig with Bagwell, Biggio and Berkman in it? If you can only do one player, then do Bagwell, preferably red, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 No problem. Personal things are more important than a sig. here you go: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 fred13 - when you have the pattern finished, go to Edit>Define Pattern (or something similar)...it doesn't matter what you save it as. Then you can do a pattern overlay or go to Layer>New Fill Layer>Pattern and select your pattern. -dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonj92 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Could anyone make me a Nook Logan on the Nats sig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonj92 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Here is a sig I made, MY FIRST SIG EVER!! It is bad, no it is worse than bad, it shouldn't even be counted as a sig, it is so simple. I just need a little advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Edited because I was being a n0ob. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think I pictured everyone as being older because I automatically associate people's avatars and sigs with them. For example, I think DUnit looks like Bubba Crosby and JoeyMcM93 looks like Barry Zito. i thought of that when i saw marks sig :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campo09 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 New sig, any thoughts, or suggestions on how to improve my sig. first in about a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
