ReefDreamz Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ok, how do i create a cool looking signature like most of you have here? Very cool! Link to comment
jestep Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Most people use photoshop or another photo editing program. There's a number of free ones out there. Link to comment
GHill762 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 ^yup... then once you have that photo in your sig, while you're still in your sig setttings you can highlight the pic and use the "link" button to link that picture to your build thread.. Link to comment
D Z Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Please do not get intimidated by jestep mentioning photoshop. What you are looking to do can easily be done in paint. Just paste whatever picture you want to use into paint. If you want to include any words, use the text feature to type over the picture. I would recommend resizing the picture to whatever size you want within paint. Then you can upload the new image to whatever hosting site you are using and do what HGill said above. Link to comment
nova423 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 GIMP is a good free photoshop alternative Link to comment
GHill762 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I actually made/edited mine right on photobucket.. granted it's not nearly as fancy as most peoples'.. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yup..PS, then link image code to your thread. You can either make a banner or several small images like me. I've used animated gifs as well. I think the key is to keep it long and short (like 800 x 60). Try not to make it too tall. If you have a giant sig, it's just annoying for everyone. Link to comment
Alexraptor Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Some sigs can also be made from a single spectacular photo. Link to comment

Hexadron Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Try not to make it too tall. If you have a giant sig, it's just annoying for everyone. This. I don't know how many signatures I had to 'Ignore' here because they are like 600px high Long and shallow I say! Also, it's great to learn to do these things yourself, but post an image and an idea you are looking for and I can help you out Link to comment
tgore Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I just googled that bish! I will say though if I had a quality picture I would edit it into something personal instead of what I currently have lol. Which reminds me I need to update it, I don't have that system anymore. Link to comment
