Killa_N_Manila Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Gj, but it might be easier for some of the slower connections to load it if your sig was saved as a .gif or .bmp. It takes a longer time to load because it is jpg, and it is a pretty big file for a small sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumkp Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Saving your sig as a jpg was the best format. However, when you go to save it knock the compression on it to about 50% (depending on the program). Gifs are only suitable for sigs with few colours (e.g. velos) and .bmps are evil beyond words.

Yeah that sounds about right, with mine you see i only use 3 basic colours on it. Therefore i was able to create a large, good graphical quality, 480x100 pixel sig at only 2577 bytes - loads really fast compared to some thats about 20-30K.

ArchAngeL143 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I generally save in .gif format. Mine turned out alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you want to post the 3 screenies on your site I would be happy to stick them all together and optimise them for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holman Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 im using adobe photoshop. ive already brightened them, and now im just looking for a better site to host them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumkp Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Photoshop = Excellent (well from my point of view). What you might like to try is putting the screenies on different layers then feathering the edges where they join to get a nicer overlap (use a feathered eraser). Anyway, if you have ps v5 or above go to file:save for web. Here you will get options to adjust the quality of the image (in %) and the pixel size (for here, under 480x100). As said you should be able to knock your image down to about 50% quality and that should take your image to between 7-10k. Hope this helps.
