Testing sig - Caribe - 02-20-2007
Yes I did it in paint but no one has told me yet how do I put it in my signature.
Note: Paint = Precise Science (as in pixel x pixel) / Photo Shop = Sloppy Science (as in mistakes aren't that bad)

Oops, sorry, the code is:
Code:
[IMG]http://website that hosts your image/image filename[/IMG]To get there, you can use the 'My Controls' link or click on your name in the 'Logged in as: Caribe (Log Out)' and select 'Edit my signature'.
Hehe, I like your art, takes an awful lot of patience. I've seen things done in Paint that people would never believe can be done. Don't underestimate Photoshop though, I'm some six years into it as a pro and I'm still learning, you can't believe the know-how there is in it. The true Photoshop power isn't in the bulk shiny effects or the lot of filters, that's the easy part. As for the precision, Photoshop is precise in percentages of a pixel.:P
edit: added the code as it wouldn't display

Oops! Now, go to www.photobucket.com, sign in for an account there and host your images there. I do that.

Aye, anybody who wants to host images should go to photobucket. I use it it to post all of my screenshots.
Also, when It comes to quality issues, I have found that saving files as .gif is one of the best ways (see my upper sig image) as opposed to .jpeg( lower sig image). Photobucket aslo doesn't accept image uploads of some of the really fancy fle types.

Not exactly true QV, gif can only have 256 colors as opposed to jpeg's 24-bit (True Color).
What am I rambling about? Read about Color Depth.
JPEG has something called 'compression' or 'quality', so,
more quality = less compression = bigger file
less quality = more compression = smaller file
What am I rambling about? Read about JPEG.

I use neither. I prefer PNG because I get transparency and good quality.
GIF = Transparency but bad quality
JPEG = Good quality but no Transparency
PNG = Both Good Quality and Transparency
Testing sig - Nightfall - 02-22-2007
Hehe, yes I use PNG when I need transparency, downfall is though, it's a huge file:(

Hmm interesting, all of these file types offer different ways of showing images. I think for now I will still with .gif because, if you look at my two sigg images, the upper one is a gif file and the lower one is a jpeg file. I think the upper one looks a lot cleaner and more refined and the lower one looks blurry.
