how do you make sigs...im trying to make one now with adobe photoshop but it is quite hard...

what program do you use to make em???

[Chruser]

Photoshop for the final touches, and LightWave for the 3d effects in my case.

I use photoshop for everything, but I had to use PhotoImpact to convert it to .jpg format which screws up the whole image ( stupid comprassion)

It's tough... I know. We all start somewhere. :p

First of all, I would suggest you experiment with, and/or follow some of the Photoshop tuts in the link below (not ALL of them are for Photoshop).

DeviantART (http://www.deviantart.com) also has some user-submitted tutorials for various 2D/3D programs.

Just try snooping around the program and see what you find, too. I know the Lens Flare (filter) is cool looking for graphics begginers, but it's really not that impressive for a beginner. You CAN use it, but not very many people like it (that is, if you ever wanted it rated/comment on). Experimentaion is the key to progressing in the graphics world. Sooner or later, those tuts aren't going to be very useful. Your creativy edge is what counts. ;)

Once you get better at Photoshop, try finding/downloading a 3D program, such as 3D Studio Max (kind of hard), Cinema 4D (somewhat easy), Maya (very hard), Lightwave (hard), or Bryce (easy). You can find any of them off Kazaa/KazaaLite. I suggest that you get better at Photoshop BEFORE you take a shot at 3D programs, because most of the time, you'll be using Photoshop for the touch-ups (i.e. text, lineart, airbrushing, etc.).

another question...what is the picel max for the sig???

I would assume you mean "pixel"...
A good size for a sig is 420x65 pixels. The max size the forums will allow is 500x400 or so.

thanks

one last question(sorry)...how do you insert the sig into the signiture box when you are editing your profile?

[Jamesadin]

Well first you host it, www.iownjoo.com is a good place to do it. Then you take the url, and put it in your sig space. then insert [img] tags around it. So in the end, this should be in your sig space.. [img.]www.iownjoo.com/imghost/XXXXXXXX.XXX [/img.] (dont put in the periods in the [img] and the tags)

[allanonx]
