New Sig

After about an 90 minutes of messing around in Paint, I made something I've found good enough to use as my new sig. The old one was good, but I felt something new was needed with the forum change.



What do you guys think, any suggestions for when I create another one?

 

Lol they are nice I think you could clear the white part of the background, and save it as a PNG, but I like it very much

 

What do you mean by clearing the white background, and whats the advantage of PNG?

I'm not real savy on picture making.

 

Nice! They are so cute!

 

never underestimate the power of google image search! I used that to find the eeveelution pics.

Also while making this, I figured out how to make it so that added pics have a transparent background. Thus how I was able to get all the pokemon to overlap eachother.

 

Great! Next time, if you need any help in making sigs in Photoshop, just ask.

 

I would if I had photoshop, I made that image with paint, believe it or not.

 

www.gimp.org
www.paint.net

 

that paint.net looks interesting.

It's like a mix between paint and photoshop, I'm going to go experiment on it! Figure out how things work.

 

How do you get pictures with transparent backgrounds on the forum? Whenever I try to download them onto photobucket or Imageshack, the picture types that they can use automatically flattens the image into one layer, erasing the transparent layer.

 

Try saving it as .png

 

ok i got it to work. Instead of creating multiple layers, I just removed the sky section from the original layer, thus I have 1 layer, but the sky sections don't exist in the layer.

I also saved it as a .png, not sure if that changed anything though.

 

It has to be .png or .gif with an alpha layer

 

how's an alpha layer different from normal ones?

I can tell messing with Paint definately hasn't tought me much about graphical work.

 

The alpha layer holds the transparency infromation.

select the white area and then select "color to alpha" To dot at though you will need a real image editing tool since paint doesnt have that

 

I know MS paint doesnt have that, but I downloaded the image editor Paint.NET (one of the ones you suggested in a former post).

I'll have to see if that option is available on it.

 

I like the new sig better than the old.

It's kewl.

 

thx, I wonder who voted for option 2/5.

Now if only I could draw as good as the images are, then I would beat kurai in strategy games AND drawing.

 

kawaii
This one gets my stamp of approval.

 

Nice! But don't let BoP confuse you if you have a more appropriate image editor then you can just turn off the white background, no need to colour anything.

The colours are a little blurry though, you should try fixing that.
