[Mïcrösöül°V³]

[h1]

I'll submit something later... want to check out the competition first. :P

[Rip The Jacker]

All of my fonts don't have those little weird i's and o's in your name! :P

EDIT: What kind of backround pic? What kind of font used?

EDIT 2: Plain and simple. Sleepy Hollow font, no weird characters, shadow, transparent backround.

Same background you entered for my sig :P

Shyte forgot about this, was making Bujub24 some shyte last night, i'll get on it, don't expect something as good as VB1234's or RTJ's tho

[blunt_on_tour]

I had a quick go at it, but I'm still trying to learn Photoshop. Seem to have trouble getting my gifs to optimize so the shadows are transparent and dont turn white :rolleyes: so I ended up using a jpeg instead.

[blunt_on_tour]

Here's a gif, slightly changed, but it'll look better than it is because it'll be on a white background this time (at least that's what I thought :rolleyes: ). This has been bugging me a lot lately - the non transparent shadows, and the jagged edges (even if I use the unsharp mask), so if anybody can tell me how to fix it I'll be grateful. Thanks :)

Here's a simpler one

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

those look really awesome

[blunt_on_tour]

A bit more colour (still can't get the drop shadow to optimize otherwise I'd have done it)

when you open a new file, enable transparency in the properties box -

http://filesharingtalk.com/sigs/trans.gif

and you can smooth the edges of the fonts by checking the &#39;options&#39; box in the &#39;window&#39; menu, this gives you the tool options bar at the top of the screen. when this is on and you&#39;re using the type tool, you can set it to &#39;crisp, &#39;smooth&#39; etc etc in the menu next to the font size box

if things still look jagged, adjust the quailty/colour settings in the &#39;save for web&#39; menu :D

Thanks for the tips, pol, but I&#39;ve already tried doing all that. The transparency problem, I think, is caused by too low a quality in the &#39;save for web&#39; stage. I&#39;ve since tried optimizing in Imageready, using the export optimized wizard tool thing (whatever it&#39;s called) and it seems a lot better.
I think the jagged edges are down to pasting a 72dpi image onto a 300dpi canvas - if I paste &#39;like to like&#39; it looks a lot better, but I still get the problem if I transform the image by pulling it or pushing it - I think a lot of that&#39;s down to trying to manipulate a low rez image.

Love the sigs you&#39;ve done - very impressive. I really like the animated gif at the top; I could sit and watch it for hours. How did you make it? Was it an online tool, or did you make it in Imageready, or something similar?

Thanks again :D

yep the output settings will affect the edges/shadows because of the lower amount of colours etc, but there should still be transparency - if there&#39;s not it must be a setting. sorry if it sounds obvious, but is the transparency box ticked in the saving options? (photoshop) -

http://filesharingtalk.com/sigs/t.gif

the jagged edges will be as you said, importing the lower res image

a way to get round that, if its not a photo - and you have the time :P, like with a design or shape you want to import, is to drag it on to your higher res pic, transform it as big as you need even though it&#39;s big and blocky, then turn down the opacity in that layer, just visible enough to work on top of it

then just use that layer as a template/guide and draw the image again on a new layer using paths, marquee selections with a stroke etc, then just fill it with gradients/textures/fills or whatever. using Mïcrösöül°V³&#39;s sig as an example, if you saw a photo of a tattoo with the design you like, just drag the layer in, blow it up, drop the opacity and &#39;trace&#39; over the image, then you have a good, big image that wont get messed up as much by transforming

illustrator is ideal for doing this, photoshop is good enough for tracing round designs/logos but illustrator can get as good as real photos, as its vector based and because of it&#39;s tools and gradients. it can be fairly complicated, but there are some excellent tutorial programs and even 2/3 hour videos on emule etc, look for &#39;adobe illustrator/photoshop total training&#39;, lots of it around. overkill for what we&#39;re talking about, but it&#39;s excellent

not sure if you already do this with imageready, but i find it the easiest way to make changes is to have the &#39;optimize&#39; box checked in the &#39;window&#39; menu (not sure if it&#39;s on by default), so you have this toolbox to work with..

http://filesharingtalk.com/sigs/optim.gif

..then it&#39;s easy to make any changes - and to see if it&#39;s good/small enough with the settings used, go to &#39;file&#39; menu, &#39;preview in..&#39; your browser. mess around with all the settings/levels like &#39;lossy&#39;, &#39;dither&#39; etc till you get what you need

and with the animated sig, thats just 2 basic flash text effects with this - magic flare (http://www.magicflare.com/magicflare/home.html) converted to gif&#39;s with this - magic swf2gif (http://www.itinysoft.com/) then tidied up and optimized with imageready :lol:

<!--QuoteBegin-Samurai
pol - What are you using to create the sigs you posted?

i did those with photoshop Samurai, radial gradients on the bottom layer of both, and the text &#39;streaks&#39; on the blue one are &#39;alien eye candy - motion trail&#39; plugins

the tribal thing is just filled circles/elipses using the selection tool then filling, then move the selection a bit and hit backspace to delete the selection, leaving just the edge, then adding some layer styles like bevels and shadows from the &#39;layer&#39; menu

main thing is to start them off much bigger than they&#39;ll be when finished, like 3x or more. then before you resize to finish, &#39;flatten&#39; or &#39;merge visible&#39; from the layer menu, otherwise the layer effects stay big and the bevels etc look out of proportion :)

[blunt_on_tour]

Thanks for the detailed reply, pol :)

Yeah, I always have the transparency box checked. Guess I&#39;ll just have to sit down and experiment a bit more to see what&#39;s going wrong. I&#39;ll read what you&#39;ve said in more detail later - right now I&#39;ve got to go to work (late already :huh: )

Thanks for the help.

[blunt_on_tour]

Phew...it&#39;s taken me a while to get back and read the post thoroughly: I&#39;ve been working on making a website in Photoshop and then slicing it up into a web template using Imageready - gave me a few headaches, because it&#39;s the first time I&#39;ve tried to do it, but I think it looks OK, and I got a real buzz out of seeing it up and working on the server with all the button rollovers in action. Made the mistake of doing button rollovers before I&#39;d finished editing the slices, so the javascript got thrown all out of whack when I optimised it :rolleyes:

I&#39;m not sure if I&#39;ve got Illustrator; I don&#39;t think so, but I&#39;ll have a look around for it. It&#39;s a big con that they don&#39;t give you everything you need in Photoshop really, isn&#39;t it? For what they expect you to pay for it, you should get the full deal.

Thanks again for the tips - I&#39;ll try them out next time I fire it up :)
