| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00  | Didn't have anything to do, so considering the other one went bye bye, here ya go. I'll upload the pictures that go along with it later. Please try and send this one to the top every few days. I'm just pasting this in from the file on my CPU so if there are some errors...well, eff you. 1. Sign up for a website provider. In this case I will use 50megs.com 2. Familiarize yourself with uploading files on 50megs.com 3. Get an image editor; in this I will use Photoshop 6.0. Most image editors have the same basic tools that I will use here. 4. Obtain an image that you’ll want to use as the centerpiece of your sig. Here is the one I will use:  5. Sig pics must be no more than 500 pixels; my selected picture is a lot more than that. 6. To change the size of your picture, go to “IMAGE†at the top of the screen. Then under “IMAGE†select “Image Size.† 7. After selecting “Image Size,†a new window will pop up. 8. Make sure that the two top drop down menus on the upper right are set to “Pixels.†9. Set the width to 214 and the height to 280.  10. You will now see that your image has shrunk. 11. It is now time to crop out the part of the image that you wish to use in your sig. 12. In your toolbar (usually situated on the left) you will see a little icon that looks like a rope. 13. To make the selecting easier, right click on the rope and select the “Polygonal Lasso Tool.†14. Now its time to make the selection. Click where you want to start to make the selection. 15. Once you have your selection, press ctrl-c to copy the selection.  16. Now’s time to create a new image to paste your selection onto. 17. Create a new image, which is smaller than 500 pixels, but can accommodate your selection. 18. Now its time to paste your selection into the picture. 19. Press ctrl-v to paste the selection onto your new image. 20. Position the new layer by clicking on it and dragging it wherever you want on the image. 21. You will now notice that there are some areas of your selection that do not need to be there. To get rid of these areas click the eraser in your toolbar and make the appropriate selections.  22. To add text to your image, click the big “T†in your toolbar. 23. Select the area in which you want there to be text.  24. Type in the text you want. 25. Congratulations you sick eff! You have just made your sig pic! 26. Press ctrl-shift-s to save your pic. 27. Under the save window, make sure the file type is listed as a .jpg. 28. Upload your pic to 50megs.com 29. To add your picture to your sig, go to your profile, and under signature type in "IMG"then your image url, then "/IMG" (Replace the '""' with '[]')  I'm still saved....

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | If you look hard enough, you can find a hacked english version of Paint Shop Pro 7 around. I mean, warez sites are a dime a dozen. Do i know a good one you ask? Of course i dont......why would you ask me? "With just a touch of my burning hand I send my astro zombies to rape this land Prime directive, exterminate The whole human race And your face drops in a pile of flesh And then your heart, heart pounds Till it pumps in death Prime directive, exterminate Whatever stands left" -The Misfits I hate you. I hate everything you stand for. Please, for the love of christ, do not send me a E-mail | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | MMMMMMMMMMTOP!! Now it's mine. :) Ok, the illustrations are gone, but the tutorial is still pretty good. And, people seem to be having a hard time finding this. I don't know why, I did a search for "sig pic", and there it was.
