how do I make signatures

[Cedi]

Hi there,

 

I have a question for the one who makes those beautifull signatures?

Is there anyone who can and will explain to me step by step how i can to make them.

I really love some here in the forum, but i don't really understand how i have to make it.

My english is good but not in the 'computer language', so I don't come very far with making them.

I hope there is someone here who will help me or knows if there is some kind of making it step by step?

 

Greetz and Celine is the Best

You can make them in Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or there`s a software called GIMP that`s free

There`s some great tutorials online for signatures as well one of my favorite sites is pixel2life.com

Hope that helps!

You can also use PhotoPlus 6, which is a free program. In addition, there are signature guidelines (for size and other info). Here is the link to the those:

Signature Guidelines for the Forum

 

Basically, you have to create a signature in a graphics program, such as Photoshop, GIMP, MS Paint, PhotoPlus 6 or other graphic editing software and then upload the picture to an image sharing site such as Photobucket or ImageShack (these are free sharing sites). Then you go into your Control Panel and click on Edit Signature (link on left side panel). Then you would click the icon that says Insert Image. You would then paste the URL of your image from image sharing site and you should see the picture come in immediately.

 

If you need any assistance, please let me know and I'll be glad to help you.

like Kathy said, there are a lot of tutorials online. some are easy enough to follow. just be forewarned, learning programs like Photoshop may take some time so be patient with it. at first it may seem hard but it gets easier with time

[Cedi]

Thanks for the help i've made one as you can see

[wolfepaw]

Very, very nice, Cedi!! What program did you use? Did you look at any of the tutorials to learn how to do what you wanted to do with it?

 

Pretty soon, you'll be the one giving advice about making signatures.

Is it safe to download photoshop 6 fromthis site do you know?

here

[wolfepaw]

CelineRox, Yes. That's were I started to download 6 and upgraded to 8 for $9.99. It's the website of the software publishing of PhotoPlus, Serif Software. They are located in the Europe and North America. I have actually ordered software from them and received a CD and user's guide (DrawPlus X2 (mostly vector drawing) and PhotoPlus X2, the latest version of PhotoPlus) shipped from the UK.

 

PhotoPlus in general is not quite a powerful as Photoshop, but considering the price (free or $9.99) it's a nice way to learn graphic editing because it has some nifty tools that Photoshop doesn't have and some of the tools work better than Photoshop, I think. Not as many filter effects or as much individual control over things, but I liked PhotoPlus 8 which probably isn't a whole lot different than 6.

cool, thankyou

[CelineRox]

so I downloaded it and it didn't work, it kept saying I had to register and I did, like 3 times but still nothing

[wolfepaw]

Did you contact Customer Support about it? Since it's offered free, you should be able to get some info from them. Is there an FAQ page about it? Also, check with Soloni from this forum. She downloaded and has been using it. She might tell you her experience with it.

[wolfepaw]

I just downloaded, installed, and registered it, and it opened for me, so I'm not quite sure what is going on. Did you check your email for the registration number. Did you get some kind of error message? Just curious as to what might have happened when you entered the registration number.

[CelineRox]

I don't know what happened. Yes I did check e-mail for code - which I typed in and it said it was now unlocked and ready to use but when I clicked on something it did nothing - almost as if it was still 'locked'???!

Celine Rox - what operating system are you running on your computer? Is is Windows and, if so, is it XP or Vista? I am running XP. Or are you using a MAC? Did you check the computer requirements for the program before you installed it and did you have the necessary requirements (RAM, CPU speed, HDD space, etc)?
