Nope, I just need to know what editing program(s) you are using and the classes you are signing up for.

Lesson 1 for editing: Show me what you can do so far.

Lesson 1 for in game pics: Post a picture of a family having a picnic in their backyard. Grades and all future lessons will be posted under Editing and In Game Sets for you

Hi! I know this is for editing...but i really need help, and i think you can answer it! I want to be able to make my own signatures, and for other people. But i am totally lost on how to! Could you teach me how to make normal ones, clickable ones, and animated ones? I would really appreciate your help!

Something cool could be hiding here

No one knows

With normal ones, you want your signature to be 640x150 at least that's the approximate size I use. You can always test them out to see if it will fit the signature line. I also use .png files as well.

For clickable ones, it's mostly the same thing however you want to follow this formula:



Now, both of my signatures are clickable and I have used photobucket. To be able to make it all fit, use notepad and copy and paste from notepad to the signature line under My Preferences by just using the mouse. It seems to only work for me under IE and not Firefox.

Animated signatures are in a .gif format. These aren't something I have attempted too much beyond my own two siggies below.

Photoscape is a great tool that offers effects not just for the photo but for text as well and also allows you to make .gifs. Photoscape is a free download.

I tend to like to start off with a blank siggy that is colored to alpha and go from there by adding what I want to it.

If you have anymore questions please ask. ^.^

Wonderful Picture LE! I love the idea of having the wolf stalk Red Riding hood as she innocently walks through the forest. I love your version of Red Riding Hood and how "sexy" and "sultry" she looks. The red cape and outfit ties into it completely. However, the background could've been done a little bit better. It doesn't have a real "foresty" feel to me. Also, the quality could've been a little bit better.

However, overall, good entry and effort!

Thanks for all the constructive advice. I will take them into consideration whenever I do decide to start an actual competition.

For now, I'll just participate though!

Thanks once again. I really appreciate all the advice and help.
