You need to make the background transparent and save the image as a .gif or .png.

[This is basically it.]

Thanks... I wish you could save it as JPG.

[Her Majesty's Agent Umaro]

No, you don't, else you wouldn't have a transparency, so it's a .gif or .png. Those are wonderful formats, especially when you're only doing signature work. .jpg should only really be used for large images, like wallpapers, photos, drawings, and the like where a little loss and bleeding isn't so bad. It's a very lossy format which with large filesizes.

Besides, it's good to branch out and familiarize yourself with different formats so you can learn how to best save your work and reap the maximum benefit. Cheers.

How do you take out the color in a picture? I have the picture done, but i want it to be in black and white.

simple enough. do this;
Image> mode> grayscale
that is if your whole image is one layer.

I just took it upon my self to make a tutorial on how to make curved edges Heres how. Oh and this is for Photoshop! Probably translatable but im not sure how, sorry :

So, you see this button?



You click on it and select the one that is a 'Rectangular Marquee'

So next you open a new canvas. I always open mine to 333x155



Next you select the part you want as edged like this:



If you want it transparent, you just delete the backround and your done! This is the end result



Hope its useful for someone Heres one of my results:



Ill probably make a tutorial later how to make that sig Later!
