oh thnx leeza!! tyvm
Oh right :p
In that case, I point to the gimp for an image editor of sorts, where you can get started :p You're not going to get far making a decent sig using MS Paint :p
so how i down load it then cl_out plz?

use photobucket to host it
You might notice the word "gimp" in my previous post is a link for you to download it :p
lol i use paint 4 al mye sigs n they r fyne imho
The basics of sig making is:
take an image.
prettify it
add text
save
upload.
when you have these steps down, you can start to play with multiple images and layer modes.
But my question is how to fade and feather and all of those things cuz i have no idea
you have to have a program like photoshop (that's what i use...) it's pretty expensive if you were to buy it. but most people just download it on the internet (i have never done that, so i don't know how)Quote:

but if you use paint, your results wont turn out good at all... so i suggest you find a good program! :)
edit: how do you download gimp?
The basics of blending. ^^ I wrote this a long time ago though, just edited it a bit. Let me know if you have any questions.

Open photoshop, then open a new canvas (if you go for a sig, try about 400x150 pixels)
Open your image, go to the selection tool (the square thing in the upper left hand corner)
Then you should see a box that says feather toward the top and 0 px inside the feathering box. Put in an amount (I usually use about 30) and select the part of the image you want. The dotted square should turn into a circle like shape. Then go to edit, cut, and paste it onto your empty canvas. The edges should be faded. You can do that with multiple images and place them on the same canvas and they'll look blended together.
Use the move tool (the arrow with the 4 mini arrows attached to it next to the selection tool) to move particular images around to your liking. Select different layers to edit particular images on the canvas.
