Help

[BroncosAllDaWay]

I made my first sig and i was wondering how i get it from photoshop to VG. If you know please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

[kcchiefsno1]

well im not sure how far you got but after its ssaved in jpg or gif format you need to find somewhere to host them I use imageshack, then upload them on there get the url then post it with the insert image link.

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Ok thanks, but i went to image shack and it says bad file type when i try to upload it.

[Warbuck$]

What is the extension you're trying to save as? .psd? If so, I believe that's photoshop's source file. Make sure you save it as (or export in some cases) .jpg, gif, png or something like that.

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Oh ok thanks I'll try and find out how to do that haha.

[BroncosAllDaWay]

danm dude that looks siick. i really like it.

[kcchiefsno1]

The Guererro one is nice. the Lakers one has to much opacity to me............nothing catches my eye in it. But I really like the second one, keep up the good work.

[kcchiefsno1]

Well I take back that last statement.....after looking at the Kobe one more closely it looks like you just put that lakers logo in front of it......it seems like the behind images lose color thats why I dont do that. I havent figured out how to effectively edit colors.

[Bearfanmike20]

The lakers one... eh... you need to have a focal point.

The second one... very nice for your second sig.

Keep working.. the more you play around... the more you will learn... Some of the best affects I learned by accident.

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Thanks alot for all your suggestions and help guys.

Yeah I was thinking this to but i never came up with anything, I'll change it up a little bit.

One more thing, YOUR SIG IS SO TIGHT. Thats probably one of the best I've seen.

Thanks. :D I'm very proud of it.. but it can be better.. I still have work to do... still perfecting.... always.... LOL

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Lol wow it looks about perfect to me.
How did you get that snow in there?

Its very simple... its all about the layers...

you use a simple brush on its own layer... make sure its on soft...

then you just move the layer to create snow... everytime you move the layer... merge them and copy it as a new layer in the real sig... each layer is a frame... then depending on what program you use... you would probably be in image ready.... you go to image ready and save it as an animated gif... thats it...

the hard part is getting it to flow seamlessly... took me a while to figure that part out.

Sweet, thanks man. Last thing, im having trouble cutting out players from a picture. When i do it theres always something that doesnt look right. You got any tips on how to do it good?

Sure.. use large photos.. and zoom in to about 300 to 400 %... that always helps.... be patient too.

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Ok thanks. Sometimes i can be a little impatient with these things haha.:D

Thats a big key.. you have to be almost obsessive....

The littlest details make all the difference.

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Yeah good point.

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Hey bearfanmike, what size is your sig?

[Bearfanmike20]

Hey bearfanmike, what size is your sig?
400 x 150

thats my default size. ;)

[BroncosAllDaWay]

Ok cool I might make mine like that i like that size. I was doing 400X100. Lol not much of a difference.

[Try2win1]
