Alt... Dont put renders in your sigs? Sorry but all this pixel JUNK that is floating around this board is a slap in the face to those of us who are real artists. Sorry if most nooby PS users just download a random render off of DeviantArt and crop and add text...but those of us who do make our own renders, use our own work, edit our own photography, and actually use RENDERS in our sigs shouldn't get flamed on because we dont conform to this pixelated attempt to show creativity. Sorry but this pixel crap has got to go As far as size limit goes, in Photoshop use the "Save for Web" feature not the "Save As" selection. In "Save for Web", you can select different detailed versions of the main formats of images [PNG, JPEG, GIF] USPOLO; a good idea and direction for you to head in can be found at many tutorial sites. Many give good ideas to backgrounds to use for sigs, links to sites that you can download brushes at, you can download many new and interesting fonts [www.1001fonts.com or www.acidfonts.com] and you may even want to crop the size of your sigs to a more, "selective", size such as 300w-by-100h or smaller. Remember, larger is not always better. C4
