Hello Dragonson I made a test here but it's unfinished cuz the white background can you show to how make it transparent?

My test signature

 

[Dragonson]

Firstly: The image background is transparent in the editing program right?
It's when you save it it gets all white?

 

[kevv2]

why is there a Muk and an onix on there ;O

 

[Dromlexer]

I'm using the Docment and Paint here

 

[Dragonson]

You're using paint? :S
Well... I have to say, i really reccomend finding a freeware image editing program.
There's a free one that should be pretty good.
Called "the gimp" or something.

'cuz i really don't think i will be able to help you much if you're using paint. :S

 

[Dromlexer]

I will test it when I got time to do it (imporve too)

 

[Dragonson]

Coolio.

Tell me if you need further advice, though my main field of knowledge is photoshopping.

Dragonson, there is something I have been thinking about.
Currently your thread lacks rules and thus results in a very long waiting list.
I know it is up to you, but I suggest adding a few rules. I suggest rules something along the lines with this:

• You must have atleast 25 rep
• You must have been a member of hive workshop for atleast 5 months

This is just my opinion, but if you spend time making a signature to someone you would want it to be shown (atleast I would want it to be shown). Its more likely to happen if its a signature to a active hive member rather then a brand new user.

That's my two cents.

 

[Dragonson]

Something similiar HAS been on my mind.
Though i'm not sure i'l actually do it.

I started out wanting to help all the people that couldn't make themselves an awesome sig out.
So i think i'l keep doing that.

I have though just made a rule that prevents me from making sigs for people that aren't there.
Check up on the thread to find out.

Most people don't give out +Rep very often if something doesn't apply directly to them. Most of the people with 25 rep or higher can make their own Signatures, as they are the ones with experience skinning/modeling/"icon-ing", etc. I have a total of 8 REP and I've been around for a while. I help whenever I can, but most of the time somebody else already answered a persons question/questions. I check the World Editor Help Zone several times a day, and answer as many questions as I can. If you stop making signatures/avatars for everyone, rather than a select group (ex. as specified by Zspider) you will rarely ever get a request.

Sorry for the speech. No offense intented and I apologize if I have offended anyone.

Dragonson, I like your idea.
The program mentioned is called Gimp, the latest version is 2.6, and visit the following link for the download.

[Dragonson]

No problem with the speech.
You weren't rude in any way, you were just stating your opinion.
That's neither against Bladetitan nor Hive rules.

I will though say, on the account of Rep, that there's quite alot of people with +25 rep that can't make themselves a really cool siggy.
You'd be surprised.

Also, i pretty much got all my rep up until my two first greens simply by hanging around, RPing and helping people with ideas for their maps and such.
Infact, if you do not have any particular skills such as terraning or iconmaking, then Activity = Rep.

 

[Dromlexer]

Okay! Dragonson, I made a logo for your Signature Factory.
But there's a problem... I can't save it to other file-format as like JPEG,PNG,GIF and etc it recover only back to XTC-format.
How should I do?

This is a test:

Test Pictureshot

 

[Dragonson]

Well, we kinda' allready have a logo, and Midnighters' working on one for the Social group.
But it is a nice one you've made.
Practice abit and you might be able to join.

I am though not sure how to convert to PNG without photoshop.
You might wanna try and find a "PNG Converter" on google.

 

[Dromlexer]

I got the Photoshop and then ...
Uyeahhhhhh!!! Got it!

Logo

I removed the old background and I got a lucky luck: Saved the Background after I resized it (it was a transparent version now)
Phew!

Tips: Maybe you could make it as a optional logo. =P

 

[Dragonson]

We'l see. Anyways, i repped you for it.
Shame you turned rep off.

 

[Dromlexer]

Shame you turned rep off.

Saw it in CP =P

 

[Dromlexer]

Made a test signature with the Gimp, Photoshop and 62-bit Wowmodelviewer.

Akama

 

[Dragonson]

You're getting better.
Though, i'd say the text needs more flow, and maybe akama needs to have some kind of image or background behind him.

 

[Dromlexer]

The Signature file was lost, but I made a Halloween-related signature with only pumpkins which I made in Spore and used them in the Gimp.

Pumpkinsss!!!

 

[OrangeAngel]

All i can say is thats a big signature 0.o

 

[jokerman10000]

hey
that is my first signature
pls say whether it is bad or acceptable :-D

first one..

 

[Dragonson]

Well, it's good, but not brilliant.
Practice abit more and try working with transparency.

 

[jokerman10000]

mhh i will see
at the moment i try to make a banner when i am ready with trying that i try to make a better one of that one above

test

better?

 

[jokerman10000]

can anyone give comments to my photshop works and signatures in my profile? would be nice :-D

 

[Dromlexer]

Maybe you should improve the back ground by smoothing the edges. I didn't mind which tool it was. but it will transfroms to a smoothing tone from colour to transpent (or white if there are a background layer more).
