Ultimate Full Signature Tutorial
« on: April 15, 2007, 12:11:56 PM »
Tutorial written and posted by Koolstr
Gimpdome Staff has taken over maintenance of this topic


WARNING!!! THIS TUTORIAL IS EXTREMELY LONG!!!! 500x10306

Note the white outlines on every image....that is not part of the sig, it is just there so it can stand out more. Because, the signature doesn't stand out too well on black, ya know...

Ultimate Full Signature Tutorial

It was hard to find an uploader that would accept it. (Because of its height) And even this one, the highest that I could find, wouldn't accept its massive size of 5mb. So I used the JPEG, which has a little less quality.  But its still good..

Thanks for sharing! 

Not only is the tutorial long, but you should put a warning about download time.  I have broadband and it took several minutes to see the entire thing.  Once it finally loaded, I realized why....5+ mb.  That's a pretty big image.

Haven't had time to look through it yet, but will a bit later.

Thanks again.

I downloaded the tutorial and saved it as a jpg using 80% quality and the image still looks really good, but at 1.28 mb in size.  You might want to consider converting to a jpg and reducing the quality accordingly.  I'm not trying to discourage you from posting, but I'm afraid at 5 mb, you'll lose a lot of potential viewers. You've spent a long time in preparing it and I would hate to see your efforts and generosity be in vain.

Koolster you already have a larger than normal sig in your sig space so I am thinking you reached your space limit.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

Yes. Thank you.

EDIT--Wait...It still doesn't appear. Did I do something wrong? (with the coding perhaps?)

You're right. I'm going to add an extra link to a smaller-sized version. Thanks. But it is probably only those with broadband, because it seems everyone else and I didn't have a problem loading it. But I'm going to make it anyway.

The reason you're not having problems loading it now is that it resides in your cache and so you're not actually pulling the image from the internet, but your harddrive.  If you were to go into your cache and delete it, you would see see what I mean.  I don't have any problem anymore because the image is now on the harddrive, but the first go 'round was tough.  Thanks for adding the link.

FP, you're definitely one of the best here.  ;) :D :h_star:

Stating the obvious is not necessary!  :P

Hey FP, how did oyu get your Pricemyname to appear? I have mine, put it in the sig, but it doesn't appear?

I just used this: ["img"]http://www.pricemyname.net/fencepost.jpg["/img"]  Obviously, without the quotes around the img tags.
