The really awesome detailed realistic auras some people make?
I hear GIMP or photoshop but i want to start making sigs and learn some more for creativity. For whichever you use, is it easy for someone like me? I learn fast and experiment first.
I checked the similar threads thing and I found stuff on what are recommended programs for making anything in general.
I have the perfect sig for myself but it involves some auras. I won't request one since i'm VERY picky about my stuff.
I found an example but it's not from this site.
Thanks to chezhead for the link.

I've used both but I must say. Photoshop is way better. You get so many more tools, much more user-friendly. Except it's $100 for Ps elements and $300 for Ps CS4, however Gimp is free. So if it's just a hobby go with gimp, it will serve you fine. Now if you think you really like this stuff then go with Photoshop. (At least Photoshop Elements)
They're both free, actually. :arg:Quote:

Edit- It's free? I'll take a look asap. Thanks.
I checked. I looked and it's not free. Only virus sites have the free one or suspicious sites do (maybe). I'll be safe and try GIMP first. Thanks guys.
Edit- I JUST saw noticed the smiley and loled b4 u posted chritmasjew. :)
Look at the smiley I put and you'll get the joke.
Yeah, if you don't have a problem with piracy or have the money on hand, it's best to begin with Photoshop. Otherwise, GIMP is an almost equal program but is free. I use GIMP and can tell you that what you want to do is possible within GIMP.
Yea your right. I made a sig that is probably as good as a pro. Wow i learn faster than i thought. the problem is, A .DLL WAS MISSING AND I NEED TO RE INSTALL!!!! I lost the picture forever......
I made one but it won't show large no matter what demension. It's not my dream sig but it's alright. I could do better but i'd need a lot more time.
Pics or it didn't happen.Quote:

i personally have Photoshop and use that ore than i use GIMP but ye GIMP is free and to start with i would use that
How can I have pics if It's gone :(..... Plus I said probably and I judged based on what I saw on the sig creativity board.Quote:

Photoshop is excellent, but it did take me half a year to understand it fully.
No one on that board is pro though. Pros are way better than you or me could hope to be without many many years of work.Quote:

Adobe Photoshop Elements can be used by any number of people with one disk, so if you know anyone with it, just ask to borrow the disk. You need not the disk to launch it.
But if not, too bad. GET GIMP YOU PENNYPINCHER.
-No hard feelings, right. Right? /headshot,

One more question, how do i make my sigs larger?
easy just select what size you want to use when you are opening a new document
The norm for size is generally 400-500x125-225px
Hope that helped!
