The one and only signature creation thread

Okay once you have your finished image go to:

File>>Save for Web...

This opens up an optimisation menu:
Optimise-Dialog.jpg


As you can see there are lots of scarey buttons and such, and obviously your image in the center.

Now, on the right hand side you should see a drop-down box called Preset. Ignore this, to the right of it is a small arrow icon: (>)

Click that and you will get a menu:
Optimise-Menu.jpg


As shown in the picture you will want to click on Optimize to file size...

Once you have clicked that you will get:
Optimise-Size.jpg


Simply enter the value you want. For these forums you will want 20k.. althout I usually put in 19k just to be safe. Click OK and hopefully you wont actually notice anything. However, look in the bottom right of the dialog and you should see something along the lines of:

Optimise-Result.jpg


That is just short of 19k from a size of about 65/66k - with almost no difference in quality.

Now all you need to do is click the Save button and Robert is apparantly your father's brother :)

Hoped this helps and let me know if you have any questions.

Well my recent bike upgrade means I require someone with some artistic flair to create me a new sig, I'd like it to look similar to my old one for the 125 with "600f" somewhere. I would also like the honda badge and some detail from this photo.

Sorry its not much to be going on :)
 
I have noted down people's requests and I shall be getting onto starting some later. I reckon I will have some if not all finished tomorrow.

As I have said earlier I am writing a tutorial for one way of knocking up a signature and this has taken up a bit of time - what with taking screen shots every two minutes and so forth.

Hey lukechad. I was bored this morning and thought I would mess around with some stuff in Photoshop. It isn't as highly polished as I would like it to be, but I was only experimenting.

Completely up to you if you want to use it or not.

And Slinky - second one of yours does look better without the logo :)

Can I get a sig please? Something relatively plain, possibly soprano or FFVII influences, but I can't think of any offhand. Preferably blue/green/purple.
Thanks :)
