Good-tutorials.com is a great place to find tutorials for Photoshop, and pixel2life.com is really good too, although P2L focuses more on a wider range of graphics programs. @Saint Mike -- Keep reading those tuts man, you'll get better and better.

The background is bland (and too dark), and the lines could go (or be a little smaller). Other than that, it's okay, I s'pose.

Looks pretty good, but the red could be a little less "watered down" and the text needs lots of work. You can barely see it, and the color's kinda off...

Needs work.

Wow, I usually don't mind people leaving for their own seperate reasons, but, thablkpanda, you sound REAAAAAALLY arrogant, with false intellect masking it. It seems like you try to use eloquence to make it seem like you're above our level.I mean, yeah, sure, whatever floats your boat dude. If you think the missing "human link" is THAT much of a problem that you have to leave, so be it. I just don't quite like the way you're flaming other members, and spouting about how T17 isn't a good place for hosting. If you don't like it, please, don't even bother posting about how much you dislike the service, just leave. By posting that, you've sent the meteor crashing down that created this "crater" you speak of. You've said in better words that you don't like T17, and that somehow it's not up to your standards, and that you're leaving. Big whoop. Don't bother telling us, k?I understand life issues may get in the way (I personally have a new girl in my life that's flipping everything upside down, and I'm trying to juggle that in with all my other responsibilites) but if you can't take the time to make 5, 10 posts every now and then, I don't think you really need to be here anyway. I can make about 20 posts within the next 5 minutes if I really wanted to, and I could do it with general ease. I think what your problem is is that you got used to the lazy human-based hosting system, and you're not willing to go the extra yard to work for the automated one. If you have your own webserver, good for you. Go for it.So please, if you're gonna go, just go. Don't bother talking down on T17, or it's members, or you're just going to get yourself removed, which you may want, but you'll be removed permanently.And like Tyssen said -- Standing on a "moral platform" and using the "I've been here longer, so I'm better" card just proves your arrogance. He's probably a lot wiser than you give him credit for. +rep to you Tyssen.

No, there's no real set sig sizes. It's usually between 300-450 in width and 100-150 in heigth though, as anything smaller than 300x100 is kinda small to be a sig, and anything bigger than 450x150 is a little too much on the large side. My size of choice is 400x100, as it gives me enough room to work with, but isn't so big that it annoys people. Of course, some people use special sized sigs, like tower (vertical) sigs, stripe sigs (like the "Firefox User" ones), or multi-part sigs (one big sig split into 2 or 3 pieces). There's also pop-out sigs and different shapes (circles, trapezoids, etc.)

Continued from last post.

New ones. I'm sure you can probably notice which ones I made at 2 in the morning before I went to sleep. EDIT: Have to post some in another post. Image limits, bah.

Thanks MHfestaz http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ New ones. Haven't been spending as much time in C4D as usual. That last one was just a testy thing.

Well, someone shouldn't be using just a 10GB hard drive. That's way too small... Also, it's not difficult to understand if you take each feature one step at a time. Tutorials help, believe me.

Well, I can't say I have a favorite brushset, because I have such a wide range for all the different sigs I do. I would probably say JASHIN makes some good brushes. I usually just take random ones that look good from DA.

The trial version is definitely the same as the real version, and during setup it should give you the option of entering a serial...

Thanks. Some new ones: Not my best, for sure, but I like The first, fourth, and fifth ones. I think slowing down sig production made me kinda rusty. But hey, when a totally amazing girl comes into your life, forum sigs drop down on the priority list. ^-^

I have one in the how to's and tutorials section, and you can find a bajillion on pixel2life or good-tutorials. Hrm...dunno, never used PhotoImpact... Yeah, the colors seem to meld well, I think.

I sure hope you have a wallpaper size version of those, because that size probably wouldn't look too great on your girlfriend's desktop. I'd say the second one's better, but still needs improvement. I'm sure Cool Freaker will be along sometime to elaborate.

Photoshop for my 2d stuff, Cinema 4d for my 3d stuff, basically.

Rebooting is the same as restarting. I think you mean reformatting. Anyway, you can enter "regedt32" in the Run command box under the Start menu (assuming you have windows). I also have Photoshop CS and when the trial ended for me, I had the same problem. Couldn't figure out where to put the serial. Eventually I just got PSCS again, and it gives the option of entering the serial during installation, that's the only way I know of so far.

Cool Freaker has great advice on most graphics projects, and on this one he pretty much said everything I would, and more, so I'll just agree with him.You're off to a good start though. You have the right idea. Keep heading in the same direction.

Sorry, I hate having too many responsibilities, and right now, between my own graphics projects, T17, IPBGaming, and RendersDesign, plus school, relationship, all that good stuff, I have a lot of that on my plate right now. Maybe later, but not at the moment. I might feel interested in making a sig or two per request, but I just can't staff up another place right now. Sorry.Thanks for the props Nguyen.

Absolutely. The more you do a certain element of a sig, the better you get at it, and the quicker you can do it. You also start to see how things are going to turn out, even before you apply a certain element.

Yeah, much better than your earlier ones. Use the second one (you should never EVER use a sig as big as the first one, I usually use 400x100), just stick a border on it and it should look good. A simple 1 or 3 px border would be fine.

Text needs lots of work. Sig could use a background.

Actually, you can't technically LEARN photoshop from P2L, you can just learn different techniques, methods, and styles basically. But, it is useful, and I already suggested it. X.x

Sorry Saint Mike. It's bad. Try again.

That's funny, because I don't ever use the pen tool or actions.
