Awwwww... your so nice! You're a true signature maker too! I always thought that something is a little wrong with my signature. I'm going to go look at signatures you make! :D

[Owen Macwere]

wow, it is a very nice sig, it holds emotions i love the golden clour, great work, keep up. also the size is very nice. :)

[Laugh at face of Danger]

Well... is that suppose to be a bad thing? :)

[Clone 01]

good sigs but i think u should continue with more brushed detailed backgrounds like ur reno and yuna-lenne one.not that the blury ones are bad,they are good,but u need to vary ur sigs a bit other then just having the blury effect over and over again!try be a bit more creative with them.but i do still think u did well with them.

[4evarisha]

The Yuna-Lenne one is so beautiful:)

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

Well.. I guess so.. I'm not all that good with sigs. so yeah..

[Owen Macwere]

No you are not, not good with sigs, you are very good with sigs. :)
but well, try to make new styles, play around.
once more, the kadaj one is amazing, I don't like Kadaj a bet, but that sig was really something.

[Clone 01]

yeah the kadaj one was pretty sweet!how do u make the image move?

[4evarisha]

I think she use a program:)

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

yeah the kadaj one was pretty sweet!how do u make the image move?

Well... it depends if you have the program... Jasc Animation Shop Pro. :) so yeah... here is another banner I made... it was suppose to be for *~Dagger Trepe~*

Oh okay. I guess so... but then my program kb is always high... so I don't know what to do... because unless I have to resize my banner but it's really ugly when I have to use a small size... because it's only 300x100... so I don't know what do you have to say abut that :)

[Leeza]

Your files are png and those are huge. If you are using Jasc, then you can go to File>Export>JPG Optimizer> and then compress the filesize in jpg form so that it is below 50 kb. Resizing the pixels doesn't do too much to the kbs.

Not sure about animations, but most of those files are to large for this site regardless of how you save them.

[ShunNakamura]

If you can bear having itty bitty sigs you can use pngs. You need to have it about 80tall by 200wide if I recall for it fit in png format. Also when using png-24 you can save it without transparancy(if you aren't realy making use of it, to cut down on a couple kb), in addition turning of interlace mode will save you few kb.

Gif's are your best bet for animations(to my knowledge), they are fairly small and support animation.


Anyways I would personally advise to continue using png, they have the best graphic power of the web type of image files. they support 24 bit transparncy/shadow, better color depth and distinction, etc. And many forums I go to aren't so strict on sig size(closer to 100-150kb size limit). In fact many of them have threads advising the use of png's. They are suppior in all but file size. And even then png-8 can beat gif's filesize(and to my knowledge they are very similar in capabilites).

Anyways TiDUS.AHOLiC tell us what you use, and I can tell you how to try to get the files within the limit. However, what it will come down to is you will have to tell when the effects you are using need png or if they can handle the weaker formats as thier storage.

[Cybele]

If you have the right program, .png looks no different (at least, most people can't tell the difference if there is much of any) from .jpg and .jpg is usually smaller in file size. The only time .jpg really looks horrible is if you use less than 60 quality or if you're saving it in paint. So I would recommend that you use .jpg. .gif isn't good to use unless you're doing something animated (.gif is the only file type that supports animation that I know of) as otherwise, it'll come out all dotty. If you're using photoshop, you can go to file>save for web and that'll significantly reduce the file size without losing quality. With the dimensions of the sigs you usually post here, you could probably save it as a .jpg with 80 quality and have it come out under the limit.

[ShunNakamura]

Well in photoshop you 'can' tell the difference between png and jpeg. I know cause I stopped using jpeg for that very reason unless I am not using anything that benifits from png.

If you make use of shadows, glows, transparancy, etc PNG absolutely mows down the competition.

Sharp edges and text is also better handled by png.

Just about the only thing that out performs PNG is GIF when it comes to animation and JPEG when it comes to the final save of photographic data(which is what JPEG is made for last I heard).

Therefore if you make heavy use of shadows, glows, transparancy and those sort of special affects PNG can make a very obvious difference(I noticed it purely cause I use those effects alot, then I researched it and found out why.... PNG is best for anything that isn't a photograph in nature).

So that is the question. If you make heavy use of the affects above listed as being PNG's specialty you likely just want to aim for smaller images using png. If you don't use those effects heavily then likely the difference will be small to nothing so using a smaller format would be wise(as long as it is a high quality jpeg).

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

Oh okay. But then like my banner is smooth... so if I turn it into JPG. it's going to make the surface or the image look real bad... so yeah... can anyone help out? :)

[Owen Macwere]

Look here. do sigs as you like them, work hard and try to stick to the rules.
your sigs are great because the resymbole you no one else... keep going...

[ShunNakamura]

Oh okay. But then like my banner is smooth... so if I turn it into JPG. it's going to make the surface or the image look real bad... so yeah... can anyone help out? :)


Well It does depend, do you use Photoshop? In the save for web option under file you can view side by side how it looks under different settings before you save. If you do this you can tell if jpeg will actually make a difference or not. Sometimes it will others it won't. You use a bunch of dreamy effects and since those are the type of effects I can usually see a diference, that is why in my personal opinion for you to use png with smaller images. Many times I can get a PNG in the file size limits at a size of 80-ish tall by 300-ish wide, with interlacing turned off. About 45kb or less on average.

But yeah you best bet is to look at them in comparison of one another. It may not, despite my guesses, be noticeble with your type of sig making. You just need to play around and learn when a jpg works better then a png and vice versa.

I suggest making a bunch of different ones how you usually do and saving them as both a png and a jpg and comparing them. Perhaps even posting a few up here and asking if we notice any difference etc...

[Cybele]

Oh okay. But then like my banner is smooth... so if I turn it into JPG. it's going to make the surface or the image look real bad... so yeah... can anyone help out? :)

It won't make the surface bad. The worst it'll be is a little blurry. Here, I've taken that first you sig posted and saved as a .jpg in photoshop. The first is your original .png, the second is the one I resaved. Honestly, I don't see that much of a difference between the two. The second one might be a TINY bit lighter, but that's nothing that you can't fix with an extra soft light layer/curves/levels/contrast adjustment or a smart sharpen (if you have CS2, this filter will make it have deeper shadows when used properly).

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/5927/srsjy02eh1.jpg

[ShunNakamura]

The biggest difference that I see is the text(to be expected, JPEG's aren't famous for thier excelent text handling). And some of the shades and shadows seem different though part of that may be how my lcd monitor is tilted(doubt it though cause it doesn't look that way if I just view two of the same at the same spots on the screen).

Anyways I have played around with a few of your earlier ones as well, and it appears that however you do the dreamy effect it doesn't utilize the features that png has over jpeg(or at least not enough to make a big difference).

Oh! Thanks you so much! I will save mines as JPG. okay? Thanks alot for your help!:)

[Owen Macwere]

Yes well, JPG are alot smaller, but their quality are not that good, unless you use very high quality renders in them.
anyway good luck, and I can't wait to see more of your work... :)

[atlanteay]

also, if your PNG sigs are very close to 50 kb, say like 53 KB, you can use png gauntlet or pngcrush to compress the png a little so it'll be smaller and no quality loss. Sometimes it doesn't compress very much so pick the sigs closest to 50kb to compress.

Your sigs are very pretty. So dreamy.

[4evarisha]

I think Tidus.Aholic sigs are awesome it is amazing:)

[Leeza]

I asked you to follow the sig restrictions if you are using your sigs on this site. Your current sig is way over the kb limits so I will be removing it.

[Thorn]

Yes well, JPG are alot smaller, but their quality are not that good, unless you use very high quality renders in them.
anyway good luck, and I can't wait to see more of your work... :)

So would I, but the last 20 or so posts were sig-less.

[Owen Macwere]

Yeah, when would you be postin more Tidus?. :)

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

Probably soon.

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

Here's my latest banner... not so nice so I don't mind if you guys didn't like it, since I didn't put much effort in it. Lol. So yeah:)

I think it is really nice, very bright and cuty, good work. ;)

[Chloe.]

Wow thats really nice^^ Very cute and bright^^ Well done :up:

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

Thanks alot! ^^ But I'm not so good with these kinda cartoons shape, I probably might use anime. But yeah... I hope you guys think it's okay:)

[Leen-Leen]

You didn't put too much effort into it?! It still looks very nice! The colors are really nice together, and I like that sort of "glow" it has in it.

[Ramza Beoulve]

I really like them, but some of the color of the fonts in the first one don't match with the images and some words looks pixelated.

Great Work!!!!! :D

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

thanks.but hopefully it doesn't look that bad:[[

[Ki Ki]

No way I think they're beautiful!
If the second one had more curly/pretty font it would look even better!
I really like the first one though. Those are the kind of girls people want to marry! :kaolove2:

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

Hahha..thanks Ki Ki...for the compliments..it was just that i didn't have pretty fonts that's why it's not so nice.Because i was going to make it curly for the second one..but no pretty fonts so yeahs.And yeahs the brides are gergeous!!:]]

[Leeza]

I like your new artwork. The colours in the second are a bit too bright for my liking though.

I have merged your new thread with your old one as you are allowed only one thread for your artwork/sigs/etc.

[Owen Macwere]

I like these very much, but the second is too bright, yet, it matchs with its theme. Some of the text is pixiled but it still looks unique. Nice job. :up:

[4evarisha]

I love it.Very soft and dreamy.The picture and text matches with the backgrounds:)

[TiDUS.AHOLiC]

thanks alot:]] i was thinking to post more up:]]

[LenneGal]

Oh my gosh they are all so pretty your creativity with the colors really help your pics.You should have join the comp you are a great sig maker:)!
