Raebus's Sigs

[Raebus]

Thanks!

[Raebus]

My first transparent sig, what'cha think?

[~SapphireStar~]

Thats your first go? Its beautiful, some little white, but who cares for a first attempt. It happens all the time. The background is lush and goes well with your image.
Good job

[Raebus]

Hmm, the white? I think it's the border :3 BUT thanks. !

[Owen Macwere]

First try?0_0. it is great, yes that is your border, I see it now that you pointed to it ^^. but it is so great, good work.

[Raebus]

Thanks, it's actually pretty easy. :3

[Owen Macwere]

Yes, it is easy. I like transperancy.
again good work Raebus, it is amazing.

your sigs are cool

For your last signature, the edges seem very jagged and blocky for the hair and the left wisp on the feather. The jaggedness can not really be avoided if you choose to use .gif format, but you can certainly go over the image again and help it not look so blocky so when you apply a border, it is not so obtrusive.

Try .png next time; it will allow not only for transparency, but several opacities as well. It does mean a larger filesize, however.

Thanks for the tip, Majesty. :3

Png doesn't keep transprancy, i tried it. but there's a way to make the edges somoother, layer>merge visible. that helps a little with gif.
good luck raebus ^_~.

[Raebus]

Now it's annoying >_<

Edit: Owen, theres only one layer sooo I suppose I can't merge?

Actually it depends on the png and the program.

I believe you need to save as PNG-24 to get a transparancy. In addition I don't beleive Internet Explorer reads .png's correctly or at least not always. For all around user support and size .gif's are generally the way to go.

Anyways for png's I believe the color Palette has to be 256 in order for IE to display the transparency. However, I may be wrong, I only did some quick google searches. But PNG DOES support transparancy. However, some browsers DON'T fully support PNG.

Now it's annoying >_<

Edit: Owen, theres only one layer sooo I suppose I can't merge?

That would be correct unless Owen is refering to flatten image. I doubt it though cause that always kills my transparancy.

Also as a tip. When I use gif for my transparency I try to smooth it out by gently taking the eraser with a hard edge accross the border(this is after I have saved it as a gif). It takes some time to do it without maring anything. However, it does produce some better results[or for me it did]. So that may be something to try if you are desperate.

[Owen Macwere]

wow, just look at your background it is great.
lt me guess, you make the sig then you delete around it right, that is why there is these white spiks around it.
I use different way so i get clearer edges.
look, make your background in a small canvas then copy it and paste it into an already transperant canvas. that helps better.

Thanks and here it is saved as png 24 (plus, i'm using firefox...sooo it should be better to me *hopes*)

Edit: Nvm -_-
