Uploading images, and adding a picture to your signature

thankies....but still, my kingdom for photoshop! This was done with a google picture and the text boxes on MSPaint XDDDD

thanks anyhow X3

I'm having some trouble too. I made a banner in photoshop that I want to put in my sig, but it's saying it's too large. The original file is 55.1kb, and I can save it smaller but I can only get it down to about 23kb, and it looses the quality of the pic, and that's still over the 2kb limit. The actual size of the pic is only 404 by 151, which is within the restrictions. So my question is, how can I make it small enough that I can add it to my sig without affecting the quality of the picture. Is that even possible?

PM it to me Heather, I am not sure why its having a problem but I've never been greatly pleased by the process.

I'll get it in there though. :couple:

Thanks Matt, it's on it's way.

Sometimes the format of the picture makes it a larger file size. You can change the format by "saving as" and convert say a GIf image to a JPEG and it very well be a much smaller file size.

The advantage of JPEG is that it can carry a smaller file size than GIF when used in storing photographs and images with a wide variety of shading.

Here are two images as examples. The first is a GIF and is 2.58 KB. The second is the same image as a Jpeg and is 1.62 KB.

yep, I saved it as a jpeg, but it was still quite big for some reason

We will let Matt have a try at it since you have PM'd it to him.

Should be good to go now Heather. :nana:

Fantastic, thanks Matt!

*snickers*

I have made a banner on PS, it 200x500 but bigger than 2k and i cant get it to show, I keep getting the error message.

I can host it so don't need you to host it, but do I need to make it 2k, coz I tried and its impossible - please help :orely:

The note says: The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 100 pixels or 2.0 KB (whichever is smaller).
So it doesn't have to be both, the problem must be somwhere else I think...

Argh - has it changed to 500x100, I only read the first post to see what size I was allowed! :blush:

Talk to Matt, he might be able to get it up for you. I've had trouble with them in the past too.

You could send me a PM and as long as it fits guidelines, I'll throw it in there for you.

One PM has been sent - my very first :D

Thanks

There you go, its a beautiful picture.

Wow you is fast!

Thank you so much :D

Nice, I like it.

Thank you :)

Very nice!

I think you have to have 5 posts before you can go in under User CP to edit your avatar and signature. I think.

as always, you are correct madame. :D

To battle SPAM (which I am sure you are not) we had to set a 5 post minimum to use the bells and whistles.

Feel free to go and introduce yourself and stuff like that, you'll be there before you know it. :thumbsup:

And this will probably be merged into a thread in The Dogan before too long.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome. The question was answered for you by others. I am going to merge this into the Q&A section in the tech area with a 1 day redirect.
Hope to see you on the boards.:)
