BROKEN CRESCENT: Signatures and Advertising

It's 114KB but THAT is AWESOME !

I love it ! That's exactly what I wanted to achieve.
BTW Can I pass that around ? i.e everyone is free to use these sigs right ?
Are you using CS3 ?

Yeah you can use whatever you want. Maybe you should keep your sig since SirPaladin made it for you. You can use this one later. Up to you. Sorry bout the size, I trust its not too hard to resize?

That looks great but it could use a border in my opinion.

Good point.

[iudas]

I advise you not to use a gradient on the border, and not to overuse filters. But that sig looks pretty good.

[Sinan]

I'm using Paladin's sig, but I want to improve my own. How do you resize that image to less than 10kb using CS3 ? It looks much better with the border btw.

One for the daylami fans.

[iudas]

Great looking sig! A big unclear, and the text has room for improvements, but otherwise it's good!

Once this mod is released I'll be sure to make some shots of charging infantry or cavalry being pelted by arrows or the like: I get a kick out of seeing a man pitched from his horse or, oddly, as in RTW, a guy doing a backflip as he is hit by an arrow while charging (thats dubious physics right there... )

[Miraj]

Not that great. But I had it on my drive so might as well.

[Sinan]

Nice detail, classy. I love it.

Hi Peoples of the Broken Crescent. Hope you're enjoying this shining lovely spring day. Well that's how it is in the WEST anyway ! ;P

Look I need someone to tell me how to reduce some of these sigs to less than 10KB using Photoshop. I tried using minimum quality, and max compression but I can't get most of them less than 20KB, and then they look terrible. Is there another compression method.

Before this I was using Paintshop from 2002, and that had a custom compression function which allowed me to get sigs below 10KB and they look so-so. Naturally at 10KB it's hard to make them look good. I want to use these on .org but can't if they are above 10KB (stupid size rule).

Any help much appreciated.

[iudas]

Thanks for changing the title to a more professional one to whoever did it.

[Sinan]

Is it ok if I ask those questions in this thread ? I don't mean to intrude or anything, so let me know if I am.

BTW never mind the resize question. I got that sorted. You have to use "save for web" from the file menu in Photoshop. You can also see 4 different previews and sizes from that, for anyone, like me who does'nt know.

happy to help at least in advertising

[Qarama]

what do you guys think about my new sig?

[Sinan]

I like it. +rep

Here's one I made for myself for the www.totalwar.org forum, using AD's example.
Since the one I use here does not fit the orgs sig rules. BTW What are the rules for sig limits here, if any ?



Qarama please can you tell me how do you add a border in Photoshop ?
I have a recommendation for you kardes, if you make it clickable (with a link to Broken Crescent forum or screenshots) I think it will be perfect.

hmmm my photoshop is in german i don't know the english words i mean the way how you get to that part where you can add the border.

--Dupliziere das bild danach klicke in dem kleinen "Ebene" fenster das Duplikat mit der rechten taste an wähle dann "Fülloptionen" und in dem neuen fenster kannst du dann ganz unten "kontur" anklicken und danach Füllmethode innen wählen. Bei größe kannst du die dicke der kontur wählen sie wird in pixel angezeigt ausserdem kannst du die farbe wählen--

sorry for the non german speakers here

btw. i'll try to add a link to the picture thanks for the idea.

[Miraj]

[Strelac]
