Sig Limits

Is it possible to raise the sig upload size limit from 30kb to an extra 5 or 10kb? Trying to save under 30kb hurts the quality for sigs with plenty of layers and effects etc. and ends up not even worth making.

I Think we should keep sig limits the way they are. That way it doesn't bogg down my computer when ever I load a page. I guess the Sig limit is there for that exact reason. And you are saving your files as gifs, try saving them as Jpeg's. It helps a lot.

Actually, the server renames them as GIFs, I asked Raz about that a while ago. They're still JPEGs.

And if you use Save For Web in Photoshop, it's easy to save them under the limits and still high quality.

There should be no problem saving a sig at under 30k.

Just make sure you have the settings optimized in your program.

The only negative for the 30k limit...I'd like some animation in my signatures and it limits what you can do really.

Yeah, that and transparencies.

Save for Web eh?

To get mine under 30kb, I usually have to save at half the quality messed

And it ends up almost pixelated..

Play around with the options (number of colors, pattern, interlaced, matte). You can get amazing results with some combinations... wink
