Animations the size of a signature are hard to make and keep a decent file size. I'd suggest using images that have a low color depth (like 256 colors), because this will help with the file size. Also, the more frames you have, the bigger it'll be. Use as few frames as possible to make the animation.

I try with 2 frames and 63 colours and the size is 50kb...

When you save, there's the option box that says "animation quality vs. output size". Try choosing a lower quality on the slider bar, which should give you a smaller file size.

this is what I do...
I lowered it at 63 colours...
but...

Hmmm....

Well, sometimes there's just no way to get an animation down to the right size so that it's usable. I've run into that problem myself, where the image size was huge even though I did all I could to shrink it. Sorry I couldn't help you any more than that.

that's ok!
I will find out someday!! 😛

thanx!

I use photodraw for my sigs, so if anyone needs tips with that I can help

I am trying to make a sig in photodraw for the first time...
I always work in paint shop pro...
can anyone tell me how to cut the image arround to get a transparent background? 😮

how do make font look fade out?

how do you make font that already came wit the pic look faded?

and i use jasc paint shop pro 8.10

i think i no...... first u have to make sure that the font is a seperate layer on the pic so if u right clicked on the font and pressed cut then the font would be the only thing to go away, then u go to the top and click on layers and go down to properties, then go to opacity and put it to about fifty or wutever u think is good..... and i have no idea how to make the font thats came with the pic into layers cause i always paste stuff on the pic so its alredy a new layer.

erm... could you say it in a different way, I'm not quite sure what you mean...

Transparency can be in either Transparency or Soft Edges, Cut is just Cut

oh I mean how can I cut around like the laso tool in paint shop pro and paint...

Hey...can someone please tell me how to create a sig????😕
