Have you tried downloading GIMP, Taxi? It's free, and while it's not up to par with Paintshop, it's definitely quite a bit better than Paint. I use GIMP cause I'm too cheap to buy anything :) I made my current sig set using GIMP, and if I do say so myself, it's not half bad.

I haven't used GIMP before. I recieved Photoshop from my parents, so I have just always used that. Although, I know that Paint Shop Pro is good and MUCH CHEAPER than Photoshop.

Hmm, I haven't. Where would I do that, Meldawen? I agree about your set, it is VERY good.

*coughluckycough*

No problem :) But yeah, there IS something else out there that doesn't cost a whackload of money, so don't feel compelled to keep using Paint, cause there ARE other possibilies.

I use GIMP because I'm way too cheap to actually pay for something. I like it, it has enough stuff and is decent enough.

I have the latest version of PSP. It wasn't really that expensive, and I love it. A lot. :)

Question!

How do you make it so there's no background, like the white things between the pictures in my sig, how would you make it so those are gone?

I don't think it's possible... you have to find the exact same blue as the background and put it in that spot so it looks like it's transparent.

You make the area transparent, but the image has to be a gif. I would just make seperate images (if you are planning to use avatars).

Hehehe. Guess what I heard today? The funniest Graphic quote ever! Here it is:

Quote:
Graphic's - Anyone can do them, but only true losers can do them perfectly.


Hahaha! I guess I'm not a loser after all! I don't know who said it, but I got an email with abunch of graphic's in them... Hehe, funny.
