A Rough guide to Sig Creation

Step 8- Saving and using your sig
It is recommended that you save the final sig as a Paint Shop Pro .pspimage or a Photoshop .PSD format picture. This saves all the layer and effect information so that, in time, you will be able to reload the image and edit or modify it. This can be done from the File drop down menu and selecting 'Save As'

To use the sig, you will need to merge all the layers to form a single graphic. To do this, right click on any of the active layer windows and select 'Merge' and ''Merge All (Flatten) from the resulting menu.


The sig can now be saved as a JPEG. It is best to keep size as small as possible which is why we used a resolution of 72 pixels per inch during the making of the sig.

After selecting 'File' and 'Save As', you are able to set the file type to JPEG (.JPG) and the software saves the file.

If you want to see how big the file will be, select the 'Image' drop down menu and select 'Image Information'. That should give you a dialogue box like the one below.

As we can see, the sig is within forum dimensions and memory size regulations.

Once saved, you can upload to your hosting area and use it as you see fit.
Enjoy.
