SodScrap Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! I missed the chat! I set my alarm on my phone so I would remember. I made a cup of coffee and set back down at my desk and went to the chat room...but it wouldn't load. I REALLY shouldn't have been chatting because I'm at work...but I was going to sneak in...I need a new siggy!! I took it as a sign that I was supposed to work instead of chat. Looks like a fun challenge...I will see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Here's my siggy. Still doesn't look as big as previous ones that I did. Don't know what is wrong. I followed the directions, but...... My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Here's my siggy. Still doesn't look as big as previous ones that I did. Don't know what is wrong. I followed the directions, but...... My link Hi Carol, first, when you start to create, do you use a 3x3 (or 4x4) inch transparent document at 300 dpi and fill the space with your elements? I use 3x3 and I make sure the items pretty much fill up the space. Next, go to Image>Resize>Image Size. Change the resolution first to 72 pixels/inch. Then under pixel dimensions in the top section of the box change the width to 225 pixels (the height should automatically change to 225 pixels when you change the width) Just be sure you are changing the pixel dimensions in the top section of the box and and not the document size in the bottom section. Then save as a png file. I've always used this link as my reference and it always works for me: Signature Graphic HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet when I look at other SGs siggies their size is 76.64kb, 40.29kb and mine is 23.67kb. I guess I'll just be happy with what I've got. Thanks!

Both myself and April have put a note on your siggy in the gallery. We think you need to crop your image to get rid of the spare space before you resize it. You only want a very small border of white space around your image. This may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
