No problem.  I learned how to use Photoshop by making sig images for myself and others over on HN, and I make a point to try something different every time I make a new one, so I can keep learning new stuff.  Photoshop is a pretty cool program, but there is no end to stuff you can learn about it.  I find new things every time I open it up, even if it's just to make something simple...

Could you make me a nice signature image, Demo? I'd appreciate it. :D

I tried to mess around with PShop but it was too hard to learn. Everything seemed profoundly unintuitive...

Ah, well, that's the way it goes with the really powerful programs. I use Metroworks Codewarrior to program Java and that turned me off to the whole language by its obtusity at first.

Please Demo? Pretty please?

Since Demo and I are such good friends I think it only fair that he make me a sig first  :wink:  Anyways I got photoshop recently and am strugling with the writing part of the sig. Cropping a pic is easy enough but I can only get standard writing ( Veranda and stuff ) and this looks outta place on the pic. any suggestions on how to change this?

Thanks

First off, I'd suggest not hosting your image with Tripod, Angelfire or Geocities.

For me it was.  I stare at a PC all day and my eyes are pretty sensitive.  I avoid bright and shiny websites like the plague.
