Sig pic sizing - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm trying to put a sig pic on in my replies but the pic always comes out way too big and the full picture doesn't come up. What am I doing wrong? I've resized my pics to 320x240 pixels and it's still screwy

700x200 is the max size.

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't 320x240 smaller than 700x200?

I'd guess your getting cut off at the bottom.

It's smaller width wise, but not height. 200 is all the height you can use.

If it were water it would work. lol

You're thinking size of the file. It's talking about physical dimensions.

Smaller in total pixels, but the limits for this board are strict in both height and width. Definately need to keep height at 200 pixels or less.

I think I have it figured out now.

Mostly. The aspect ratio on that picture is a little off, compressing the image from top to bottom so you're camaro looks squashed. If you send me a PM with the original image, I can resize it for you in a way that will look better.

Though, I also have the full Adobe Suite of software, so I use Photoshop.

I'll try shortening the width of the pic first, then go from there. Thanks.

I use Photoshop as well.

Damn expensive. But fun as hell to learn.

TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME consuming.

Or you can use mybannermaker.com.

That's what I use and it fits perfectly, except when I have quotes in my signature.

I haven't gotten it for the most recent version (possibly because it may not exist)...but Kai's Powertools + Photoshop 6.0 made for pure awesomeness. Some of those filters were fun
