[Scottie]

don't think it's so much the car he wants in the pic BS.

Fiona, I could really be offended if it wasn't true

Sorry Alan, Andy, but tried uploading via photobucket and both were refused cause they were too big. Same problem as I was having.

Hmm, the piccie i made has defaulted to 510 x 200, very strange

Malcolm, dont use the UPLOAD option. In the white entry field where you would enter the text for your signature, click the "Insert Image" icon, then in the wee box that opens up, paste in the URL to the file on Photobucket.

If you wish, PM me your phone number and I'll talk you through it.

Malcolm, because the image you posted is way higher than it is wide it limits what can be done with the overall piccie, have you got a full sized picture?? if so, post it up and i'll see what can be done with it

Alan, here is full photo. Andy, I'm off to bed, cause I'm up early. Will try what you suggested tomorrow. Thanks for all your help guys. By the time I succeed, I'll be fed up with the photo!

Malcolm, that should deffo work, 'cos I just did it myself, and put it in my own signature strip. Took it out again, but it did work for me.

I think what Malcolm wants is the full sized sig, ie, 500 x 100 pixels, but, soz, that can't work with this piccie, however, if he's happy enough to go for the correct height, then what you did is ok, but, it won't be anywhere near the 500 pixels wide.

For future reference, the way you need to take this type of picture to be used as a sig, you should turn the camera through 90 degrees, that way it gives the length x width ratio.
Note, it doesn't work the same as rotating the image

Ive tried to crop and reduce it etc and it looks odd ...be better if you had one taken from a distance that way you could cut out all the extra background and resize it to proportion .

Surely if you turn the camera 90 dgs the image will be taller than it is long (portrait) on an average camera, For a signature, you want an image that is longer than tall (landscape)???

If all you want is a cropped section 500 x 100 I don't suppose what way you hold the camera is important as the resolution of all modern cameras is way more than this. Just make sure you take a suitable snap!
