testing my xmas ziggy

well what do you think for my first ziggy after all the other times i messed up I know this isnt perfect But i was just trying to get the fill of using one software instead of (4) software programs just wait till next time if its ugly you wont her my feelings

well Poot!..... what did i do now? ive got the size messed up

Hey, Rhonda, here's a resize from your first one, keeping the aspect ratio, and reducing the height to 150 pixels...



It reduces the size quite a lot, but unless you change the aspect ratio, and squish the image, that's probably the best you're going to do with that particular image -- which BTW is really pretty.

well poot i fill like one of thoses people who check a lotto ticket and instead of saying congradulations your a winner They say congradulations 'rhonda' your a looser my eye balls hurt i quit till tommorow night

thank you for the info

Awww...don't feel like a loser, Rhonda you'll get there. It's a really pretty image. The only trouble is that it's almost as tall as it's wide, so you have to shrink the width way down to get the height right -- either that, or change the aspect ratio, but then you get a squished image. What you want to do to start is to make an image that is roughly three to four times as wide as it is tall. Then you can fit in whatever elements you want, and when you're done, resize the height to 150, keeping the aspect ratio, and you'll get a perfect size (visually) You do still need to check the file size, to make sure it's not over 30 Kb, but unless you're working with ginormous files, you should be OK.

Is that any help?

It will be cute when uou get it figured out so that it`s not odd sized!

thank you you cat people for your help im sure in the next few days i will have it right But you know what look how far im getting at least i can add pictures on my ziggy so im getting there I loaded my picture it 2 microsoft software yesturday that i had from my gateway wow thats pretty easy tells ya what to do its the 2002 version but it works i still need to work on my images that i cut out like my cats and dogs im still happy with my results everyone here as been such a big help to me

have a great day


im getting ready for work now bye

What I do is start an signature for example at 300 X 1100 pixels, put everything on it so it fits that size, then once I'm done, I flatten the image and reduce the size down to 150 x 550, which is the perfect aspect ratio and size for a siggy. That way you will have a perfect image, perfectly sized.

hey look at this

Rhonda, the file is way too big: 52,935 bytes, while only a maximum of 30,000 bytes are allowed.
This version of it is 23 K:

Yes Rhonda, please use the reduced one Trish made or reduce it yourself. It needs to be under 30 Kb, not 51 Kb. Otherwise, one or more of the sig-eating kittes will gobble it up. Nobody like to see this in their sig:

It's very nice!
