*waits for his cool sig involving his name...some abstract coolness, dark stuff with purple sumwhere and voerall coolness*

Mine sig is a lil to big

1024 owns you.

Sp3ctre · 2003-06-09, 02:50 PM

Can I have a sig please? Anythin with a fine gun-wielding samurai chick on it will do

Airlift · 2003-06-09, 03:09 PM

1024, you are my hero.

If you wanted more requests than I gave you, I would have sent you more.

How about a sig for UNEEDASSHOE, something appropriate to the following quote:

In the beginning, God created Earth and rested. Then God created man and rested. Then God created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has rested.

And I also owe a sig to Angelos, something with vanu reavers and a reference to the fury of angels.

Saint also needs a new one because he has come to senses and ceased to be a disloyal colonist.

There are more where those came from, some that I've made a little progress on, and others that I haven't even thought about yet. The custom title has been riding my ass cracked out roommate, and there have always been a lot of good sig makers on this forum that deserve recognition for their work. Three cheers for you!

Airlift, do you ever vector things to remove the pixelation?

Jarlo · 2003-06-09, 04:26 PM

I could use one.. would like a vanguard on one half and magrider on other-- Emerald on the VS Side, Johani on NC side-- otherwise just Jarlo on the top middle portion.

JARLO
Vanguard Magrider
Johari Emerald

Are you asking if I use the pen tool to redraw images in vector format? If so, not really. If you are asking if I use a vector mask to do transparency, then every single time.

For pixelation and lossy compression (aka jpegging), I generally use the Smart Blur filter and then edit > fade... to get the blending options and opacity that I want. You can do a lot in the way of removing pizelization by reducing your image size by 10% or so. Further tweaks can be done with some of the adjustment layers (posterize will eliminate pixelization, but it also stylizes the image in the process. The Artistic > Poster Edges filter will do a similar job as Posterize (with better results, imo), but the filter changes the source layer, whereas the adjustment layer leaves everything unedited and just modifies the overall result.

[edit: just pretend like there was some good grammar in that post somewhere. thx]

I was asking about the pen tool. ACtually, flash has a good instant converter to vector format so that makes it easier

Violator · 2003-06-09, 06:03 PM

you make good sigs

r3d · 2003-06-09, 06:04 PM

Airlift, when are you goina make my sig?
1024's doesent count

Airlift · 2003-06-09, 06:19 PM

Doesn't Count!?! How doesn't it count?

1024 is Sigbot Tested, Sig Mastah Approved

Sputty, a lot of my work looks like vector because I use the poster edges filter regularly. Here is an example of what that filter does:

The source (top) is from a screenshot that I sized down and lightened (via the edit > adjust > Levels tool). The only difference between the top and bottom is the filter.
