when you have it in photobucket, click on the picture, click on share, then click get link code, then choose IMG for bulletin boards & forums, and copy and paste that here.

That way it will show up as a picture and not a link. Cheers!

Or heres another example.
and just copy and past the IMG Code-

Looks like you have the same options we do in photoshop. What you should experiment with is your layers and the opacity. Thats when you use the eraser or the brush I'll post up a few examples.

 

[johnnysart]

here I used the gradient tool to create this-


Here I added another layer sent it back and filled it with a lime green color. I went back to my first layer and erased part of the bottom and I used the blur filter so it would fade down just right.


Here I created this pattern with my elliptical and rectangular marquee tool-


Then I kept the selection on my first layer and I selected the eraser tool and adjusted the percentage down to about 40 and erased the pattern and this is what I came up with.


Now if I would have left it at 100% it would have been much brighter.

that is cool and free isnt to bad for it huh lol

 

[johnnysart]

I agree Colton. Thats why I took a look at what tools you had and you can pretty much do allot.

 

[ramthis9501]

Do you think that I could start helping you make signatures?

 

[johnnysart]

Well --I think you still need to get more practice in --and I'm not trying to say anything bad about your skills. It just takes time to really get a feel for it.

Johnny I think you should do a little tut on how to make the animated ones!

 

[ramthis9501]

[ramthis9501]

[johnnysart]
