I just wanted to ask those that have multiple pictures in their signature -- how are you doing it???

Are you using a feature in Photobucket to create the multiple image file to link to? Or another program or application to create the image file?

I'm am feeling a little technologically challenged when it comes to doing this?!?!

Thanks,
Katie

Katie- I would normally use photoshop but I was too lazy when I made mine. You can use MS Paint, most computers have it.

Select the pictures you would like to have in your sig, you can resize by going to the drop down menu and click on Image, then down to Stretch/Skew. The first two spots (stretch) allow you to change the size, always put in the same numer to both and always smaller not larger. Like you want it half the size put in 50 for both horizontal and vertical.

Then go to the Dotted line rectangle, at the very top right of the tools menu to the upper left of the screen. Click and drag to select the picture or part of the picture you want. One you have it selected right click and Copy or Ctrl C. Open the next picture, resize if you want, go to the bottom corner of the picture where you see that little blue square and click and drag to make the area larger, you want white area to the side of the picture. Paste or Ctrl V will add the previous picture, click on it and drag it to where you want it.

Repeat, crop, save, and add to photobucket.

Hope this helps

Thanks Jennifer!

I have a new computer and am continually learning all the new programs it has! I found MS Paint. I am sure I'll have fun playing around with it tonight to see what I can create with my pics. I should invest in Photoshop now that you say that too -- I love playing around with all my pictures.

If I have any questions about the instructions you posted I'll PM you if that's okay.

Of course I am now going to be obsessively checking posts for a Cajun update too.

Thanks Jennifer -- if I end up yelling in frustration I'll send you some stuff to work your talents on.

Very cool photoshop stuff you've done!!!

It's fun to learn and Paint is one of the easier programs but I remember when I was first learning yelling was my favorite thing to do haha.

And thanks, I do it as a hobby mostly. I find random pictures on the net and combine them to make something abstract. A glimpse into the mind of Jenn M. heehee

Adding those neat names under each dog is cool too. I gotta learn how to do that. Maybe another lesson?

That is easier to do with Photoshop than Paint but it depends on the fonts you have in your paint program. You can add fancy text with the little A symbol in the tools menu (top left of the screen) and two options pop up below the main options, the top will be highlighted - click on the bottom to highlight it. What that does is make sure the text is all you are adding, not a white box around the text (that box will cover up the picture) and once you click where you want the text, drag to open the text box and a menu should pop up that shows font type and size. Select which you want an the size and type away - repeat under each picture

Well I managed to figure out the pictures with a little trial and error. I'll save adding fancy text for another day.

This is enough of an accomplishment for one day!

Thanks again Jennifer!!
