How To Make A Sig

Do you want to make your own sig? --- We'll tell you how.
If you would like to learn how to make your own sig or do your own graphics for another project,
you must first have a good graphics program. Most of us use Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop.
Both are very good programs. With either one of these programs, you can change the size, add text,
cut or crop, adjust colors and lighting, or add special effects to any pictures or graphics that you scan,
upload or aquire online. They will even allow you to draw freehand if you are a true artist at heart.
Since many people are unsure about doing this themselves the first time,
We have provided links to trial versions to these programs for you below. If you have any questions about
how to use these programs, We would be happy to assist you with some of the particular functions.
Remember the help files included with the software are always the best place to start.
Dont forget to see our tutorials page also. There are alot of helpfull links from there.

Adobe Photoshop 6 information
Adobe Photoshop 6 is the most recent version from Adobe.
It comes with its own built in animation wizard and can be complimented
with several add ons to enhance your graphics manipulation.
Although Adobe Photoshop has a few more features than Paint Shop Pro
it is less user friendly. Below is a link to a trial version
so you can try it before you run out and buy it.
**NOTE** The trial version of Photoshop does not allow you
to save or use any of the work you do.
