Signature Design Question

XavierBlack · Nov 22, 2006, 10:05 PM

I want to make my own signature pic but not sure what to use to do the work in... I don't have PhotoShop or anything like that so is there a cheap alternative that can be easy to use... I"m not very artistic but I still want to try this along with maybe making some walls (if I ever find an artistic bone in my body) lol

thanks for the help

You could try the Gimp its a free download im not sure of the site but if you dont want to pay for photoshop or anything like paint ship pro then gimp is your best bet its kinda like hmm A "Poor Mans" photoshop lol

I would highly suggest The Gimp. Here is the Link for Gimp:

GIMP - Windows installers

Remember you also have to download GTK+2 environment for it to work.
To get started here is a great tutorial site

GIMPTalk.com - Ultimate gimp tutorials and community forum

I own photoshop cs2 and paint shop pro i got tons of photo editing programs its worth the money id say some people are always saying who still pays for photoshop and i rather do it the legal way than at all so if u cant get ur hands on photoshop get paint shop or Da Gimp lol

I wouldnt suggest getting something illegally but you are able to get photoshop off of limewire downloader if you were to do something like that

in my opinion why pay for something that has no physical presence? I'll buy a car, a computer, a TV, a game or even a game station to play the game on but I will not pay for something that never really has a physical preference

I have photoshop myself and I know people will ask "why dont you buy it legally?" well its simple I am poor and I dont think I should have to settle for a piece of shit program like the gimp for making signatures, wallpapers or anything graphical like that just because I'm poor

my current signature the "therapy" sig is simple but I do like the choice between simple and complicated with photoshop instead of settling for less and always going for simple

the gimp is not "shit"
depends on how good the person is at sig making
It is possible to make good stuff with gimp.
Sure it's not as good as photohshop - but it's not as bad as what you are saying though.

*Xelhes* · Nov 23, 2006, 05:55 PM

well i mean i never tried the gimp but i have seen stuff from it and wel its not exactly ...the best

_gwenibe_ · Nov 23, 2006, 06:44 PM

lol well, it does the job good enough for me and I guess if your a beginner (unless of course your a begginer with photoshop) it's alright, until you upgrade.

*Violent* · Nov 23, 2006, 09:55 PM

Gimp isn't all bad, it doesn't have some of the things that Photoshop has, but if you don't wanna buy or dl Photoshop Gimp is the way to go.

*Xelhes* · Nov 23, 2006, 10:39 PM

Yea id have to agree with you there i mean exactly what would it be lacking because i have never used it i have photoshop so what does photo have that Da Gimp doesnt
