How do you guys make your own sigs like what programs you use and how you do it? The fonts etc... I am a total newbie so even if it is basic stuff I probably don't know about it.

1.) These are the 2 that I know people use to make sigs. Photoshop will be the majority.

2.) There are a lot of tutorials available on making them.

3.) Dafont.com = font resource

dont worry about being a newbie sometimes even the pros get ideas off newbies

CS2 should be alright.

It depends on the user.

Cant find it? Thats odd.

Am not familiar with Photoshop Album 2.0. Sounds like your basic photo editing tool (resizing, colour correction, make a greeting card/calendar stuff.

I've you're downloading a legal version of Photoshop then it will not be anything worth getting. I would suggest getting GIMP if you want something legal and easy to set up. Downloading ilegal version of file editters can be very dagurous because they can be confusing in instuling.


Here's a tute I made ages ago when I was showing my friends how to cut out pictures and look good. >__> It's so outdated, but you can get an idea from it.
((Image heavy, and wide for people with smaller res monitors.))

Spoiler



I also suggest that you get a group of texture, brushes, fonts and pictures (Both, just pictures and renders/pngs) on your compy. (Or links to wesites with them on.)

Hope this helps.
