^ nah, i bet it just exceeded 4 lines. i wish they'd just be strict on the 500px width and 150px total height.
I could use 2 lines of text with an image with this.

Why not just make it all 1 line Pingry or a smaller size? >_>

^ Just...no. Aesthetically speaking, marquees suck.

Felt like making the worst set I could in 10 minutes (including time needed to find stock pics)
So I did.
Using it for teh lulz.

btw, i've wanted to ask this for a while. why are you using unreadable text in your sig?

> implying mine isn't also barely readable.

No, yours is perfectly readable. Meomix just needs a slightly darker border for the text.

Been trying to open photoshop to fix that for awhile now, pretty horrible to read at a distance.

Hmm ... the file size is a bit large ... suppose to be less than 100kb ...

I suggest trying either one of these to make the text in the image more readable ...
-- more padding on the shadowing ...
-- using a darker color for the font instead of white ... like a light to medium gray or even silver.

Hell no the glow stays, all the over styles were crap! Luckly the program had a decent default text sheet for once.

As i said all the other styles sucked, currently adding arrow borders. And thanks didn't notice the sig was over 100k, have to send it through shrinkpictures again.

Oo ... I did say change font COLOR ... not the font itself ... for the 2nd suggestion.

I could have sworn that you can pick the color of the font when adding the text to a image in PS.

Damnit. In order to bypass the 156k problem that came out of nowhere. the signature was originally 86k i dunno what happened. I'd have to compress it down to 30k and by that point all quality is gone.

Hmm ... saving it as a jpg?  or will the quality suck if doing so?

Another idea would be to crop about a 1/4 of an inch off the top ... So the top of the image would end about 10 pixel above the arch way on the left.

Save to web and devices did the trick, managed to knock the image down to 27k without drastic loss in quality.

Ok. I completely deleted the background image all together yet it is STILL 150k, wtf is iSig doing!?

Edit: No wait... just went down to only 113k ( - -)

Edit: Went back up to 150k *Snaps*

Edit: It shaves off 40k for each 50px deducted, going to have to resize the entire signature...
