Could anyone make my sig pic transparent? I couldn't figure out how to do it in AppleWorks, and I was wondering if I could get some help here.

I'm beginning to think we should just make a generic sig-transparency thread for all your invisi-siggy needs.

Smelly horrible awful nasty Appleworks, not allowing transparent backgrounds >:(

Yeah, so I was wondering if anyone could take the image and make it transparent. ;)

JPEG images don't support transperency, you will need to take the original source image and save it as a GIF.

Do not just take the JPEG image and save that as a GIF, the JPEG compression will leave the horrible artifacts you can see around the text.

Why don't you just make it text?

Okay, well I re-did it for you. There are still some white bits, but how does this look?

Is that too large? I could shrink it some more but you lose detail with every shrinkage.

I can shrink the spacing by re-doing it. Or whatever. Let me know.

Hey, Vaynor!

I redid it a little bit. Tell me if you prefer one of these.
