How can I set a sig with transparent background?

I tried saving it in both, GIF and PNG formats but background always appears white after uploading

any ideas?b:surrender

Sounds like an issue with saving. Which program are we talking about?

Alternatively, you could cheat and just fill the background with the forum color. b:chuckle

I use photoshop, just tell me which program to use and I'll try to make sig with it

Lol yea, that's what I didb:laugh but after uploading quality gets worse and you can still see the rectangular shape on the "transparent" background:D

Hm I always save transparent sigs in PNG format and upload them with Tinypic and I dont have problems. Maybe you dont make them correct b:surrender

When u open new project in Photoshop make sure you chose Transparent background to start with (like shown here: http://tinypic.com/r/whd3k9/8. When you put your SS or picture on it and edit it, you have to remove all colored background from it (http://tinypic.com/r/2zi98w8/8). Now you can even chose to make gradient fade into transparent, or make only parts of image transparent etc. Imagination is your only limit. Before you save it in PNG it should look something like this: http://tinypic.com/r/33en636/8

I hope this helps, and if u have more questions feel free to ask.

ooh me too. Thanks I'll try that. Also I uploaded image from my computer so I'll try tinypic now, who knows...


EDIT: naah, it's still there:D oh nevermind, I'll just do what xainou said. Thank you two and also, I'll just leave it here for some time. Just wondering how people see it:3 I don't know but I was told that this may be your browser's problem and others don't see that white background. I don't even know if it's possible. Again, who knowsb:laugh

forgot to ask, how do you upload it here with tinypic? I tried copying both img and url codes but it gives me "invalid file" error after uploading

For these forums, you'd have to use the sigpic function via uploading the image directly to the forum while in the edit your signature section of the user CP.

thanks but I finally decided to use the one with colored background (in forum colors). I was kinda annoyed that I couldn't do it, nothing moreb:laugh

Eh, I'm pretty sure I've hosted transparent sigs on external sites too and they worked ... o_o

And I'm actually using PS too. lol Hard to tell any issue from a distance though. So the background color solution works nicely lol

Follow delicious steps, and then try this:

Instead of normal save as, press "Save for web" and choose PNG-24 (that supports transperancy) and make sure transperancy is checked as well of course.

Yep, I made PNG one and uploaded it and it works just fine as u see ^_^. Looks much better on black background tho

If you are making a png, make sure the png has black and white dot background since that I how I know it is png. You might save it as jpg or something....
