[I need help with uploading signatures and profile photos]

Thanks a bunch for helping me fix my super generic signature! But still, why can't i upload a Profile Photo? I'm sick of having a silhouette.

No, it cannot be turned back on. It was turned off because it was confusing to have both a profile picture and an avatar. There's really no reason to have both on a forum.

Then how come you have both? And why is my signature so small?

The profile picture function is turned off. Nothing to be done about that.

For signature, upload to a hosting site, and enter the image URL provided by the site.

What do you mean it's turned off? Can it be turned back on?

[I need help with uploading signatures and profile photos]

I have been having a lot of trouble with this site lately. I just ignored it for a while, but now i'm realy ticked off about it.

Whenever i try to upload a profile image, it says "The file you uploaded is too large" Even though the image i uploaded is under 150x150 pixels and is only 5KB. How do i fix this?

Also, how do i upload a signature? It looks like all i can do is have text as a signature. I'm realy lost.

Any help will be appreciated.

For a first tut the outcome is good

... I always look at tuts as something to interpret and try your own things on. This gives a great basis for screwheads

Nice touch using Negation

BTW I linked to your tut here http://forums.getpai...-viking-helmet/

I'll remove it if you want and put some more steps in

Thanks!

Nice looking tut, although the gradients in your main image are wrong. You have the light coming from 4 different directions!

As i said. It was a rushed preview image. It was just an example of what you could use the screws in.

Here is what we are going to make

Yes, i know. Cheap preview, but it was kind of rushed. Let's get started!

Start off with a grey circle.

Now add a radial gradient to it like this.

Add An Oil Paint filter with The Brush Size Seto to 1, And the Caorseness 50. This is added to make it look more like metal.

Now set the blending to color dodge.

Now to add a little more detail. Make another radial gradient like this.

Set the blending mode to Reflect, and opacity to 45

Now add a line to it

Duplicate the layer and invert colors.Move it one pixel up, then set blending mode to Negation

Done!
