Ｄｉｇｉｔａｌｌｙ Ｄｉｓｔｉｎｃｔ: Signature Tutorial Thread

[Corvette]

I'm making my siggy, and this is what I have so far:
(and I'm quite proud of it.)

I need to make it smaller, I've tried to make it smaller though I'm not 100%
sure how big I should size it. I tried sizing it already, but it was all blurry.
Can anyone help me?

Try these c:

And I am allowed online again. Woo.
I know this was answered above, but I need to explain why it gets blurry.
This is because the size of the picture does not mean it is at the highest image quality.
For instance, clip art from Microsoft tends to be at approx 150 dpi, whereas Images from a magazine will be greater than 300dpi.
This basically means that the image can be resized without blur happening, because for every pixel, there is a number of pixels within it which allows the image to be high or low quality.
And by analyzing your image, it is currently about 72 dpi, or aka the default size for Photoshop. Aka you can only stretch it so much before it does pixelate and blur.

Key Words:
DPI - Dots Per Inch
Image Resolution Explanation

Just wanted to say this thread is so helpful ^-^ I look back at it about a hundred times a day o3o
I envy everybody's signatures here :P (may need a bit of help soon with a coding project...)

Announcement
Introducing: the Pixlr Project

What is it?
This project is the brainchild of Enuri, who will likely be making large contributions to this undertaking. The Pixlr Project will be one ongoing group effort to make one tutorial for each tool on the Pixlr. Anyone can make a tutorial for the project. After Of The Falls approves the tutorial, it will be linked in the project's Table of Contents.

I want to make a tutorial! What do I do?
1. Pick a tool to write about. Check the Table of Contents to make sure someone else hasn't already covered that tool!
2. Post your tutorial. Make sure it meets the requirements below!
3. PM Of The Falls when you post the tutorial so that it isn't overlooked.
Note:
- Of The Falls might ask you to edit parts of the tutorial before it is officially linked on the ToC.
- You will be credited for every tutorial you make.
- An announcement will be made when your tutorial is linked.

Are there any requirements for the tutorials?
Yes. Please at least show (1) where to find the tool, (2) how to use the tool, and (3) state how you can apply this tool to an editing technique (if applicable).

Example: Eraser
1. You can find the eraser on the toolbox on the left [Insert screenshot with important areas circled here]
2. Click and drag over your layer to use it. Adjust the settings up top
3. This tool was crucial in the "How to Make a Transparent Background" tutorial.

I need a little help guys. So, I just changed the image on the left and now it's wider.. So the text didn't fit in with the borders on the right. I took the borders away 'cause they were too fat, but somebody else made them for me. I just need some help on making them again, but thinner (one fatter on the inside, because I'll probably have 3). How do I do it without the borders on an image? (By themselves, how I had it before.)

Empty, but not for long!

Could I please reserve a spot for making borders? Thanks ^w^

Also, Chocco, did you want to learn how to make them or someone to make them for you?

Hi!

I feel like an idiot for asking about almost the same problem again, but I've tried using the 'hug the left side' method but that last image on the right is still placed downward a bit. Help?

Does that help? The last image didn't have a "left" code, maybe that will work.

I feel really dumb for not seeing that. :y

But alas; the last right picture is still shifted down.

Alright. Tweaked some things, tell me how you like it. The problem with the image should be fixed now, I had to condense the text to fit in the area provided with the images, and I added a small divider to break up the text a little bit and fill up the text box. You can replace that with a line of text, though.
