Alternatively you could do the opposite with a program like Rasterbator

Let's you print out HUGE images in pieces so that you can then post them up on your wall if you're careful.

Several hours out on Moatoob and you can say bye-bye to that shiny-white paintjob. O well, at least I can melt in the background now, which is good, draws less attention from the Beasts <.<

yeah, I was fiddling around with screenshots last night to make my sig. here's what method I used.

1) If you want a close shot, try getting up next to a wall or corner, and start rotating the camera so it forces itself to zoom in on your character. You can fiddle around with this to get the most desired angle. *OR have a friend do this for you by using the first person view (outside of a mission, so you don't get the targeting circle) and they can get super close for any angle that is best. I only had to press print screen on my pc to get the image to copy to the clipboard, so I don't think you need to press alt.

2) Open desired graphics program. I just used photoshop so I could do everything I needed in one shot. Imageready is good too, especially if you want to include animations and such. Open a new file and paste your screenshot into it. You can then crop the image down to the max signature size (600x180 I think) or less...I made mine 600x140 so I could include a line of text. Then go to town with any additional stuff you want to add to the sig.

3) I saved mine out as a jpeg so I could compress under 35k...then upload to your favorite host and link to it in your sig. Fun!

I have made similar work with help of the special software for poster printing (http://www.ronyasoft.com/products/proposter/). Result poster was very cool.

P.S. Taking into account the date of this thread, I hope this info will be useful for forum community.

Welcome to PSO-World, and by extention, welcome to Fan Works, Alfatester. That's a very solid first post, very appropriate for this thread, but in the future, please refrain from bumping topics that are several months old. As a general rule, if you have to dig to find a topic, think twice before bumping it. There are exceptions, but I'm afraid this thread is not among them.
