First 2 tries at PhotoShop. Comments, anyone?

Also, does anyone know of a good downloadable .jpeg/.jpg compressor? These are WAY too big to use yet. :)

Here's the addies for 'em:

I'd comment if brinkster would load. For this sort of thing, geocities usually works much better.

They're ok, but there is far too much seperation from the background.

What do you mean too much seperation? Just confused by the term. :)

Ok, use the signature I did for you as an example. Satine is, of course, seperate from the backrground, but the image is also clearly complete, one thing. He's on top of the background, and, in the case of the right picture (translucent one) integrated into the background. What you have you could do with a table - Satine with one of the images you have on the left, and the text and background in a seperate cell.

The other thing to pay attention to is color - if you notice, I used the blues and yellows already present on Titus (or for us, Satine/Alpha). It helps things look very natural. Of course, you can also use contrasting colors for effect, but you have to be very careful to prevent it from looking garrish.

Thanks for the tip. :)

Two more questions: Does the PhotoShop website (and could I have the addy?) have downloadable plugins for more backgrounds and textures? Oh, and how do I make a transparetn pic like in the bg of mine?

Thanks!
