    There are a lot of programs out there, if you're looking for one to try out - Gimp is always a good starting tool. The most advance one right now is Adobe Photoshop CS3 - but that can be pretty pricey if you're wanting to just it out. :)

    Hmm... I don't think Aperture is suitable for creating signature art. It's basically Adobe Lightroom and it's for professionals that want to manage thousands of RAW image files. It shouldn't really be compared with Photoshop.

    I recommend heading over to GraphX Service if you're too lazy to make a sig yourself. That's where you can get custom made signatures, wallpapers, avatars... I highly recommend it. :)

    Well, I hate to be an advertisement :p, but I'm the director of the GraphxService Team, which originally was NBR Graphics Service. We do customized forum signatures, avatars and wallpapers, etc. for free and no credit mandatory.

    www.graphxservice.com

    Don't ban me, I'm not a spammer! :eek:

    :D

    Commish....

    Absolutely addicted to my SSD. You can probably see that in any of the several reviews Ive done that are listed below.

    RE: Sam... No credit necessary but I will gladly place credit where credit is due. An excellent idea, excellent site, great designers (ya Im getting a push in for ya Arkit3kt), and yes free.... I have mentioned this before but will again. NBR should find a place to put a button to the site Sam... Its not as easy to find as it once was.

    No, I can't :p. Moderators and Super Moderators cannot ban moderators either, only an administrator or the Lead Moderator can :).
