    yea i do,sometimes photoshop doesnt show the precise image,but thats just me.otherwise you need to upload it into photobucket or imageshack.

    all you have to do is sharpen some layers... but dsont go overboard or it could look bad.

    Are you blurring and overlaying the background? If you are, then sharpen only the bg. :\

    Are you asking us how to solve your horrific image quality, or something else?

    erm...I think if you save it on higher resolution its better? Im not sure tbh, but I think thats it (when you create a new document, there its normally like 72 inch per px? (or px per inch?)

    I changed it once and I think it worked but maybe not because it made the text HUGE!

    I am just talking about like Anime sigs. You know how most of them are really clear and percise? How do you get that. I know res. works but it is bad for the text.

    Well , for me this works ...

    After you have done every single thing of your sig ( ignore brightness/contrast and anything affecting light and dark stuff )...

    What I did , add the adjusment layer Brightness/Contrast and increase the brightness significantly but not so much like 70 or 80.

    Next , flatten the image .

    After having a background , duplicate that background !

    Set the above layer ( background ) to soft light .

    Use gaussian blur until how you like it ...

    Is this what you want ?
