this is a decent tut.

but why did you save it as a .gif instead of a .png????

[Bensta]

Not a clue but either way, it gets into the finished product so it's kind of irrelevant, there's no quality substitute between the two. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it mate.

gif is much lower quality then jpeg or png

Gif has only 256 colours. PNG and jpg have several mill depending on the number of bits.
Not a bad tut though.

Good tut in my opinion. Btw why would u need millions of colours..

[Roar]

because of quality?

no one saves their sigs as GIF unless its animation, the quality is freaking shitty compared to PNG.

why the hell would you want lower quality, when you can get much better?

because you get greater overall quality with more colors available ...
