    Thanks!
    Is it OK to paste code (like signatures) into a message... so it stays put rather than reverting to the current signature? Re-read the rules last night and not quite sure.

    vB code (the tags available with most bulletin board software) yeah...at least if you want it be effective. HTML code is turned off on these boards, so by putting something otherwise will just show up as code, not the effect you're looking for.

    This took a while to upload... not sure if it's the size or just that the phone lines are all too busy ..........Opps! this is MUCH bigger than expected.

    Tags removed because of image size.

    I usually use 500 x 150 or so, but Opeio informed me smaller is better :good:

    so now I'm using sorta 350X125 or so.

    So long as it a) wasn't as big as that last one ie almost A4 size :D, and b) under 100kn in size, there's no problem

    Thanks and not to worry... I won't do anything that big again!

    I'm trying to find a good trade off between image size - readability - edge quality. It doesn't look like you and Opeio have a problem with that - you both seem to have very good resolution. Am I maybe missing something in settings?

    I'm starting and working at 500x150...sometimes cropping down from there, but edges seem blurred. Maybe I should be making larger marbles to begin with?

    Is that some kind of inuendo???? :D

    If you increase the resolution at the start, then the images are of much higher quality.

    For example 500x150 @ 200 pixels per inch, gives a great resolution, but jacks up the file size.

    Also yeah, the larger the image, the better it looks when you shrink it.
