I like this pict of my 530i down by our draw bridge:

...And I thought it looked cool as a duotone with a Diffuse Glow filter added:

You've got me wanting to change mine now!!! How do you get such a big signature picture? I'm not very technical...

Obviously I use photoshop. I also store my sig pict on my work's website and have bimmer.info point to it so it's not on Ed's server takin' up space. ;)

Fortunately, it seems that on this forum the pixel dimensions are not as important as the resolution size of an image. So as long as I keep the size down I was able to make it bigger.

My sig is 750 pixels wide by 157 pixels high, and I "saved it for web" out of photoshop which gives it a resolution size of 28k.

The profile picture seems to have more strict parameters 100 x 100 and/or less than 64k. I don't have one of those.

Thanks and i love it! Must have took a lot of effort.

I was thinking of changing the wheels for throwing stars or some new 7 series (replicas), but they t-stars are hard to get hold of and both expensive... and with all the recent work i've had to do to it i can't afford a change!!!

Hey - saw the thread... thanks! Feel better now, aqlthough i have the other pictures hosted on the web so i don't know if people can access them or not... I'll worry about it if i start getting speeding/parking fines!

The High Res looks great as well, really professional. People might start thinking i know what i'm talking about :p
