Oops, I must have saved it as a jpg, I was only showing the shine effect and the 3x3 video lines, if I was going to correct the spelling then i'de have to build a whole new image. The only reason why I added those lines is because thats what most user bars have.

No, yours is the second one in my post and that's a PNG file. (h3's original was a JPG though) I think you use GIMP right? There's something about the way you blur the image or resample it or whatever. I've seen that in a couple of your images. Just something to look out for.
Oh, and user bars suck in general. :-)

It was probably saved as "download.php", but that was likely not the actual file type. You might have to open it up in an image editing program to find out what format it's in.PETER wrote:I dont know if this has anything to do with it, but when opening the image, I had to open it in the gimp which was not it's defalt file type for some reason? It was php.

funny the misspelling - I know you're no dummy, it's just funny. Just a plug for Firefox - version 2 has an inline spell checker.woops i guess i did spell my own thing rong Sad ill fix that later
By the way, you may want to save images of this sort in XCF, the native GIMP format. That way, when you open it again, it retains all of your layers, history etc. Same goes for Photoshop PSD files. It also keeps the image from degrading each time you save it. JPG, GIF, PNG and any other compressed format do degrade a small amount each time you edit them and save the changes. Not sure about BMP files. TIFF files have a lossless compression so they're safe to edit repeatedly.
Image FYI
BMP image files don't compress at all, and are therefore rather large. Also, they can't do layers or transperancy. They are, strangley enough, a Microsoft creation.
Longhair is right, in that you should always save a copy as an XCF or PSD, because it lets you work on individual layers repeatedly and to retain all other special features.
Oh, and I must agree with temporal distraction; userbars are 70% lame.

Yeah, your sig area is rather overwhelming. Personally, I only read the userbars if it has something really interesting in it, and only if there is one or two of them. Sitting here at the bottom of the page and typing this in, I remember that you have a GIMP userbar, and a SSH userbar (secure shell or something else?) Pick the most important one.
