Ok.so I spent hours working on a sig on a large scale thinking I could resize it later and keep the resolution.

Apparently not cause I'm ps6 it looks awesome. In my sig it looks like trash.

Anyone know best way to maintain quality resize or do I literally need to work on.it at the sig size from.the beginning?

I have the project saved if anyone would like the file it's nb considering this is my first time using photoshop.

could you upload the larger one and link it?
also when you scale it down, do you keep the proportions?

Ill put it up if possible. Do any websites allow uploading photoshop saved images? I think the fact that I'm saving it as jpeg might ruin.it? I'll check.it out and try to up it.

when you save it, use "save for web/devices" instead of the usual "save as" (or ctrl+shift+alt+s)
make sure there's no blur or anything and you can also size it down in the same window as well as choose jpg/png/gif and edit the quality

also your current one is saved as a png, not jpeg
not sure if you changed it after your post or what

Yeh I have the original which I created on a 1300x1000 sheet saved in photoshop format. . Pss I thonk it is?

But when.I try to upload that one it's not supported. I saved duplicates as png and jpeg and resized + upped them and as you can see it looks like garbage.

Should be able to get original up shortly.

you need to save as PNG and make sure the background layer is transparent
