You need to create all the graphics in the same size (400x200 or whatever vBSig's default is, you can find that out via image properties) and they need to be transparent PNGs with transparent empty space for the remainder of the image.

You can look at the existing images in an editor like Photoshop to see how they should be made

Is this still working.? (4.2.2)
I'm confused on what to do after installation & permissions given.??
Do i need to add images or are there some installed somewhere.?

I'm not seeing any option to create a signature.
Thanks
*****************
Ok i guess it just took longer than i expected for the images to show up.

New question, where do we add new images.? (straight to an images folder?)
Also is there a PSD template?

Thanks again

[DragonByte Tech]

New images can be added to /dbtech/vbsignatures/images and its sub-folders, though they do need to be sliced in a very specific way.

There's no PSD templates at this time, sorry
