well there's photoshop that's very popular
rofl...ms paint
but personally i use GIMP, its a free open source photo manipulation program, it's not AS feature-rific as something you'd have to pay for like photoshop but nonetheless its still chock full of nifty features and its compatible with most OS's like linux or vista :3 yay tux ><

For my siggi Adobe ImageReady is used.
For these simpler things, who are not to hard to make, i used a combination between Paint and Easy GIF Animator.(The Asheer one taked me like not even 5 minutes and its made with Easy GIF Animator.)

And this one is a combination between Paint and Adobe Photoshop:

I reccomend photoshop cs2, GIMP is harder to use, and I've seen wonderfully made things made from using cs2.

Also off topic if you do make signatures don't make them the size of a wallpaper it's usally unappealing and takes up too much space.

someone in my class wants GIMP, but he can't find it -_- do you know where to get it?... since you said it's open source I say it's very strange he can't find it...

I use Gimp. I feel I finally can do most of anything on Gimp. It is my chosen program for anything I create now. If only I had a tablet everything would be perfect, but than again I can't really draw D:

Hmm? I use windows so I wouldn't know for a Mac, but I always had the notion that anything added to Gimp had to be gotten from the internet, made by the user, or as for font found from word. ^^

there should be a few gimp support sites chillin around on the web ...just gotta google em...also if you're on there, deviantart has some great stuff for photoshop, paintshop pro, gimp and the likes...stuff like interesting tutorials, some nice/spiffy brushes...
and as for starting out...i just clicked everything i could and played around with it till i found out what did what >< but that's just me (lol i'm still not THAT great at gimp either :3 )
someone in my class wants GIMP, but he can't find it -_- do you know where to get it?... since you said it's open source I say it's very strange he can't find it...
just google the words gimp, photo editing or something like that to narrow your search down a bit more.
Also off topic if you do make signatures don't make them the size of a wallpaper it's usally unappealing and takes up too much space.
omg i seriously wish everyone would listen to this...it also makes it hell for those not on an awesome internet connection to have a hard time loading the pages....(the forums should have a size limit to our sigs...and not limit the number of images in your sig)

The GIMP is free... It's like photoshop but it's just free.

umm... I have windows... read my text.
And this is kinda off-topic, this topic is about the programs that we use for making sigs/fanart. Not the kind of computers we use to make it but the programs...;)
