To begin, you need to find the picture, pictures, you want to use. I am going to be making a sig of Old time Yankee, Jerry Coleman. First thing you need to do, is find the pictures you are going to use. I am going to use

    and

    Then, paste your pictures into paint, and make sure their not overlapping.

    Thistoolbar is what u will reffer to, the titles for each tool is the titles I'll use to explain what to do, so follow this toolbar(and its terms)

    With your chosen pictures in Paint, choose the Maginfying button, and place it at a good starting point, for me, its the head.

    Note: This is how I do it, there are many different ways you can do this, this is how I find it easiest to do

    Once it is zoomed in, use the 'Free Form Select' button to edit out all of the picture other than the player themself.

    Highlight the outline of the player/object, to what you can see, then circle around(WITHOUT TOUCHING TH PLAYER) and connect the start/end points. A dottedlinebox will show up, rightclick and choose 'Cut'.

    Note: Normally, I'd say while connecting the two, try and remove as much out side picture as possible, but I kept it close in theone, so you could see where I was heading.

    Now continue editing out around the players/objects outline, and(if you have more than 1 picture) Do the same with the other.

    Once you've finished editing out all of the backgrounds, you need to see what your going to be working with. I will make my sig be 450x150, so using the rectagle feature, make a rectagle that is 450x150(Dimention sizes show up in the bottem right corner)

    My player pictures don't all fit in the sig, but thats ok with me, becuase that is the look I'm aiming for, So I'm going to put the Pictures in my box.

    The I'm going to, using the 'Select' button, edit out everything thats not in the box

    Now I'm going to look on google, and find a good background image....I'll use

    On a seperate Paint page, edit the BG to size 450x150, and then past the sig pic on top of it

    Now..If you want to add a logo..Find one, and paste it in the middle of the picture. Note: Some Logos that you find, are perfectly cropped and all you have to do is paste them, others have off-white borders around them in which you must crop out the out side of the logo.

    Last thing you need to do is add text. Text is set up basic like on Word..or Wordpad, Font, Fontsize, bold/italic/underline, it has all those features, its up to you which to use, and if you want a color, you need to chage it with the color bar at the bottem of the Paint program. Mine will say
