Does anyone know how to make a bumper sticker.....

[FrenchieCat]

that I can then display as my sig here?

I made one over at cafe press, and purchased it, but I couldn't seem to figure out how to save the image to my picture account or even to my picture on my hard drive.

1. Exactly where is there a picture then, at Cafe Press, or on your desktop?

If it's at Cafe Press you can save it to your picture account (photobucket)...

Or do you just have the actual sticker? Then you'll have to scan it.

2. Saving CafePress images...

... isn't generally possible. If you right-click to Save one, you're more than likely to just wind up with a clear.gif.

However, if you have the means to edit an image, then you could go back to the CafePress shop and take a screen shot of the page with the bumper sticker image (PrtScn button), paste it into your image software and crop away all the extra stuff. It won't be a high enough resolution to duplicate the image on other products (which is the point of CafePress protecting the images in the first place), but it may suffice for putting it into your sig.

Well, wait a second... I just added the image below to my sig. I went to the bumper sticker's product page at my CafePress shop, right-clicked, and copied the URL of the image from its Properties. Pasted it into my DU profile. Good to go. :)

3. Oh, really? Can't save images?

It worked for me...

[FrenchieCat]

4. It didn't for me!

:cry:

Ok, let me describe it.....

rectangular two halves horizontally. top half red, bottom half blue.

Top half reads: MCCAIN-BUSH-PALIN-CHENEY
bottom half reads: THINK WE ARE THAT STUPID!

5. Can you post or pm the URL link for that has the image? OR...

Or is it password protected at your account?


OR: I'll try to find the one you describe in your post, at cafe press?

don't worry, we'll get it...

[FrenchieCat]

7. Thanks!

It would look like this, but with my words:

Top reads Bush-McCain-Palin-Cheney

Bottom reads: THINK WE'RE THAT STUPID!

8. Oh, you're doing a 'one-off' sticker?

Rather than buying one that already exists in a shop?

[FrenchieCat]

10. Actually, I don't know what I'm doing....

But know it cost me $13.00 and some change.

13. How's this?

I don't care if you use my photobucket link, or copy to your own, if you like it...

Do you know how to make it smaller, or do you want me to?

:hi:

[FrenchieCat]

17. Pretty please, just a tinch smaller to fit as my signature line!

Thanks! You are a sweetie! :loveya:

11. if you can see the image on your screen, just hit the printscreen key up on the top right

then open up Paint and do a paste.

you will see the screen you just saved. then all you have to do is trim it down to size and save it.

[BlooInBloo]

15. Screw that. Right-click the pic, select Save Image As... (or somesuch)...

Then go learn how to use flicker, imageshack, or some hosting site.

20. sometimes you can't do that if it is some strange file type

[BlooInBloo]

14. Keep in mind that DU has a very strict and small limit on the size of a sig pic.

[NYC_SKP]

16. Or this smaller one...

[FrenchieCat]

18. I'll take it ! Yes!

:woohoo:
