I started out with a black & white photo I found on the net (no this isnt me)

Photo Here

I took it to Image Magick

Type in the address for the image, and click on VIEW

On the next page, click on RESIZE
If you are putting in a number in the box, remember that you MUST put an exclamation mark after the last number.
Or click on half size, or whatever size you want
Then click on the resize button

On the next page, click on the COLORMAP tab at the top of the page

Take out the numbers that are already in the box and type in 4
Click on the quantize button

On the next page you will see your image, right below it are some buttons
For the PAINT attribute,
Make sure the one dropbox is on REPLACE
Type in a color name, and then go up and click on the image
Move the arrow to the area you want to paint, and click

I made the darkest area black
the next darkest teal
the next lighter color lime
and then the lightest area I made yellow.

This is what I got

LOL kinda loud but I like loud

For this signature I took an image I already had in my index and used it for a table background

Then I placed my new image in that table and set the transparency at 65% ... final result is below

Final Result


Note:

One way to do a table code is:

<<>body bgcolor="????" text="?????"<>> <<>center<>><<>table background="the city gif" border="?"<>><<>tr<>><<>td align="center"<>><<>img src="face gif" transparency="65" height="?" width="?"<>> <<>/td<>><<>/tr<>><<>/table<>>
