Help with sig

[gor17981]

Hi there, I have been playing with photoshop cs5 working on a sig and need some help,
when i save the sig it looks grainy, how to i stop this?
If any one can point me in the right direction regarding the best settings in cs5 to get rid of the grainyness that would be awesome.
Here is what i am talking about.


THANKS IN ADVANCE

are you makin the sig at a larger size then shrinkin it via edit ' free transform '

if so dont use free transform rite click your layer and click convert to smart object then ctrl and t and you will get a cross over the image

doing it this way wont lose any pixles

you prob know this already but its a tip for any1 who dont

Thanks bud, i got it fixed, or alot better than what it was. I had like a gradient effect on the background image. removing the effects from the background image made a huge difference.
Thanks for the tip, I didnt know that and will remember it

Here is my finnished sig.
