Can anyone tell me how to reduce the size of the signature.I created it using photoshop

In photoshop go to file> save for web. In the window that pops up you can flip to the "optimized" section to see how it looks with the different forms of compression.
Gif is good for solid colors and jpeg is better for smooth gradients and photographs and such. Just try reducing the quality as a jpeg until you start seeing a noticeble decrease in image quality and then try stopping in a place that doesn't effect the image quality much. 60 is usually a decent setting for quality/size. Down at the bottom it will tell you what size the file will be with the current compression settings.

Copy merged (cntrl+a and shift+cntrol+c) and paste and resize and crop or copy and new. BTW use .pg for all sigs =)

Yep, what foolakadugie said (damn foolakadugie knows so much!).

And I think by...

you wanted to say .png


I don't usually go to "Save for Web...", I just lower the quality. But I suppose that I am doing it wrong.

I have been on a roll today, but that isn't always the case


Well I don't know if there is really any WRONG way of doing it, as long as you get the job done
The save for web feature can be helpful since it gives you a preview with the compression and
also has more options for getting your images as small and optimized as possible.

Ahh that's reassuring; because sometimes I find the "Save for Web..." method ended up with larger file sizes. But as you said, it is much easier to use "Save for Web...".
