Every time you open a Jpeg file the quality gets worse because Jpegs tend to lose pixels everytime you open them. Which is why JPEG is meant for internet only as it is posted only once.

It's best to save signatures as the following .png/.psd/.tiff those retain it's quality. Plus you need to smart object the file in order to resize it properly or have Illustrator CS3 to resize them.

Yea, JPEG is one of the worst file types for sigs.

Use .PNG, it is much higher quality.

yeah, I use .png too. For photoshop, it doesn't have jpeg. Plus, .psd, which probably stands for "photoshopped", will not upload onto tinypic.
