I've just acquired a Cybershot 3.2 after some good advice on the forum, but find editing a pic so it is only 6 k, for posting as an avatar, almost impossible. How can some avs be big, colourful and even animated when all I can do is cut off half my face and go black and white!?
Some people use links to animated GIF images as their avatars.
Like this one :
I can't help you with an animated image, Boss, but if you want to send me a personal message, i will "pm" an email address to you. You can then send me an image, and i'll photoshop it for you, and you can use that image.
Lemme know, i'm happy to help, if i can . . .
That would be VERY kind of you, I will do that shortly.
IrfanView, a free, easy-to-use, yuckware-clean image manipulation utility, readilly allows resizing.
Thank you Timberlandko! There has been an ominous silence from Setanta since I sent him a space-hungry pic, so if he has collapsed under the strain, I'll avail myself of the IrfanView
Not fair, Miss Clary . . . as of 12:30 p.m., EDT, there was no e-mail from you. I've gone back to my e-mail (i'm at work, and can't just run over there whenever), and now have your message. I'll get an image for you as soon as i can.
Right now, I'm featuring Walter's new avatar, and as soon as he tells me he's copied it for his use, i'll put up your new image, and instruct you in how to copy it.
Then i can go back to using a dog avatar, picture of Creation's most Divine Handiwork.
Walter's such a cutie! (Yes I know this reaction was predicted, but still...)
Is it still the case that if we browse the avatar gallery we lose our uploaded avatar?
Miss Clary, check your e-mail, image sent . . .
Yeah, Soz, i had seen the piccie before, so i knew how the girls would go for it . . .
That Walter.
Whadda doll.
I've been working on this avatar for Montana for some time now. It's supposed to be a surprise, but I suppose I can give you all a preview.
So, do you think she'll like it?
Clary - are you ready to model your new avatar? (I hear that it's been sent to you.)
Alas, it hasn't arrived yet, so I will continue to glower over a blank page at the world in black and white for a while!
hmmmm, where has it gone? the tall fella sent it hours ago.

Very flattering, but I think I'll stick with the avatar I have now ;-)
Is that you, Montana, or a black-and-white person I should recognize?
Well, I never claimed to be an artist. At least I gave you nice, perky breasts. And I accentuated your senses of smell, taste, sight, and hearing.
