Need help with resizing your pictures for your Avatar? Here is some help for ya!!!

cheri · 10-26-2003, 10:57 AM

I have had quite a few people ask me to resize the pictures I have done for them and crop them so they are able to use them for their Avatar.... I am more then happy to help anyone with this. Just send your picture to me at cherilynn8@hotmail.com and I will get it the right size and will send it back to you....

Or... Tom also posted this letting anyone know another way to do it...

Quote:

Here's a tip. As long as you already have a picture that just needs resizing (e.g. you don't need to "crop" the photo or do any other manipulation), simply upload the photo to the new Faces Gallery. The software will automatically create a thumbnail image of your larger image. This thumbnail image will be the perfect size for your avatar (90x90 or similar). Simply save the thumbnail image from the Faces area and then upload it as your new avatar.

But pictures that need cropping won't work for this so as I said... if you need some help... just let me know and I would be happy to help!!! And if you have your picture in your siggy currently I can also grab it from there and use that one...

Also... if you want an animated Avatar... one that shows before and after pictures... or any amount of photos.... I can do that also!!!

to the Faces Gallery, but I am roadkill on the information superhighway, and must have done it wrong.

No matter, though, cause I like my Pooh avatar and we can only have one.

I think your avatar is very cute!! If you ever need to change it and need some help just let me know... or I know there are others here that have been helping as well.

You can only have one unless you make an animation, see my thread about before and after avatars.

Wow teya... I didn't think of doing that. I have made pictures that rotate like that in animation shop so if anyone wants that I can do that as well... just takes me a little longer.

Thanks for suggesting that!

Hi hun... are you talking about the one in your siggy line?? If so I shrunk it down for you and it might be too small for ya... or did you want me to crop you out so it is just you??

Here it is so you can take a look at it!!!

cheri

If you have an alternate picture you want me to put in for ya, just let me know!!!!

karatejen · 10-28-2003, 05:55 AM

cheri,

I found a free animated gif online. How do I keep it animating? When I save it to my computer, resize it, and set it as my avatar...it stops moving. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

LoveMontana · 10-28-2003, 07:37 PM

I'm able to resize and get them in my Avatar but faces page is not working for me.
Every time I go to the faces page and try to log in and upload photos, it says I successfully loged in but takes me right back to the log in screen. Where do I find "upload" and how the heck do I get there?

edited to add this is what I keep getting.

Can you tell my why my granny isn't moving? It works here on my puter, then when I upload it she is frozen. I see other people have gif and they are moving. I'd appreciate a word of advice.

Could it have to do with making it smaller?
