Say, do you think you could ever give your process for making these screen grab avatars? It would be really helpful. :)
How old was that last signature? I mean, really?

I use photofiltre, which is a free program.

Download it here.

I'll take whatever picture I want, crop it to where I want it, then make it the size I want, which for here is 100 x 100. It's pretty simple, really.

The easiest solution is to open Photoshop, resize the image to 100 x 100, and then Save for Web Devices, which automatically saves it at a reduced file size. And still looks nice!!

Yeah, well, I do the same thing, for FREE!

Seriously, you can use photofiltre or photoshop, whichever you prefer.

oh, gotcha... |)

Anyway, yeah, we both basically described the same process. You just have more options with photoshop.

For what I use it for, I think photofiltre works out fine. I think this latest set of avatars I made look great.

thanks for sharing those, Mystik Tomato...I've been meaning to update my avatar for quite sometime now, so I thought I'd just use one of yours...
