Re: Got Avatars?
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?

Re: Got Avatars?
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.

Re: Got Avatars?
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.

Re: Got Avatars?
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...Mystik Tomato wrote:"I'm the Ringmaster."
