Avatars are here! - Page 13

LOL, do I have to refresh the page every minute in here!

ok, with brightness slightly increased. This was another quickie... you could spend a long time fiddling with brightness and contrast to get it 'just-so' but... I'm lazy.

mines a bit rough at the edges.

I used Microsoft photo editor to resize it to 64x64 and save as a bmp. Then used paintbrush to "bludgeon it" (make the background all one colour, but this is hard to do around the edges and due to my lazy ness the edges are rough looking). Then re-open in Microsoft photo editor set the back ground to transparent and sav it as a gif file.

Sounds like DrA has an easy way of doing it.

Thanks ProPain, I feel much better now. All that stretching was giving me a headache!

@Col - your avitar is only 50 pixels wide so that is being stretched to 64. Opposite of the problem I was having.

Wow! You guys have done a great job. ProPain, could you make this one the avatar? Until DrAlimentado comes up with the next version, that is.

ProPain · 02-07-2003, 12:01

Col, it's not your drinking that caused you head to swell, it's the fact that you picture is not a square. The forum code stretches/shrinks all avatars to squares. So just add some extra transparent width and you'll be looking fine again.

Ribannah: I'll upload it today after my last business meeting (app. 15:00 dutch time)

Ok - I'll edit the pix so 65x65

Can you delete my other similar pix and use this one PP - and I'll ignore that remark about swollen heads due to drinking. Hic.
