Avitar Help
I'm having problems adding an Avitar. Every one I've tried to add always gets bounced saying its greater than 75 x 75 pixels.
My camera in the lowest resolution is 640 x 480. Then if I open it in one of my photo software programs, it will only save it as small as 160 x 120 pixels. I have the following photo software: Paint, ULead, HP Image Zone, Microsoft Photo Editor, Nikon View, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Any help on how to condense photos would be appreciated. Thanks :mad: |
You should be able to do what you need in Photoshop.
Start with a picture you want. Crop it so the aspect ratio is 1:1...meaning make sure it is a square picture, not a rectangle.... you can crop the area out of a larger pic if you want. Then open the image and change the Canvas Size to 75 x 75 pixels.... save as a .GIF and you should have a good avatar image to use. |

Thanks, but PhotoShop SE 2.0 does not have anything regarding "canvas size". Still stupid and trying |
Do you have an option that says Resize Picture? I am sure that program has one. Look at my Avatar. I did it in Paint Shop Pro 8.1 which is no where near the program that Adobe is.
Ron :) |
No - I cannot find anything in Adobe - probably because its the free starter version, I did find a resize in Micriosoft Photo editor.
Resized a photo and used it - but the results are UGLY. Justy a blur using just a few blocks. Thanks Ron I'll try again ...... |
Tried again ... better but still UGLY.
Guess I'll try to decrease the resolution size before I reduce the pixel size. Maybe that will help. Thanks Ron |
Warren,
The picture is looking better. Now try using the color and contrast enhansment features to make the picture clearer. You may have to do a little experimenting until you get it the way you want it. Ron :) |

Played around with ULead Express Photo that I have used previously to make some cool pencil artwork. To make my new avitar with that software was easy (after spending about an hour:3DSMILE: ). Just resized my jpg photo (from my camera) to approx 1 inch max with 72 pixels per inch, hit apply and save as gif file. Can do one in about 15 seconds with 5 clicks of the mouse. Thanks for help. |

Ron,
How about my new "business card? |
Warren,
Looks great. Once you get used to the photo software, most of them will let you make a good small picture. I believe mine will resize in inches, centimeters, and pixels. Then I can use the enhancement features and several others that I really don't know much about as the program I have goes way beyond my limited ability to understand all that stuff about layers, rasters, grid lines , & etc. But your business card and avatar are really good. Ron :) |
