I NEED HELP WITH MY AVATAR

But it says ...

It can be 9Kb. I made mine 80X80 then saved for web at 30 quality. At that size it didn't look much different than 100 quality.

 

Jim,
Don't feel bad..

I have been fighting the 'avatar war' for days.......just can't get it small enough...

so it's not just you and hope that makes you feel better..........I'm watching to see if you get yours to work and then will try again for mine......

I think I have it at 80 by 80 and then it enlarges (on its own) and won't work......has me baffled and laughing at the same time.... guess it didn't like the picture I chose. Tried it four times and then quit :lol:

Good Luck!

Gaye

 

Mine is a D2H 3200ISO shot, do you see the noise in it ???

No sir ...

 

HA HA, only 4 times? ;c)

Same here guys. I drove myself nut this AM trying to get my avatar shrunk down. Finally, after 4 times, I quit too! Went back 1/2 hr later, determined not to let this thing beat me, and on the FIFTH attempt, I succeeded. Don't even ask what it was I did to make it work, cuz I dunno!  

 

Avatar service

If you or anyone wants to send me a photo, I'll crunch it into an appropriate sized avatar for you this evening.

 

It took me a long time, too, but I finally got it done by sizing to 80x80 and then going to "Save for Web." I decreased the quality until the KB went low enough, and then went some more. :roll:

Hey guys....

I had exactly the same problem. The difference is, I'm an admin here, so I bumped the max size up a little....   :lol: :twisted:

I can't figure it out and can't make it small enough.. Maybe I'm working in the wrong program..Capture.........Anyway, would love it if you could do you magic on it and send it back on my email..I'm listed in the memberlist..

thanks a bunch!

Gaye

Chris, you'll have to crop some on the sides but feel free to do whatever :lol:

 

Gaye,

Check your email.  

Frank

You've got mail. And thanks for reminding me that I haven't entered my email - I'll go do that.

Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater......shame, shame on you.... :!:

 

Re: Hey guys, Flew's eyes.

I'm tellin' ya. I was wonderin' how he got those huge googley eyes.

 

Re: Hey guys....

I know, I know....  

OTOH, I learned something very important from this thread (from Chris's comment actually), and that is how to set the quality on a 'Save As....' in PSP. All I can say is a big 'DUH!!'.

Thanks Chris (and Bill)...;-).

Frank

 

"I've been avatared'

Thanks Chris and Frank. You two gave me lots to pick from.

Sure appreciate it. Now I'll keep trying to make my own..

Each day I see new things I must learn... just saw a flying hummer on Uncle Frank's post.

Best to you and many thanks!
Gaye
