Avatar questions

[GePap]

I have a JPEG file which I wish to use as a custom avatar, but its too big.

What is the simplest method to shrink such a file with either paint or imaging, so it fits the Apolyton standards?

[Zoid]

I don´t think you can. You need Photshop or a similar program AFAIK. If you post it here I can give it a go if you want.

[Zopperoni]

Yeamans, attach it and we'll see what we can do for you. And I might add an afro just for kicks.

[spartak]

Yeah - go for the Afro its a great addition to any avatar!

with paint go to: "Image - Attributes"
that comes with a window with the current stats.

Then goto "Image - Stretch", there you can resize the image.

If it's too large in bytes, just change it into a jpeg, and see what it does to the colors. But I think when you resize the picture, the size in bytes will be ok as well.

just be sure neither height or width are larger than 80 pixels.

Paint is easiest.........but it'll probably be more fun to attach it and let others play with it using proper packages.

[Zoid]

Zopper, can you put an afro on my skull? Just so I can see what it would look like

[Zopperoni]

Resizing with Paint sucks, you lose so much of the quality.

Kamrat! Take it!

[Dauphin]

Murray looks better without an afro.

[DrSpike]

Yeah but there is a planned part in MI5 where Guybrush and co travel back to the 70s...............Kamrat has a chance to be a trailblazer.

I wind up Cropping an awful lot from the sides, since every time I Resize an image it turns into mush.

I'm just lucky that my current avatar didn't require any resizing at all...
