I have a problem working with avatar creation. I'm not a creative person so I usually cut and paste.. . So far the Metallica logo i resized, I put 100 pixels on the width and saved it. Doesnt look bad at all.

My real avatar is the serious sam logo in neon....nice huh?

Its resized to 100 by 102 pixels....2 pixels off....allowed?
I cut off the edges carefully the slightest red was the edge....but i hate to take off more.....

Theres one more thing. I asked an artist friend about it and told me in photoshop to choose layers or something. The picture is really a screenshot, but are there still layers? Any ideas?

Hiya Nick,
Unfortunately if it was originally created in PS you would need the .psd file instead of a screenshot to isolate the neon and use a black background with it.
If I get some time I'll mess around with what you've posted and try and add a black background to it

~Peace

That is a welcome compliment welcome anytime....hehe

By the way that motto i say, i wanted to use the peeved smilie but the name is in p i s s e d....it gets muted instead of showing it. It needs to be renamed..

But that exploding smilie look good too...a fiery explosion would be perfect

i agree have been using irfanview since late 97...top class

ms paint in xp does gifs and jpg's


i hope this place hasnt got that stupid no attachment policy that UTC had
whats up with this:
The image that you have attached is too big. Please make it no bigger than 550 x 0.
bit of a waste of time optimising my screenshot to 2097152 bytes
just to find that....



plz say it isnt so....

maybe its just a bug in the php...
pretty sure i noticed that avatars are 130x130 max
