Um... how do I make a large picture small enough for an avatar. I wanna use one of my dads dental x-rays.

You should be able to use your photo editing software (The Gimp, Photoshop, etc.) to resize it to 100x100 pixels, save it under a different name to not replace the original then you should be good to go.

start-->run--> mspaint [enter]
open image
image-->attributes

save

Just remember that scaling the pic down can distort the image, which is never fun.

Not if you use the same percentages and you don't shrink a highly detailed picture to 50x50.

Percentages, duh! but esp. in Paint, for some reason everything gets distorted. Woot Woot! for HDTV!

MS Paint has one of the wirst scaling algorithms or whatever on the planet.

Personally, I like ByLight 20/20 (it's freeware), but I just can't really find a download anywhere. I have it, I just don't know where I'd gotten it.

Anyone else heard of it?

Oops, yes, I forgot about that little detail Confused

. What was I thinking? 20/20's homepage used to be www.hotfreeware.com. Heh. Other than the ads, it works pretty well for me.

Yeah well um... for some reason mspaint just dissapeared from my computer, not the first time it's happened.

Virus's didn't cause this it started happening before I got internet (my familys behind times. I don't have cable, AC, or until last week a doorknob (don't ask))

Maybe it's that my parents against all my advice got a dell because my neibor who has one sais it runs well.

Anyway photoshop is to expensive for us, what we have is dell image expert can i do it there?

Hehe, no. :biggrin: The point was that I hit the ball exiting out the window in your avatar. :)

Try running "pbrush" and see if that works.

Whew... that's a releif

Super Speler · Posted: 09 Dec 2005 03:17:38 pm Post subject:

Nope... Oh well, I'll just blame dell.

I'm gonna starting building my own all-powerful supercomputer homebrew the second schools over and I can get a job.

Then I don't have to worry about crappy dell failures.

I think the owner of dell should burn in New Jersey.
