« on: January 21, 2010, 09:31:57 PM »
Is it possible to modify a typical .jpg photo file into an avatar?  If so, please tell me how.

Thanks.

A quick way is http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar/ , then you can save it and upload it to an image hosting site. Ex: http://photobucket.com/

If you already have a Photobucket account, you can upload your image directly and use their Edit Image tools which allow you to resize and crop. Good avatars can be 200X200 or 100X100 in size.

Hope it helps!

That's ok guys.
I'm sure it's about 10 posts. If you can't do it after that amount then it must be 20.
If you ramble like me, it won't take you long.
If you have trouble with the siggies, just pm me and I'll help you.

  :thanks: . The gallery is cool. I'll work on my sig later and my avatar is awesome. I'd never seen that pic of Princess Diana before. I may use it temporarily but I really like it a lot.
