avatar question

I wanted an "exotic" avatar, so I saved some pix from some other sites to my disk and tried to use them. Uh-oh, too big. Phooey! Is there any way I can shrink those pix and perhaps have my "exotic" avatar?

 

[Bonochick]

If you want to send it to me, I can size it for you properly.

 

[Bonochick]

You've got mail!

 

[verte76]

Thanks a million, Bonochick! I love my new "exotic" avatar!

 

[Bonochick]

You're welcome!

Yes...'tis quite exotic.

It's an interior shot of the AyaSofia Museum in Istanbul.

 

[Bonochick]

Cool...you've brought a little much-needed culture into my life.

 

[beegee]

hey BC, are you by any chance using photoshop 7.0 to resize?

 

[Bonochick]

I use PhotoImpact.

I guess it depends on who you talk to.

new avatar request

I didn't know whether to start a new thread or just post in the avatar thread. I want to see if it's practical to use this pic as an avatar. Thanks!

It's a sex-abuse victim from Saudi Arabia. I have just read the most shocking books about the way women are treated there.

Well no one is stopping you from using it if you like

I'm not sure it's the right size. Let me try it but it might get kicked out as too big. That's what happened to my present one at first.

 

[verte76]

Indeed it's too big. I don't know how to change the size of the damn thing.
