Larger Avatar

[Black Fire]

Every time I try to find an avatar, it's always too big. At first I thought to just keep looking, but then it just got fustrating.

Re: Larger Avatar

Maybe try resizing your avatar choice(s) in MS paint or photoshop. I had to shrink mine down in order to meet the size restrictions.

Re: Larger Avatar

I should of thought about that. Thanks for the suggestion! But still, some pictures just don't look as good when you shrink it.

Re: Larger Avatar

Very true. I guess just see which image ends up looking the best at a reduced size.

Re: Larger Avatar

Know any websites where I can find a lot of good ones?

Re: Larger Avatar

I'd use the image search option on google. Just plug in a search term for something you're interested in, and see what comes up.

Re: Larger Avatar

not upping the dimensions or sizes for avatars, since they're stored on the pavilion server.

Re: Larger Avatar

If you want me to, I can shrink it down for you. I'm pretty good at shrinking stuff down and preserving the original image.

Re: Larger Avatar

Just use Photogadget's Picture Resize Tool to resize any image. Its up for a free download at www.download.com.

I'm glad there's a restriction on ava sizes. I can barely tolerate some people'e huge sigs, much less avas if they were given the chance.

Re: Larger Avatar

Oh yeah, and imageshack.us gives you the option to resize the image right as you upload.

Re: Larger Avatar

Re: Larger Avatar

Okay, I have none of the software you guys mentioned. Can you resize pictures on iPhoto?

Re: Larger Avatar

You should have Microsoft paint, that is if your computer isn't a restrictive mac.

If you have to, just use imageshack (link listed above). They have an auto-resize tool when you upload.

Re: Larger Avatar

Restrictive Mac. LOL. Wow.

Anyway, The Gnu Image Manipulation Project has an open source rival to Adobe's Photoshop.

Re: Larger Avatar

I've been having another Pavilion member shrink down the avatar that I choose for me. But everytime he shrinks it down it still says its too big even though its not.
