DemiMatt said:Hey Red Scarlet and gaf, I was wondering if my avatar was safe. Although it is fnot from the new wave of juniors I have had this avatar since I joined gaf. I originally used an avatar from a fellow member who had not gotten the same logo as mine, but I am currently using this one and I would love to not have a text based avatar please. If its possible it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Why, what did I do again? I thought this was a thread for second chance reform and let bygones be bygones. I bet its Dragona again... :/Red Scarlet said:Someone changed it back to that.
I guess there's no second chance for not reading thread titles. :loljrricky said:Why, what did I do again? I thought this was a thread for second chance reform and let bygones be bygones. I bet its Dragona again... :/
Actually, I did read the thread title. But I had confidence with the simple question I asked but it was misinterpreted, clipper rage replied, then dragona smacked me with this curse...Fuzzy said:I guess there's no second chance for not reading thread titles. :lol
If it's any consolation, I told Dragona some time ago that you had probably learnt your lesson and could be paroled (and I honestly didn't know what the dire consequences wouldjrricky said:Actually, I did read the thread title.

Yep.Red Scarlet said:Thanks, we should play L4D sometime again!
Raging Spaniard said:A little guide, this is how I make my avatars:
What I always do is right click on an avatar I know its the right size (hint: pick a mods avatar!) and hit "copy image". Then in Photoshop I click ctrl+n which makes a new image based on the image dimensions you just copied. After that, paste the image you want to use as an avatar in that space and it will (obviously) be the correct size. If the image you pasted onto your avatar template is too big, simply hit ctrl+t to resize it which brings the "Free Transform" tool up., When this tool come sup you have to click and drag one of the corners of the image to resize it, but MAKE SURE you're holding down the Shift key while doing so, or it will change the aspect ratio of the image (you don't want that happening) hit Enter when you have the size you want
After that, don't save normally, click the "save for web" option instead and you'll get something that has a very small memory file size.

I'm gonna tell you something that will change your life... because I cannot believe you've been making avatars this way all this time. :lol
Open your image in Photoshop. At the top of the screen, click Image, then click Image Size and resize the image to how large you want it. Then, to the left select the Crop tool. It looks like this.Once you have it selected, there will be a series of tool options for the crop tool at the top of the screen. Set the width to 90 and the height to 120. Select the section of the image you want for your avatar, then hit return/enter.![]()
All done. No free transforming. No copying the size of a moderator or anyone elses avatar. You've done it yourself. ^_^
