Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

I have no idea. I really am no expert on some applications for pictures. I use some programs for design but really have never done much with the resizing of a personal picture.

Hmmm,..well my Corel has a tab named "image" up top, which when I click upon it brings up a drop down menu. On it is "resample", which is the function that resizes pics. Some programs as I recall merely call it resize in fact. From there you can shrink or expand images either by size in inches, or pixels.

Dang,..just realized it's after 1 AM here,..and I have an interview for a new gig tomorrow! Time to lock up and say goodnight.

Well Rue, how did you get your picture to fit on your new avatar?

I used this site at first: http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar/

And then via a friend telling me I could, I saved a picture to my desktop and saved it from there

Damn he was hot!

Some guy told me I looked like him once, but I don't think he meant it as a compliment. Haha. I'll take it I guess, I've been called worse.

I have no clue how to make a picture of myself be smaller to fit on the avatar?

I just upload photos from my computer to my Photobucket account and it will resize them automatically when you copy and paste the link for the lounge avatar. It's very easy and I'm usually instantly confused on how to do this stuff.

Well, since rue already sent me to bed earlier and I haven't gone. I'd best listen to my big sis and mosey in that direction, as well.

 

[rue]

Thanks I will try this out also....

Yeah, the new camera I recieved takes very large pictures so they have to be re-sized for the lounge. My latest avatar I took with it and you could see the pores on my face and old shaving scars and things I didn't know I had. But for better or worse, the photos are very clear at least.

That's how I downsized my avatar. I upload all of my pictures to Photobucket. It makes it very simple to link to them.

That's what I do

Great avatar FL ... it's nice to "see" you

Guess I need a new pic, huh? Better get to work on that...

Man Flipped Lid, you are looking sharp as a razor in your avatar! Classy!

Yeah I am going to do that later...have some business to take care of first!

I still need to get my camera figured out, it just needs for the settings to be set back to a default settings.

There always seems to be this element of "how vintage are you" kind of thing, which I think is a bit unfair considering that not everyone has the money to buy vintage.

I don't think I have ever once come across this, but I hear about it all the time. I own few vintage pieces, especially to wear - I wear a lot of repro and vintage-inspired instead, so if anyone is thinking I'm "not vintage enough," I must not have noticed.

I was just thinking about how some of us here probably reminds one of different family member types so I came up with my version of the "FL Family Album."

AtomicEraTom and Rue -- The older brother or sister who raised all the other siblings.
C-dot -- The bright younger sister who's the family Favorite.
LoveMyHats2 -- The fun-loving uncle who belongs to a lodge. He always visits when the Shriners Convention is in town.

To be continued...

I like that In my blood-relations family, I am a bit of a black sheep.

I have no idea. I really am no expert on some applications for pictures. I use some programs for design but really have never done much with the resizing of a personal picture.

The easy way: Load your picture into Paint. Now, go to Image - Stretch/Skew - and type in the appropriate percentages. With a digital camera picture, 25% is usually sufficient.

A lot of folks knock those who don't wear real vintage, it seems. However, they don't realize that if you're bigger than the average person was then, it's hard to find vintage that fits you. Being a larger guy, I have very little in the way of true vintage clothes, suits, and hats.
