Hi

For those who have created avatars, how do you create these? Do you need special software? I would love to have one for my kitties. They add alot to your postings.

Do you have PaintshopPro? You must resize a pic to 60 x 60. Upload this to place on the web (photobucket, imagestation, your web-site). Then upload that URL to your UserCP on Pet Talk!
If you cannot do this, just e-mail me your pic, and I will resize it for you!

I have photoshop elements. I may be able to do that in this program. How do you get the various pics to scroll and change?

Michelle made my avatar,but now she is incognito,having moved to Italy.
I hope you can get your Avatar,as I would love to see it.

Really all you need is a graphic editing program that allows you to resize images.

You can even do it with MSPaint if you want. Some good and FREE image editing programs are

- GIMP http://www.gimp.org/
- Photo Filtre http://www.photofiltre.com/

I Have just learned how to do this myself and maybe I can help you when I am not so frizzeled on the brain... (Had company all day).. You DO have to make many different pictures.. I will have to make some to show you.. I use paint Shop pro 8 animation shop and it automatically makes them for you when you put all your little pictures in there....

Here is one I made last night.

REMEMBER... I am a beginner myself!
