RE: Making Avatar pictures 

Does anyone know any freeware programs this guy could use?
Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro are very nice but you have to pay for them..

Anyone knows a freeware program that could do a lot of editing as well?

grtz

I often use a super program called Pixia that's totally free.

Give it a try! It's very intuitive and user-friendly. :)

RE: Making Avatar pictures 

you have to upload it using Image Shack
then it gives you a code. you then have to go into your profile and click on Account Information and scroll down to the bottom and put the code into the bottom box. This allows you to have a signiture.


Maybe someone wants to give a better detail

when you finish you have to "prt scrn" and paste it into whatever image program you use, to change it to a png, gif or whatever.

RE: Making Avatar pictures 

I see you don't have your userbar in your signature yet. To get it there you have to click on your profile, then click on account information and then on the "IMG" and give in the path of your usebar at Imageshack.

RE: Making Avatar pictures 

Heck, I just use MS Paint along with ImageShack to make my avatars. Although when I do a "Save As..." for my finished paint idea, I save it as a JPEG. Most of the time, my Avatars are from GW, used Paint to make the image smaller, then may have used ImageShack to make the picture a URL.

But yeah, my Avatar pwns you all!!! :P
