As you see in my av, the text is all funky. Well, the whole image is.

I saved this image as a jpg in Photoshop.

When I uploaded it to BWW it got all messed up. Yet, when you click on it to "enlarge" it, it looks fine.

The thing is, the size of it was never changed - only the quality.

I even tried uploading it in Photobucket and save it...didn't work. Anyone know why?

I also wonder if this can be fixed not only for this av, but for others.

Thanks.

Not sure but I get the same problem all the time when I make buddy icons for aim. It always pisses me off. Usually I just use the paintbrush and make hte letters more bold and stuff. If you zoom in its easier. I don't think it has anything to do with the site.

Hmmm...I wonder if it has to do with the size of the image?

I don't remember this happening before...at least not on BWW.

Try making an icon exact size and saving with the highest jpg compression.

the icon should be no greater that 100 px wide. a good size is 100x130

Thanks Craig.

It is now a perfect 100x130 but still distorted.

This would be a good mystery to solve, I always experience similar problems depite the size of the image 90x90, 100x100...all the same.

Yes. Does it have to do with the file's size?

I generally save everything in jpeg, at highest quality (12?)...I haven't experimented with any other format because it doesn't seem to pose a problem anywhere else except on BWW.

Interesting.

I don't remember this happening with other files...

How SAD!

Well, I guess it makes it more hallucinogenic, huh?

You need to edit the canvas size. When you do that click the button to keep perportions. If you can't figure it out, send it to me and I'll do it for you.
