Posted: 12/2/04 at 9:07pmIt seems like everyone elses User Picture looks so much better than mine, and are much clearer. The Thumbnail always comes out so pixilated. Is there a trick to it? What do I need to do in Photoshop? Any ideas? Thanks!

Posted: 12/2/04 at 9:11pmWhat are you getting out of this? I dont get it.

Posted: 12/2/04 at 9:14pmI dunno... you caught me on a bad day. perhaps it's just your screen. I just got a new digital flat screen and all the icons look so much brighter now...

Posted: 12/2/04 at 9:20pmIm sorry I caught you on a bad day, and Im not sure why you have it out for me. I'm sorry if I have offended you in any way-I just think this putting me down thing needs to end.

You have to size your desired picture to the exact size that it will be shown at. Don't just pick a picture and then change your icon.
You're talking about your icon, correct?

Posted: 12/2/04 at 9:23pmoh, yes, that's a good tip. size it first, don't let the thumbnail thing do it for you...

Posted: 12/2/04 at 9:28pmYeah I did this-and it still made it smaller even though it was really small? I dont know-guess I'll just play around with it. Thanks though. :)

The picture looks quite clear to me. I don't see a problem with it.
I've been having a similar problem with an icon I downloaded and hoped to use for the holiday season (a peace sign wreath...not that easy to find) but a couple of resizing experiments (maybe I just haven't mastered the concept of how to do it yet...) didn't go well, and the icon remains unusable.
Sigh.

Posted: 12/2/04 at 10:17pmThanks, Elphie, but this isn't the wreath... I haven't been able to make that look good enough to use....yet.
