It's time for Christmas avatars.

[Mesz]

Meh, I have a problem with avatars for this site.

1. The maximum resolution is too small so when I go to find pics on google they're all over the maximum resolution so since I dunno how to use my Photoshop i have use paint. To get the image to 50x50 pixels i have to now select it and minimize the image which pixelates the hell out of it and just makes it a small messy blob of pixels.

2. I can't save the file as anything other than jpg because bmp will be too big and gif will mess up the colours

Helpz....

 

[NeptuneUK]

use .png!!!!

What's wrong with jpgs? I don't see a mind numbing difference...

 

[NeptuneUK]

if you save a jpeg in paint you will

 

[CyberPitz]

if you save a jpeg in paint you will

I see a difference, but not one that will drive a man crazy!..

unless it's of a nekkid woman.

That's what happened with my green frame... I don't know how to fix it. It actually didn't look that bad in paint, just in the GIF animator.

I guess I missed what happened....

Yea paint + jpeg = crap quality.
I describe the process I use to make avatars here.
Editing the picture before saving it isn't that hard - photoshop has similar tools to paint (pencil, paint bucket, etc).

I wonder why the first instinct when making a Christmas avy is to simply put a santa hat on it... :/

It's easiest and gets the point across

I would dress up my cow in an entire santa outfit if I had the photoshop skills. He'd even have little gold buckle hoof shoes.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Do it. FFS learn the photoshop skills dammit.

Yuletide > Christmas

Christianity began to dominate Paeganisim at the time when Christmas was first created. The Christian church pretty much stole what was a Paegan celebration of the winter solstace (yuletide) and turned into a celebration of Christ. What we celebrate as 'Christmas' today was just a yoink on behalf of the christian church, It's actually called Yuletide.
