Siggy looks great! Avatar needs some help, IMHO.

Yeah, I kinda agree with ya. The original picture shows the shine of my car extremely well but it's lost in the avatar size. Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Cory

I suggest that you maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo. Your car looks all stretched out.

I would crop both of those pics, taking out the beach area in the bottom one which looks kinda strange, and the backround cars in the avatar. There are plenty of programs out there which make this easy, photoshop is too complex for just this simple task.

OK, I changed the picture in my signature. Just a different picture of the cars from that photo session @ the Dunes!

OK, just changed the avatar now! How's this one. Look better? I kept the aspect ratio on this one.

Rotate your sig image 1* to the right and recrop. This will make the horizon straight.

That's what I did here using the photo already in your sig (so I had to crop it further after rotation).

Nice photo BTW. I really like that.

Correction Made!

Wow you are too good Geo... 1* off huh. I appreciated your other comments also on my picture post last week.

I'm learning all these tricks with the camera and the computer, although it is a slow process I'm having a tremendous amount of fun.

Thanks Geo,
Cory
