How do I get one of these into an avitar? Rennlist says they are too big, over 200x200 pix.

I don't know what happened with the front view picture. Looks like paint blast off all over the place. Must have been a lighting situation. Kevin K. took them so he might know what the deal was.

Looks like clouds in the second one - not bad pics overall, nice shiny car!

You have to resize to max. of 200x200 AND the size on disk (not just the file size, but the amount of space the computer requires on the disk to store the file, which isn't the same) has to be less than or equal to 20K. It's a real PITA to get images this small; try pushing down the resolution to 72, changing the "Picture Quality" slider to about 6, or possibly making them 100x100 or B&W only.

I'll mess with 'em tomorrow if you or nobody else has by then - right not I need sleep.

Porsche-O-Phile, see what you can do on resizing as I'm an idiot on this stuff. Hell, I'm still running Windows 95 on the home computer.

There were clouds that day but we were also working on the car. If you look at the hood at the center you see some white marks. I think those were hand oil prints from shutting the hood. The other marks may be the same as I was under the front end and probably grabbed the nose a few times to pull out.

The car really wasn't all that clean and washed up. That paint is just how good it looks after 16 years, with most of the time in a garage.

Me crop the photos?

Guess you missed the point that I have no clue on what to do here.

I wish Kevin would have taken some more pics looking from the front as the one he got has strange lighting reflections. So we go with *** end as that is a pretty good pic.
