Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 180 by 180 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

Here is 180x180 @8kb

 

My last attempt, this one @180, Leader has us beat but I'm using Freeware. Hehe I get what I pay for.

It's impressive how PS straightens out the front end grill lines, or was that done by rotating?

 

I've got to be a Rennlist Member. That's the problem. The site won't take my credit card and I am done with computers for the day. Thanks all.

 

This is kauia's image. Which is small enough for the unwashed non member. Thanks and I'll figure out how to join.

 

Yipee, I won!

 

Looks good!

And Kurt takes the checkered flag!

 

New in forum, just checking my avatar.

 

Sorry folks,

Checking again.

 

Btw, you can preview how it looks without having to post, in case you didn't know.

 

PS can do all of the above - you just need to know how to drive it.

You need to go to IMAGE / image size

Make sure width and height are set to pixels and not percent and resolution is et to pixels/inch

Set resolution to 72 pixels/inch (this is standard screen resolution for a computer)

Then set width to something suitable for an avatar on this site, like diverdan's, his is 165 pixels wide.

The height will automatically chage to keep the image aspect ratio the same:



You now have a correctly sized image that needs saving in a compressed file format for the web.

Go to FILE / Save for Web

Here you can save the image as a JPEG, set the quality as 50% and look at the bottom left of the window to see the final file size.

Play with the quality slider and save a version that is smaller size than the file size limit on the forum.

Upload this JPEG as your avatar

 

here is an easy to use tool:
