It was mostly camera work when I took the photo and then the shrink down as an Avatar.


Heres how you can make your own avatars

1) Double click your original photo file to open Windows Picture/ Fax Viewer.
2) Right click the photo and click on EDIT- this will open "Windows Paint"
3) Click on 'IMAGE' at the top in the tool bar then click on "Sketch/Skew"
4) In the "Sketch area change the values to say 50% Horizontal 50% Vertical and the enter.
5) If you like what you see then save the file if not hit 'CTRL+Z' and repeat from instruction #3 above.

Pretty easy... one of the guys in OT taught me this a few weks ago...now I am a Avatar making freak!

Thanks DoubleNutz,

Now I may rotate mine more frequently; hopefully not on an hourly basis. Now if only my mechanical skills could improve that easily...
Sublimate hit it on the head with the "note to self", back to work...
