I just figured out that a color blind person can not edit a color palet. I wiped out half of her eyes.

It'd be amazing if someone could resize that for me. I don't have Irfanview anymore since we got the new computer.

Ya know, you can use paint to resize things...

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Paint isn't the best for resizing things.

I can't seem to get these reduced to the size limit of 4 kb (70x70 is no problem). I've tried these with Infranview, and with no success. They come out as a pixel mess before reaching 4 kb.

Not trained on computer, chef by trade, and envy you all. Been trying to get an animated avitar, but don't even have photo shop and photo impact has consumed hours of my time to no avail, not to mention frustrating as all get out. Through serches for help I stumbled upon cfc and truly amazed at what I saw in the threads. Anyway, I have ideas of what I am after, but seriously lack the tools and skills to make them a reality. If anyone has the time or is so inclined as to help, please let me know and I will get in touch.

Thanking you in advance,

Mark

I am fairly certain that animated avatars are not possible around here - I have never seen one, at least. You could still get a top-notch custom avatar, although you have to wait 30 days and have 30 posts to use it.

Animated avatars are not allowed on this site.

Just so you know.

Thank you both, I was afraid this thread was not checked to often, for your quick response. Actually, it would not be for this site, forgive me, but didn't even know what cfc was until today. With my addictive personality, a new and envolved computer game is not what any sane doctor would prescribe. I am looking to use on another board that I just found and enjoy. With that said, I have been going thru the old thread for hours.....you all are amazing. Years of posts, lots of talant. What I am thinking of is a sterling silver ball, which would seem to be rolling forward (towards oneself) with the effect of passing clouds reflected on the uppermost of the sphere, therefore giving the illusion of motion. Any takers? I understand that first born and virgins are accepted by some, others recognition in sig, others a heartfelt thanks...

I unfortunately for you do not get into animated avies... they are not allowed here so I have never messed with them..

I have no idea whatsoever on how to make an animated .gif. Would you like to provide some specificiations (i.e. pixel size, file size) so we can make you a static one?

here's a random silverball on different settings (you may or may want a different base image)

(100x96, about 7K, .png)

)70x68, 4K, .gif)

if you switch to the black skin, you'll see that the transparency on these isn't that great

Hey ybbor, I knew that you, Mistfit (w/t!) , our the queen Lyonesse herself, would come to my rescue. ((Where has Rij been?))
That is exactly the right dircetion with the silver ball/clouds idea. Perhaps I will try to send a different picture to impose,,,dunno if I can,,,but will give it a shot. Umm... okay, that might take me a bit. I'll get on that in a few hours. But thankyou thankyou thankyou for taking the time to get me this far....

 

[MarineCorps]

Can someone resize that to 80x80 no more the 6kb?
