Oh, all the times that has happened to me...

Sorry for spamming this thread but I thought of a great request and now I forgot it.

I was wondering if anything could be done with this image as a prospective avatar:

I'd like to include as much of the vertical length of it as possible but the narrow width kinda works against it...

 

[cableguy]

like take its clothes off? soz lol

 

[Raijer]

Well, one solution is to simply keep the photo proportional. In this case I can take it down to 45X65, which will be within the requirements.

Edit: double post

Well, prompted by this thread, I've just incorporated my own avatar. I wonder if there's any consensus on colour choices. I note that L's quite subdued compared to some others, mine included. Perhaps understatement is the way to go?

 

[Lyonesse]

I like those colors Looks good to me!

 

[Achinz]

Many thanks for the compliment and for the helpful tips here

That's a good thought. I think I'll play with the sizing this weekend, I might trim a bit off the bottom in order to make the image a bit easier to see. In the meantime I'll use a standby. Thanks for the help!

I was wondering if someone could help me.

I want to try to make this pic into my avatar and I can't figure out how to resize it to the correct size(I feel like an idiot asking this after I have read how to, but???)

it's below 3kb so thats fine.
any help would be appreciated, and no I do not have photo shop.

Here ya go (sorry about the quality, I tried above that, and it was too big):
