Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

The sharper I make it, the crappier it gets...

If you can try with this one too, then I choose the better.

Many thanks in advance.

Remember when I talked about sharpness, the problem is that I want the sphere to appear like a sphere and the shield with the castles and the little shields visible (their white spots).

 

[LLXerxes]

I think the ones you have now is pretty sharp...

Yes they are the better I can do, the only thing that misses is somebody to put them in 70X70. I cant very well because I dont have compression tools or special light effects.

My sincerest condolences to you Lyoness.

Many thanks Plexus, you are in my sig

But how do you do it? Compression tools?

I do this question because my png´s have always 8-11 KB!!! And even putting in gif, they are always between 4,05-4,30 KB

Most importantly, I would like to offer my condolences to Lyonesse, that is sad news indeed.

The rest of you seem to be doing a good job in her absence, so I was wondering if you could resize/avatarize these images, please?

In the second image, is it possible to get a version with the sword isolated?

@Raen: Photoshop CS has some pretty good compression algorithms... and you were saving your .pngs as PNG24 (24 bit colors and opacity levels) instead of PNG8 (256 colors and one level of transparency)... IE doesn't even display PNG24 transparency correctly for that matter.

 

[Raijer]

Tallanas, here are the resizings (with the first image also isolated as per your request). As usual, the image that best fits the dimensions of the basic CFC av (the last one) works best, IMHO. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like

Edit: I also added an anti-aliasing outline on the second image, so how it looks is kinda dependent on what forum skin is being used. I can get rid of it if you'd like, though it may look a little jagged as a result.

 

[Tallanas]

That's excellent - thank you, Raijer!

Ahh ok, many thanks for answering, with 256 colors png´s low to more or less 4 KB. I dont have Photoshop for compression, I will try to find a compression tool
