Photographs for TSF Custom Avatars

Further to my article on converting photographs into avatars, I have just added 50+ photographs suitable in file size & image size for use as avatars. They all comply with the TSF specifications.

I have given a 'public domain' notice for anyone who qualifies for a custom avatar to use them.

The following thread refers:

http://www.techsupportforum.com/articles-tutorials-reviews/new-article-submissions/224326-photographs-avatars.html

Just help yourself if any takes your fancy...

Donald is a man of many hats, only a small % that we have seen thus far. Definitely a valued asset to TSF!

Re: Photographs for TSF Custom Avatars

Blush....

Thanks all but after several decades of working, I have had several career changes. Jack of all trades but master of none?

Now an old fart, retired for many years and having fun with a computer and helping other folk where & when I can - I also get a lot of help from you folk too.

Thanks

Re: Photographs for TSF Custom Avatars

Now, I have a question regarding the avatars:

When I try to scale my picture (with M/S Office Picture Manager) it keeps the aspect ratio to the original. But what if I do not want it to scale? Like: if I wanted to make it 100x100 instead of the 83x100 it is now and do not want to crop, what do I do? I know that it'll be distorted a bit, but since it's so small it probably won't matter too much.

Re: Photographs for TSF Custom Avatars

Hi beefers
With MS Office Picture Manager, I regret that I could not see any way to set a the resize to rescale an oblong into a square.. The only way to make it square is to crop it.

My recomendation is to get Gimp or Picassa which I believe will do the job. I do not have either.

If it is just one or two pictures that you want converted, PM me and I will give you may email address to send them to me & I will do them for you.

Re: Photographs for TSF Custom Avatars

thanks, but never mind about that. I'm fine with the pic I have now. I was just asking.
