I took a picture from the site (the human picture) and made the sword greenish-blue. It was quite beautiful. But no matter what i did, i could not get the picture to 8k or less. How can i get the picture that small?!

You'd need to change it to a .gif or a .jpg.

Watch the size limit (80 x 80 pixel) too.

I use XnView, one thing I will do is reduce the number of colors, from 16 bit to 256 colors, etc.. until I get one that looks nice, and then you can even save it back up at the 16 bit and the size is smaller.

Okay, thank you. My internet has been down since there is a storm here, so i have been messing around with some pictures. I hope my avatar looks good.

No matter how small i make it, it is always "more than 80 pixels by 8 pixels." What did i do wrong???

Well, I see your avatar over there so hard to say.

Although that 80x80 is not talking about the physical file size, but the image size itself. 80 pixels wide by 80 pixels tall is the limit.

I realized how to fix the problem. Now Microsoft Paint is messing the whole thing up. Sorry about that. I'm still tweaking it.

I couldn't make the background color transparent with stupid microsoft paint , but i made it the same color as the forum background. Is that okay?

The only problem is that the forum background is two different colors. If you want to make it transparent, download a trial version of Paint Shop Pro 7 from www.jasc.com. It's easy to do as well.

... oh, i see the problem. I had Paintshop 7, and when i put the CD in my computer, it froze it. As soon as i removed the CD, it unfroze.
