I might try myself, but I might need your help. all I have is photodeluxe. The problem there is it seems to increase the file size when I use that program.

I need to get a scanner first. I might use a picture of me on top of a mountain. I'm an avid hiker.

ack... the off-topic forum here is one of the best I've seen anywhere. Posts there really should count.

Oh, no. They don't count Off-Topic!? I'm never going to reach my 500 limit

Well, while waiting for that limit to be reached...I have a lot of time to think about my future custom avatar...

Sure thing pal!

Holding a grudge for disagreement in politics is silly. The worse thing that could happen is that i would think your views are stupid.

So?

Even people with really bad personality I forgive... but not forget.

What would you want?

I don't know what a skank is, but I searched google and... here what I got on the first page of "skank".

You gotta love it

Question:
How does one make one's background transparent? You know, if one's avatar is a shape other than a square... I have PSP7.

You have to either erase everythign around it, or highlight the entire object which you want to keep, and paste it to a new image.

There are 2 tools that will help with either process, the "magic wand" which will select large areas of the same colour, and the "lasoo" which lets you select an area to delete/copy with a free-hand tool.

Also, the areas you have selected will stay if you hold down shift while outlining the other areas which you want to highlight.

Ah, well. I like my little pirate dude.
