Avatar pixels?

Post by Rising Dead Man » Sun Aug 03, 2008 3:36 pm

I want to have an avatar for the Christmas forums but it has to be 20 pixels and the only way I know to do that is to make it really tiny. I have to make it so tiny that I can not even see it. I do this with Paint. a picture making thingy on Windows computers. Is there any other way to change the pixels? Please answer right away I need an avatar for the Christmas forums.

Hi,
The minimum size has to be 20 by 20, the maximum right now is 120 by 120. Is that large enough?

What I am saying is how do I change the number of pixels without shrinking the picture to the size of an atom?

what is the name of the softwrae you are using?

Most have a 'Resize' option either in the edit menu or as a button.

Then two window for width and height. I usually only change the larger of the two (the other size will change automatically if the 'keep ratio' option is turned on).
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

If you are using something like Photoshop, you can just have it resize the image to, say, 120 by 120.

20 by 20 is pretty small.
