How to make avatar BIGGER?

[LEECH21]

I see a lot of avatars that are bigger than my own. Just curious if anyone knows how to size them to make them BIGGER. Thanks LEECH

You need a photo editing program like paint or something and just resize the picture like you would any other. Be careful not to make it too big as I am sure there is a limit.

By the way, congrats on your sturgeon success. I was following your saga as I too have been dreaming about catching some monster sturgeon.

[LEECH21]

Thanks Murph, the sturgeon up on LOW are a blast. It will for sure become a once a year trip. I'm already looking at the calendar for next year. If you have never fished for them, I highly recemend it. My arms were sore for a few days! Not real difficult to find them either.

Do you think the paint program that came with my computer will work?

[MURPHFISHER]

Yea, that will work fine. Open your current avatar with paint and select the "stretch/skew" function under the "image" tab. play around with the percentage until it looks good.

I had better plan a trip up there for next spring.

Got the bigger thing worked out...now I need to figure out how to get the numbers off of the bottom of the pic??? I'm using imageshack if that helps...anybody?

I took off the numbers. How's that?

Good Fishin,

Thanks Matt! I was just working on figuring that out. I opened an account with photobucket and was going to try it with that and "magically" the numbers were gone! I did a "properties" inquire on my avatar and saw it was now under mattjohnsonoutdoors. Figured that you gave me a hand. Thanks again Matt.

[Matt Johnson]

Not a problem. I just used a crop editor and cropped off the numbers and then I slightly re-sized it and put it on the server my website is on.

That's a nice bass!

Good Fishin,

Matt Johnson

[LEECH21]

That bass could be the same bass you're holding in your avatar. Waconia....by the island= 22 inch largie!

[Matt Johnson]

Mine wasn't caught in Waconia by the island

Yep, they are about the same size...

Good Fishin,
