See my first Photoshop!! I want to make it my avatar, but . . .

[bertha katzenengel]

. . . I can't figure out how to get it small enough.

Do you like it?

[Zuni]

1. Like the cat, but a Baltimore Orioles cap would fit him better

:P

[bertha katzenengel]

2. Dude. I'm a Californian! I like the Os, but the Halos are my team.

Are we going to have to fight about this?!

[Aiptasia]

4. In that case, shouldn't that be a monkey and not a kitty?

Besides, the dodgers are on top this year.

[bertha katzenengel]

6. Oh, man, the rally monkey served its purpose in 02 and hopefully

is long, long gone.

And the Dodgers are indeed on top.

In April. :bounce:

[cleofus1]

8. oh yes

the monkey god smiles at you...

[Zuni]

7. I'll see you on June 25

it won't be pretty :P

[AlCzervik]

3. it's good, at the top tool bar click image

and then resize.

[bertha katzenengel]

9. I did that but still I couldn't get it small enough.

I'll try again tonight. Thanks!

10. Great job!

And what a cute fur baby!

[bertha katzenengel]

17. His name is Harry Truman.

He's my special boy. 10 1/2 years old. :bounce:

[Arkana]

11. The cat's cool, but stick a Boston Red Sox cap on him

and he'd be even cooler! :P

[Zuni]

13. That is a Maryland cat, and he is rooting for the Orioles

[bertha katzenengel]

16. All right, you guys. This is a CALIFORNIA cat, and he roots for the HALOS!

He was born in CA, just like me! And do you know what he did when the Angels won the series in 2002? He hid under the bed because he was so freaked he couldn't believe it!!

[Zuni]

18. I bet the real reason involved a vacuum cleaner

:P

[bertha katzenengel]

20. Ha! The real reason involved me screaming and shouting and crying

uncontrollably. For days.

I'd only been out here two years. The phone rang w/ one out in the top of the ninth in game 7. My whole family was assembled to watch the game and they called to share it w/ me. :cry:

I miss my family and I still can't believe my Angels won the World Series!

But yes, Harry is terrified of the vacuum cleaner... of the pizza man... of the coffee machine...

[Zuni]

25. my cat always hides when the buzzer to my apartment rings

she runs right under my bed in a flash.

The vacuum cleaner both fascinates and terrifies Sooty. She is always sniffing it when it is off.

12. Here You Go...

[Richardo]

14. Nice, arwalden

Perhaps bertha should make the background lighter (white or gray?) so the cap shows better.

Love that 'legacy' cap, BTW, bertha! :thumbsup:

[bertha katzenengel]

22. Yeah, that's a great one, from around 1971-72.

Next time I have $30 to spend frivolously, I intend to buy it. If I can do so w/out guilt.

[bertha katzenengel]

15. Thanks, Allen, but it still won't work.

Actually I had gotten it down to that size, but when I try to upload it, it says "Upload failed...the file you tried to upload exceeds the maximum limit set by the administrator of this site. Please try again."

:shrug:

19. In Corel Photpaint The "Save-As" Dialog Box...

... allows me to set how much compression I want for the image I'm saving. More compression means a smaller file size but a blurrier (or more blocky/pixelized).

Most of the times a small tweak adding just a bit more compression is barely noticible to the casual viewer, but it makes a big difference in file size.

I'm pretty sure that Photoshop has some feature that will let you control the compression ratio. Time to start exploring the help files or dig out the user manual.

Or... I could try to re-compress this image for you. Let me know.

21. Nah, I'll take care of it tonight. Thanks for the tips, Allen,

and thanks for your help. :hug:
