I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, but I was wondering how you make moving avatars? Like the ones abc and csimania has.

You need a program such as ImageReady or Animation shop.
And Lizzy, nice tutorial.

Hey there, I wasn't sure if this was the right place to ask for help or not but I thought I would give it a try. I'm currently using the Paint Shop Pro x trial and I have NO idea what I'm doing. When ever I put a picture at 100 x 100 it looks to up close. Can someone help?

^Is it the way you're cropping it?

I have no idea, I have no clue what i'm doing. I don't even think I know what cropping means. Sorry, I'm new to this whole icon making business.

You have your settings at percent - hence the reason for the image getting larger.
You need to change it to pixels when you go to resize.

Ok, thanks tuesdaymorning. And when I go to resize it and I type in 100 x 100 the width stays at 100 but the heigth goes to 56 or something like that....what do I do?
Sorry If I sound like a complete idiot. I just have no clue what i'm doing.

^It could be just because of the pic.

It's because of how you're cropping it. The best thing about Paint Shop Pro X is that you can type in your dimensions first hand.
Let's say we have a picture and we go to crop it, and if you look up at your width and height, you'll see something like 345 x 264 and in order to get it to a perfect square, you'll want to change 345 to 264 to match the height. So now you have 264 x 264. So then crop that and then resize to 100 x 100.
And don't feel stupid for asking questions. ;D I'm sure you're not the only one with the same question.

That's great! I have that program and I though I couldn't make icons or graphics because I didn't have PSP 7 or above! I have hope now! Thank you.

Yeah, all of my icons are made in Photoshop Elements. I know it's somewhat easier, but it doesn't have everything CS has.
Thanks.
