Hey Sasha, I PM'd you this but you didn't reply, probably because I should of posted it here. If I use a image from Getty Images (their pics are all the same size and big), how do I make an avatar, by just using the face, with part of the neck and jersey? Everytime I try to reduce the size, the image looks blurry.

You still might have to resize it. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting bhavin:</div><div class="quote_post">Do you use brushes or filters?

Ask Sasha? Ok: What gender will my first born be? Just kidding. I don't have a specific question for my own use, but since everyone is asking so much from you Sasha, I wanted to give you something to talk about: What is your favorite effect to use and why?
Female. Hmm, that's a toughie, there are so many good filters out there. I would say the Motion Blur, it can enhance any kind of images.
Do you know which colors tend to cause greater increases in file size? I've recently wanted to try animations and so far have only succeeded in creating one that was under 100kb (which basically involved a black/white/gray background with relatively few other colors. The animation was something like 8 or 9 frames though. I know yellow/green tends to, but would you happen to know? Or is there a way to reduce file size I don't know about? I'm using Photoshop and ImageReady btw The animated sig is the jason kidd one here: http://www.justbball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20164
Brighter colors tend to make a graphic higher in size. JUSTBBALL DOES NOT ALLOW ANIMATIONS IN AVATARS/SIGNATURES! Please read the guidelines.
I am a beginer and have a question that may seem stupid to you...How do you make a border on a sig or av....
Select the outermost parts of your graphics while only leaving one pixel on the outside, and go to Edit>Stroke. Choose a 1 pixel border, and your choice of color, preferably black.
This is my post from the rate the avatar thread, and I had a few questions: I tried to add horizontal text on the left, but something was wrong with my Acknowledge text. The spacing between the letters made itseem like it was double spaced some how. I was wondering if you would know how to fix this And how do you scale a pic to 80 x 80 without scaling it for 10 hours. Each time I type in 80 x 80 at the top, the dimensions mess up? Thanks
Ok Sasha, time for me to ask a serious question. I have a corporate logo that I want to jazz up. The effect I want apperently can't be used on fonts specifically. Is there some way around this, or do I have to trace the font and use it as if it weren't a preset?
