Help on Image Editing Software

[sevenpuddings]

You need to make sure the sizes match. If the picture is smaller than the banner, it will shrink when it's put onto the banner.

Also, I blend images by making sure there is plently of room to work with, and I erase one edge over the other. Then you can use the blur or smudge tool to blend those edges together... does that make any sense at all?

Thanks Jess! It makes a lot of sense!

I found a simple tutorial for blending.

Nim, have you ever considered writing a tutorial? Your icons are beautiful (escpecially the current Sharni one and the KK av you submitted for the contest).

[Nim]

Wow, thanks Liz. That’s a huge compliment. I’ve never considered writing a tutorial, I‘m still learning but I may write one some day.

Thanks again, you put a smile on my face.

How do you blend pictures together in PaintShop Pro X?

Here's another site, it's from Adobe ...

I'm using quite a basic photo editing software package that came with our photo printer - I think it's a Lexmark. Anyway, I tried to resize the picture to the 100 x 100 pixel size that BttB requests for the avatars, but it made the picture go really pixelated and grainy. The picture in question is a screen capture taken from one of the threads here. Is there anyway I can rectify the problem, 'cos it looks awful and I haven't seen anyone else's avatars looking like that :S

Any help would be much appreciated!

First you should crop the picture, than resize it. When you crop the picture hold the shift botton to make it Proportionate.

Grrr! Whatever I do, it still looks really grainy!!! I would've thought that by making the picture smaller, it would be BETTER quality, not worse! Does everyone else's pictures go grainier when they resize them?

P.S. Sorry if I'm a pain, I just can't work out where I'm going wrong!
