Snipshots

[Mrs. Muddled]

Okay. This all started when I tried to change my avatar. Obviously I have a lot of free time on my hands today. Deal with it.

 

For the life of me I can't upload an avatar. I can't seem to get my various animations and pictures into the acceptable size. I despair.

 

So I hit Google and discover a program on the net called Snipshots. I use Firefox, so I downloaded the special Firefox download.

 

I have absolutely no idea where it went. It looked like it had downloaded. It said it would appear when I started Firefox the next time. It lied. Nothing happened.

 

What the heck am I doing wrong?!!! I mean, this isn't brain surgery - it's just a teeny, tiny little program that is supposed to make reducing the size of an animation simple - so that I can easily change my avatars!!! How difficult can it be?

 

So, when you have absolutely nothing better to do - pop in to the Snipshot website and download the Firefox helper and tell me what happened. All I want to know is how to get that little avatar off the Snipshot background and into MY PICTURES folder so that I can upload it to TCH.

Edit any picture on the web with one right-click.

Did you try to right click an image to see the new menu option to edit in snipshot ?

Its pretty cool

Only problem is you cannot upload your avatar to the forum because uploads are turned off. Upload the avatar you want to use to your own website and put the link to the avatar in the settings on this forum.

Thanks Bruce. To the rescue as always. I uploaded it to Photobucket. Obviously the detail is lost in the drawing when the cartoon gets reduced in size. I had reduced it to 100 x100.

 

 

Don: I have just discovered something. The Slipshot program only works with pictures on the internet. I was right clicking over animations etc that I have in my files. I guess that doesn't work. Also, did you manage to get Slipshot to show at the top of your screen? How did you do it?

A better way to edit images on your computer if you do not have an image editor is IrfanView

a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista.

 

To edit animations you will need a program that creates and edits animations.

Thanks Don. I use Irfanview. Thanks for reminding me that I have Gifworks too. I forget as the years go by and I don't use these programs. Sigh. Gettin' old is for da boids!
