Grrrrrrr.....eetings!!

I'm wolf crazy myself and love everything about them. But I don't consider myself a therian. I looked into it and I don't qualify. I'm just an old fashion wolf lover/ werewolf fan.

Thanks Fig! Good ol' fashioned wolf lovers are still just as grand.

And mmmn, duck....

Welcome, Autumn Sunrise!

I love your avatar--very cute.

I noticed it had quite a few visible artifacts around the edges, so I cleaned it up just a bit. You're welcome to use this version, if you so choose:

Enjoy your stay!

Since I'm working in Linux at the moment, I used GIMP. As for the actual tool, I just used your generic selection tool to pick pixels and delete them. It only took a few moments.

*squeehowls!* Thanks Vilk!! I noticed that too after uploading it, probably happenned when I shrunk the pic down for my profile, but I just felt too lazy to clean it up myself. *laughs* Thanks so much for the favor, and it looks gorgeous! *pops it in her profile*

Also, a big thanks to all for the welcome! You're already making me feel at home.

Oh ok. Thats what I would've done. There is still a few tools in Photoshop I need to to learn. Guess I'll experiment and see what they do. That and read my Photoshop book I bought.

That's odd... the image lost a lot of color and detail... It got compressed by about 50%.

Oops, that was my problem *refreshes* Y'see, my computer, for some reason, MSIE on my computer is set to show any given webpage without full-quality, unless I left click and ASK it to show full-quality. I don't know why it does that or how to change it. For using computers as long as I have, I'm still pretty illiterate sometimes. LOL! So I saved it and uploaded it before refreshing the picture at full-quality. It's fine now. XD

I did a quick Google search on this (because I had never heard of a problem like that), and the only real information I found was that sometimes ISPs will compress images in order to make their services seem faster. This is especially an issue when you use web-accelerators and the like.

So, if you consider it a problem, it's possible that the solution is in your ISP or web-accelerator settings instead of in MSIE. But I couldn't say for sure, as I have never experienced this before.

Yeah, I'd never run into this before until I'd gotten this computer. But...I had never thought of these possibilities! I don't think it's the ISP, but the web accelerator might be the problem. I'll check into that! Thanks so much for the info! Being an image lover and artist, I like seeing things at full res!

Vilkacis · Post by **Vilkacis** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 10:38 pm

Well, the best of luck in getting that resolved, then.

Hi there and welcome! Heh... I'm a newbie myself, so we can probably hunt duckies together.

There is one tiny problem. Its over 10KB by a tiny bit. This forum won't be able to take it unless its shrunken down just a bit.

Lets see what I can do.

Edit.

I forgot it loses detail when you resize it. Oh well. No time to work on it. Gotta take care of a few things. Best thing to do is find a host, upload it there and link to it.

What I don't like is when the "i" becomes an "a."
