The Avatar Thread

I now boast a screenshot from the video for my favorite BillY Joel song, Uptown Girl.

@cat_sidhe I love your new avatr!

That's where I got mine from, I think. I just cropped it. My banner I messed around with slightly. But I love it. Thank you. I feel less sad. For now.

Sorry to hear you feel sad. Hope it will fade away fast

@cat_sidhe where is your Loky (lucky) avatar?

@The Rodent can you help me out? I'm trying to use an animated gif and it looks fairly sharp when in larger size. But when I resize it by cropping it, the image gets soft and fuzzy. How do I keep it sharp?



If I could just get that image sharper, but how?

Are you actually resizing the image, or are you just cropping it?

Also, what program you using?

Both. First I cropped but it was still too large to animate at MoFo, so I had to resize it some.

Ah, it's because it's ezgif that it goes blurry.
Online sites tend to squeeze the file size.


Post the original image in here and I can make a crisp and clear one for you

Can you crop it like the first example?

Here's the original file.

Giz 10 mins, will have a play.

Oh no worries, no rush

Old one



New one
It's slightly faster/smoother as well. For some reason, the original gif has frames that are out of time-sync with the other frames so I fixed the timing.

That looks great! Thanks Is it possible to slow it down some? I like animated gifs that are a bit slower.

Have slowed it to the same speed as the original, but is a bit smoother than the original.

Thanks Rodent, you're the best

But @Citizen Rules! there is no banana at your plate

Ha! that's a really old user title. I can't think of anything better than Bananas so it stays

It's very good word to say. I like bananas But I would expect that on your avatar I would see this fruits. Surprise!
