How do you guys make avatars with cool features and cool colors and yeah all that stuff lol. Do you have a program or something? I was just curious.

Are you talking about this type of thing?

Yeah and different stuff like that, ones like the one MANDA!!! has too are good examples.

Casey (CityofLove) is good with that. I think she has Paint Shop Pro like me or some other photo program.

^yep I use Paintshop Pro 10 to make mine.

I use Adobe Photoshop CS2 to make mine, but it's very expensive. Paint shop pro is pretty good, and is a lot cheaper to use.

Your current avatar is great

I LOVE the avatar of Martina at the today show shown a few posts up!!! Whoever made that is extremely talented!

Thanks

Is there any free programs you can download to make good avatars?

Nope, I'm sorry Cath.

oh too bad. ..

Oh I'm sure there are free programs that will allow you to make avatars, they might just not be as fancy or advanced as the professional ones that have been mentioned in this post. You'd just have to do some research online Cath!

I think that there is a program called GIMP that is free...I am not sure though.

okay thanks guys.

oh well I'm sure I don't have any talent at making avatars! ha.

This is where you can get GIMP. http://www.gimp.org/

It is free and works similar to Photoshop, but has a few less features is all. I use it and it works for me.

I haven't made my own avatar yet, though. There are so many good ones already uploaded that I just pick one I like.
