Um... any tips on making icons?

OK - I'm sure you've all noticed that all of my icons are more or less stolen

The cropping really depends on the dimension of your crop.

What program are you using?

[stern_suedens]

This is embarassing - but I'm using the standard Windows Photo Editor. *hides*

Do you mean that I should define the size of the icon, as I'm saving the image? I see that Picture Manager lets you define in terms of pixels the width and height... would that help? What is the size of an icon?

*is hopeless...*

Yeah that would help a lot. LJ lets you use 100x100 pixel icons. When I crop images I always crop to the same height width... 398x398 for example so that when I resize (in PSP) it doesn't mess it up when I go to 100x100. In PS, you can set it to auto resize when you crop an image so as soon as you crop it will resize it to 100x100

I don't know how windows photo editor works and that might be part of the problem. ;)

I use both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro.

OK - this seems to be a real step in the right direction - I just did one using 100x100 when I cropped.

THANKS BABE!

*smootch*

edit: oops. I mean to say I did THIS ONE (Hamit & Bernie) doing what you recommended, and it looks good! am such a ditz sometimes I can't stand myself...
