How do you guys get your avatars looking so good?

When I resize my photos down 150*150 pixels and save them to be less than the max file size they come out looking I'm trying to hide the face of a criminal on the 6 o'clock news.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't know, but I have wondered what the hell yours is supposed to be. :?

Perhaps some of the avatars were entered before the new limits came in.

One thing I do is crop the sides of the pic around Mitchell, as much as possible, before resizing. :smt102

What program are you using to resize your image?

The one i use offers a sliding scale for quality, if you are given the option, make sure it's always set to 100%.

Mind you, once you have resized your image once you shouldn't resize the resized image (if that makes sense) - always start again using the original.

PS - Nice beaver ;)

A Meer Cat. One of the coolest looking animals I have come across.
