I'm trying to make this my new avatar but am having difficulties reducing it to fit. I reduced it to far below the requirements and it was barely a spec and it still said it was too big.

You probably won't be able to read the text, but it is now 150x150. Just "save image as" and upload as normal.

I can change it if you want. Les' reduction looks promising.

The settings need to be changed to 200x200 and 50KiB.

My vote is for door #2 I think it shows the gun off better. But either one will be better than whats there now. That guy just has a blank stare to him.

Hope you have much better luck than I had.

It took me many months on and off to finally get it accomplished.

Some nights I would spend a good 2 hours on it.

Then one night, after another hour or two, it finally worked, lol.

I like the orange one.

Try it now. As a photograph, I like the leather one. As an avatar, the orange will look better.

Thanks Dave, I tried them both and you are right. The orange one makes a better avatar even though the other one is a better picture.

Now I'm not sure. The leather background is better after I lightened it a tad.

Looks good to me but I might be just looking for a pay raise.

I had a rotator cuff injury about 20 years ago and it was not fun. Take care of yourself and have another cup of coffee.

About the most useful info I got from the doctor was "it's the shape of things to come at your age." I rarely go to doctors, don't have much use for them...last time was 2011 when I took half my finger off roping a big cow. Stitched up on a Sunday and Badger and I were back to work on Monday. Didn't rope for a couple of weeks though. This shoulder is an inconvenience though.

I didn't have surgery and instead went to therapy for six painful months.
