Oh yes... you must convert file types, not just change the file extention.

Rookie. If you don't have a picture editing program, download this free one: www.irfanview.com/After you install this program, open up your screenshot. Then click on "file", "Save as" -name the picture in the bar, then under that bar there is another one that gives different file types- select "jpg" then "save". If you would like some help with any of these things, let me know. We can get on Teamspeak and I can "walk-you-through" them until you get the hang of it.  |

OK check it out I got it this far and it only took me 6 months but I got it finally, with ALOT of help from a Silly Person. How do I make them bigger and get rid of all the black crud around the skins?  Thanks again Silly  |

Somewhere in these threads, Rookie, there is instruction on a map that you can use to view your skins in the granite walled background the others have used, to get a cleaner picture of them (or someone will just remind us how to do it, hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink).

Yeah I looked for that. And that would great if only SOMEONE remembered how that would be great. Thanks Red |

I don't know who this mysterious "someone" is, but until he comes along... www.lamronsplayground.com/maps/physics.pk3Just set your Allied and Axis skins and you will find two dummies standing in the room (three, if you count yourself) wearing your skins. |

Its a custom map. Download it like usual, then start a game on the "phys" map.

You need to start a new private game. From the multi-player room, pick "New Game", pick the game type, then on the next screen pick the starting map. Pick "Phys" from the list and hit Start. This starts a new server with just you in it.

Congratulations Rook, you are on your way! Keep practicing and you will be able to fine-tune the photo editing process to get pictures to do exactly what you want. This photo of my Dad in his one-room-school-classroom, was my first real success using photo editing programs. His nickname was and still is, Moose. 1946 would be my best guess at the age of the original photo.  I put the antlers on him after I had cleaned up the entire photograph for a family reunion. This photo was in bad shape. It had creases and water-spots all over it. Took me about 2 hours to restore it to "like-new condition". Took me an additional half hour to add my special finishing touch with the antlers. I haven't been able to find an inexpensive photo editing program that I can use to crop "free-hand", after my downgrade to Windows Vista.  |
