TM2 Dinobot Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 They look like they've been run over! I really don't mean any offense in that at all. I just find it funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die_fliedermaus Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hey punisher... check your aspect ratio on the software you created your banners with... it looks like the banners got "stretched" or "squished" when they were resized... probably because the aspect ratio was not locked? I am no expert (Luke seems to be)... maybe he can offer advice on how to resize your original work without that "warping" effect on the finished product. Thanks for the submission though... I am sure we can find out how to lose the distortion. Any suggestions, guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 yeah i know, sorry they're not very good... luke you think you could help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 In MS Paint you would take the original image and go to Image>stretch/skew>horizontal/vertical, and a good starting point would be to make both numbers 50. This shrinks the entire image evenly by 50%. Play around with that and see if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I actually don't know Gimp that well, I just knew it was a good free program. I think TM2's suggestion is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I would suggest using a white background as JPG images don't color-fill that well. Buy you'd need to scale both images (MMs and the logo) to fit the size you want, then after it's all said and done, color fill if you so desire. Make sure you check the image's transparency, regardless of if you color it or not. After 10+ years with only MS Paint, I'm something of a wiz.
