Your picture

For the little icon you have do you have to use a picture that is from the internet? I have some pictures I'd like to cut parts out of and use as my logo. Is this possible?

 

Also, how could I take a picture from the internet and cut just say the head of a player out and get that as my icon? Thanks!

Yes and no. Yes, your picture has to be on the internet, but you can utilize a free photo hosting service like photobucket.com, where you cna upload images for the purposes of message boards, ebay auctions, etc. In fact, I wholeheardetly encourage everyone here to use photboucket (or another service) to host images. It saves bandwidth for the sites that you would be leeching images from.

You would download a picture from the internet to your hard drive. Then you would use some photo editing software to crop and resize your photos. I suggest Paint.NET ( www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ ). It's like a dumbed down version of Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro that will let you pretty much do anything a novice would have to do to photos (cropping, resizing, adding text....etc), and it's free.

 

Hope this answers your questions.
