thumbnails for tgps
 

I'm having a little trouble getting good quality thumbs for submitting to tgps. I cant afford photoshop so for the moment I'm using microsoft photo editor. If I resize a pic to 90x120 for example, it usually ends up distorted and blurry. If I crop it down to that size I'm left with a picture of a nose or something else thats useless. Is there an online tutorial or do you have any suggestions for making good thumbs? thanks for your help :upsidedow

get gimp, or even better gimpshop {gimp but with photoshop organization}.

How many do you have to do? I'd be more than happy to do em for you if it's not hundreds upon hundreds

He's pretty good also :thumbsup

just color balence and sharpen, then you should be good

I really appreciate your offer to do this :) . I'd really like to learn to do it for myself though. I'm still learning alot of this and its important to me to be able to do things like make my own quality thumbnails. Maybe you could help me create one or two sometime so I can get the jist of how it works?

Absolutely, hit me up on ICQ or AIM or shoot me an email sometime.

As far as software goes, though, you really should upgrade to an Adobe product if possible. Photoshop is quite the investment, so why not try Photoshop Elements ($100) or ImageReady (not sure if they still offer this is a standalone).

Great! I'll hit you up on ICQ in the next day or so. I'll look into getting adobe or photo shop. Maybe I can swing it if I get a big enough tax return. Lost my job after 16 years not to long ago so moneys tight right now. Kids to feed and bills to pay and all that. Thanks for your help!
