Avatar Touch-Up for any Member!

Hey folks; I realize I'm very new to the site and as such I'd like to offer a bit of my time to anyone here as a token way of saying thanks for the warm welcome to the site and thanks for hearing out my inane babbling.

So, if you like the transparency effect I've added to my avatar and would like the same treatment for yours, PM me and if possible include a higher-resolution version of your avatar as well as a description of what you'd like removed (in the case of mine I removed all background but the car's shadow) and I'll PM you back the retouched flavor of your avatar.

I know it's not much of anything to offer, but it's the first thing that comes to mind!

Thanks again all,

~ dan ~

I don't see a transparency effect, I see a few raggedy white
spikes around the edge. What's it trying to do/be?

Does look good to me.
And that's a mighty friendly gesture.

Dan,

I'm a bit slow to review some posts, and I've just come upon your generous offer to help people with their avatars. Instead of a more personal avatar, I've opted for various pictures I've taken in among the Coastal Redwoods (and other places of great wonder), so I don't know that I can take you up on your offer. Nonetheless -- Thanks for offering your service to the community.

The depressing part is that nobody's taken me up on the offer yet. Does my avatar look THAT bad to some people? I'd be interested in seeing what hobbit sees, with raggedy white edges; I don't see that on mine, and I used Photoshop or The Gimp or something to do the cleaning.

But I'd love to offer it up for people, or maybe to offer it to the web site, perhaps cleaning a series of Prius or Prius part pictures (how about a Toyota logo or a steering wheel or MFD or something) people could choose from?

I'm wondering if you would like to create some "stock" avatars for the site. Maybe a Prius in each color? You can get all the pictures here, but they don't have transparency:

Hobbit, what browser are you using?

Don't worry about Hobbit. I think he uses lynx most of the time so he don't see much but colored text anyway. Thats if he even uses color.
