lnr | Shame you lose the detail in shrinking it for an icon...

avatar thingy

Edit: Now much improved icon due to help in comments, thanks.

Can do better than that!

Used convert -sample 100x125 c2dbabedb66d2d182b693faa125203.png scaled.png

If you use the Gimp, make sure you select 'cubic' rather than the default of 'linear'.

The dimensions of your image (100x125) exceed maximum size

Doh! In fact there's a pile of whitespace at the top of the image anyway, which can come off, so:

This time just with the Gimp.

Another thing to consider doing would be to make the background transparent before resampling.

Nicely done; but where's the trademark pink gone?

I'm more purply at the moment.

But thanks :-)

is a slightly better shrink (GIMP, scale up with cubic resampling, unsharp mask, scale down again with cubic resampling).

Ah, I see

ewx had much the same idea

The USM step seems to have produced a slightly better looking result.

SPEKE ENGLISH MAN!

Anyway, where does one get these little pictures from then, eh, LNR? TELL US.

Although then of course you too get to have the difficulty of making it small enough for an LJ icon.

Ta, that one will do nicely ;-)
