In this tutorial we will show you how to create an Avatar in Photo-Paint X3.
First of all, you will need an image you want to turn into an icon or Avatar.
I chose the drawing of a dog:
After that, select the part (in this case) of the dog that you want to use as an avatar, I will select the face.
Now, select the cropping tool from the Tools bar and crop it:
Though the image is cropped, its still too big to use it as an avatar, so lets go to: Image/Resample.
The Width and Height pixels must be: 100 with 35 % :
We are almost done.
Now we need to save the image.
Lets go to File/Save As
From the list, choose: JPG Bitmaps.
There you go. Now you have your avatar ready to use:
Have fun!!
