I don't know that particular too (I use The GIMP), but one thing to remember is that JPEG (.jpg) image compression is "lossy", and depending on the quality selection when saving to JPEG, you can get a lot of smearing type effects. And worse, if you save it as JPEG, then reopen it, edit it, and save it again, it gets smeared some more. So what you want to do is start in a "lossless" format such as PNG or your editor's native image format. Then when you get everything just the way you want, save it again in the lossless format in case you ever want to edit it again, then save it in JPEG format if you need to save bytes (and try different JPEG quality settings to see which you find to be the best trade-off between quality and file size). If file size is not an issue, then I'd suggest saving it as a PNG file for the best quality with at least some file size compression. Hope that helps a bit. Thank you so much! I will try playing around with this a bit. I do save and re-save several times before ending up with the final product so that explains alot. Thanks for your help and suggestions, I will give it a try with my next custom SS attempt! |

....wonders if husband will notice Johnny Depp & Orlando Bloom on the K2.......  Unfortunately he does tend to comment on my screensavers, I'm kinda thinking I'd better not add those two! |

Just wanted to share another screensaver mode I adopted: I gather pics from many places that just hit me "right", save them to a special folder in 'My Computer' and then point my computer screensaver to that folder for a slide show. I get to enjoy all the many pics this way - and I've been adding the Kindle screensavers to this folder (I have 3 computers that all have a variety of pics: my home laptop, my netbook, and my work desktop!).
So I love seeing all these pics & images.

Yikes... guess did they didn't have tweezers back in the day?
Hmmmmm . . . tweezers are as low tech as you can get. Did you think that Audrey Hepburn lived in the dark ages? |

Well here are just a couple of some of the many I've made. These are in anticipation of the movie coming out in October.  and..  By the way, there is a short trailer out already, you can find it here: http://wherethewildthingsare.warnerbros.com/ |

A couple more, one from the new Tim Burton "Alice" movie:  and one you should recognize from Amazon.com:  Also, what is the image tag command that actually displays clickable thumbnails, rather than full 600x800 images? I'd prefer to do that for any bandwidth deprived members. |

You can specify a width in the IMG tag, then wrap that in a URL tag that points to the full-sized image: [url=http://example.com/image.jpg][img width=200]http://example.com/image.jpg[/img][/url]

Thanks for the info NogDog, much appreciated!
EDIT, I a having a small problem with the syntax I believe. After modifying the tags the image did resize, but the image isn't clickable. However, when saved to HDD the image is saved in proper with proper sizing.
