How to make your own avatar for profile
In hinduism the avatar is an image of god in which it descended in the bottom spheres. Someone witty thought up to use this term for a designation of a small graphic representation which should characterize the Internet user and display its private online world.
Before to begin avatar search, solve, you want to create what image: the admirer of an anime, the brutal macho, the princess, etc. Think, whether it will be pertinent in that Internet community in which you want to participate. Keep in mind that different resources impose restrictions on avatars of participants on subjects and on the size. Thematic restrictions are caused by ethical reasons: not all resources with understanding concern an avatar with a swastika or fight. Restrictions on the size are caused by quite reasonable reasons: the page will be loaded very long and “eats” a lot of traffic if participants decorate it megabytes with pictures in all screen. To pick up a ready avatar it is possible on the Internet on numerous specialized sites. Avatars are sorted on themes for convenience of visitors. Come on a site, choose a suitable theme and an avatar which will correspond to your representation about itself.

Click twice under the image. By means of tool Healing Brush Tool («the Treating brush») process a picture, removing heat-spots and defects of a skin. If you want to deform a photo for comic effect, in the main menu choose Filter (“Filter”) and Plasticity. Activate tool Forward Warp Tool (it looks as a finger), on the panel of properties in the right part of a window establish the size of a brush and change the appearance according to a plan. Press OK for preservation of changes. In the main menu choose Image (“Image”) and Image Size («the Size of the image»).
