Title: Problems with Deviant art
Post by: Nimrod on January 04, 2008, 02:27:26 PM

I have a little problem and hope that anyone could help me here. Every time I want to upload an avatar on Deviant art, following message appears:
Your picture you chose isn¥t 50x50.
What means that? And how can I change the picture I want in 50x50?

I don't know much about deviantart, but I suppose 50x50 is the maximum size your avatar at deviantart may have. If your avater is larger than that you can reduce it to the required size with almost every graphic program.

Okey, thank you Malte, it works now. But there is a nother question. Lbtlover made for me before some time an animated LBT picture. I wanted to have this one in Deviantart. Now I went to the side where this picture (the animatet picture is) saved it and uploaded it in Deviantart. So, now there is the picture, but not longer animatet, it¥s only the first pic you can see from the animatet picture. Now my question: How can I put animatet avatars on Deviantart? Someone know? :unsure:

*shrugs*  Should've worked...I've seen many with animated avatars on DA.  If you edited the picture to make it 50x50 most programs will only work with the first frame.  You can go to http://www.gifworks.com (http://www.gifworks.com) and shrink it to 50x50 pixels and it will still be intact.

Have a question about this program, how can I save the gif?

Right click on the finished image and do "save as" ;)  Its just like any normal image found on the web.

Well, everything worked okey, but now I have one more problem. The picture I saved was animated, all right so far. But I had to change the size of the picture to 50x50. Than it wasn¥t any longer animated. Could you help me? Or anyone else? :unsure:

I've always had good luck with Adobe Elements with resizing animated pictures. If you'd like, you can PM (or link) the image to me and I'll resize it for you.

Actually I had tried to work on Pat's image, and it still wouldn't work when I did it myself.  I don't know what's going on...maybe dA doesn't allow animated gifs anymore or something.

No, no, it does. My icon on DA is animated and I've seen many that are the same.
