It really helps if you know how to crop pictures BEFORE you use them - When you want to animate - Choose a picture - CROP out only what you want in the Animation - (like your Yorkies FACE) and Save it to a folder at the EXACT SIZE of your settings - Non Donating Members are 75 x 75 pixels - and 19.5 KB's and donating members are 125 pix 48.8 KB's....
Once you crop - use those pictures in the animation process. Do NOT go over these size limits or your avatar will not upload. IF your animation is too large - optimize it or delete a few pictures.
IF you don't know how to crop - THIS is a free Net Tool
