Before and After ... Avatar type pictures

Mvm.com.

The weight loss simulator isn't working, so I made 2 models- one with my current weight and one with my goal weight.

When I had one at my current weight, I hit "print scrn (above insert on a regular keyboard; copies your whole screen) and pasted into Paint. I cut the picture down within paint to frame just around the body. I copied and pasted that into word, (although you could use any program, email, etc) just to save it until I had the other picture ready.

I made the second image (goal weight), print screen, paste into Paint. Same thing- I cut around my photo within paint and copied it into the word document I had open.

Then I opened a new image in Paint (blank screen) and copied and pasted one of the images into Paint. I copied and pasted the second image in (second imagine may appear on top of first- use arrow keys or mouse to move it over).

Images should be side by side. Save the picture with a name. Upload to MFP!

Hope that helps!

just been on weight mirror - wow that is so cool. I have recently taken a before pic to start my weight loss again and i was amazed to see myself so much slimmer. It made me laugh - haven't ever seen myself like that as an adult.

Nina74, thanks so much for your how to! It was spot on and helped me make my avatar.

The only thing that I encountered that wasn't in your message was resizing the image so that it wasn't cut on in my avatar. I tried the resize tool in paint, but it only made the imagine smaller but my head was still cut off when I uploaded the pic. Ultimately I ended up adding more horizontal space by stretching out my image, and for some reason that allowed my avatar to be viewed without anything being out of frame.
