57x80 is the right aspect ratio, given the dimensions of the original. It just seems tiny.
Could Martin get me more pixels?
You could crop the picture on the editing site above then make it 80 x 80 if it's a pretty square crop.
Your trying to get too large a scene in a tiny Avatar space and that is why she looks small.0 -
This is what I mean...

I've got a sonicare toothbrush, my 4th now, dentist reckons my gums are much improved as well as my teeth. I've now got a colgate sonic brush, courtesy of Buzz surveys. (I'm meant to use it and tell you lot how wonderful it is). Feel unsure of changing, but then a toothbrush retailing at £169 must be good.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

We shared a base and had a head each when we first got ours years ago. By the time he left we had a base-and-head combo each.
Nowadays my toothbrush is technically just mine. I do occasionally catch one or other of my kids borrowing mine if they can't find their own. Not with my permission, though!Sorry to be pedantic, but they sell toothbrushes with different colour heads so that you and OH can distinguish between otherwise identical brushes, not so that you can swap heads.
Heads detach so they can be replaced more frequently than bases in more expensive models. (and replaced with other devices - http://www.tingletip.com/ allegedly)
Decades ago, when electric toothbrushes were new and nobody knew much about them, they were advertised in magazines, and the "only pay for one motor bit but have a head for each family member" scheme was explained in the advert. I imagine the bases were a lot more expensive in real terms back then, though.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Ex hubby got the toothbrush base in the divorce..so I had my toothbrush but no way of charging the blooming thing!
Ours was a double toothbrush thing rather than one holder and lots of heads.
To stop the boys using my toothbrush by mistake, I had to go against my normal instincts and bought myself a pink one...they wouldn't be seen dead with a pink brush (nor would I normally!)We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Generali is quiet tonight. Given his invitation to meet the woman who interiewed him in a cafe, I am concerned that he has been lured away with promises of jobs and sweeties.
He may be being held captive and rogered senseless. Very worried now.0 -
