Did you shoot that photo? It' s beautiful, but kind of low-quality. The text doesn' t really fit though.

No, I didn't shoot the photo. I just posted it and added the date just for remembrance. It was sort of an after thought.

If you are talking about the Avatar, it is distored because I had to scrunch it into a 150x150 size. I knew it was only going to be temporary, thats why.

Liquid Rescale sometimes helps. There's another similar script I have but I can't find it.

I have never tried that Odin. I don't even know if I have it. I probably do.

Liquid Rescale works pretty good. If I had the original layers my version could have been better.

Thanks Lyle
@Odin, that is a nice job

I made another one and changed it. I tried liquid rescale and it got scrunched. I guess I need to learn how to do the settings.

It was nice scrunching though. Proper scrunching can be difficult, as opposed to squishing which is easier but messier. Personally I find scrunching way too technical and have given it up in favor of the antiquated practice of stomping and squeezing. It's much easier to stomp and squeeze a thinkamajig than to scrunch a watchmadoodle.
I do so enjoy these techy talks we have here.

I think so too, a simple adjustment may be in order.

No, I was talking about the picture itself. It' s very pixelly and just overall LQ.

Well, I like it, for what that's worth.

It's beautiful Molly. I'm not a fan of red but I think this works really well.

Thank you Erisian. I really wasn't trying to post a work of art. I saw that picture in Bing and I thought it would be appropriate for Remembrance day. It was supposed to be just a one day temporary thang.
