Hello! Today i will teach you how to make an forum avatar with a Skin Face






There are a lot of forum avatar generators, but, if you want to make this forum avatar with an skin that is not yours this is the simpliest way






First, you need to open your skin in Photoshop and select your face

Next, you need to create an 128x128 canvas

Cut the face from the skin and put in in the created canvas

Press CTRL+T to rezise, set the Interpolation to Nearest Neighbor(VERY IMPORTANT) and rezise the image holding CTRL+SHIFT

You can add, of course, some effects, for a better image! I suggest to add a blur effect(i will make another tutorial) and an Inner Shadow!


Right Click on layer, click on Blending Options(or just double click the layer)

Go to Inner Shadow and personalize the effect

This is the final image :














Of course, with blur is preety good, but is good and without blur effect...






BTW, hope you enjoy
