Hey people,

So I was hoping someone could help me with this. I have started playing about with a bit of picture editing. One of the things I am trying to do at the moment is make a signature for use of this forum.

As you can see with my current signature the picture has just stretched :( The original picture is 500x375. Heres the original.

So as you can see I cut the bottom of the image so I just want the top portion above the N7 symbol. But then when I re-size the image to 400x75 for here is just stretches far to much :(

I am currently using pixelmator on my mac. I have been reading about on the internet but I am struggling to find out how to do this.
 
Unfortunately there's not much you can do, as the 75px height restriction really kills any hope of getting it to shrink to a size that is actually viewable. The only option is to crop even more off before you shrink, but even then you'd end up with a tiny image that'll be like 200x75px.
 
mmmm dammit :( owell will have to try find a smaller pic or diff pic to use.

Still having fun playing about with my photos
