Just some basic things, I see people charging credits/money for something that takes less than a minute.​

Firstly download this (photoshop cs6): http://portableapptrash.blogspot.sg/[/CENTER]
It's got no virus's, it's only 90mb's, you don't even need to install it.​

If you wan't to make a circle avatar without or without border:​

Step 1: Dimensions​
I personally use 400x400 (pixels not cms/inches) as it re sizes quite nicely.​

Step 2: Find the Image you want to use and resize it to fit, using ctrl + t.​
Hold shift to keep the picture from becoming distorted, move it around till your happy with the placement​
If you need to zoom out, hold alt and scroll​

Step 3: Selecting the Elliptical Selection tool​
Hold down mouse one to bring up the selection menu​

Step 4: Place your cursor in the middle of the image, click and drag outwards whilst holding shift + alt​

Step 5: Press ctrl + x to cut the image out, press ctrl + v after you have done that​
This separates the background and image you want to keep​

Step 6: Hide the un-needed layers (Layers 1 and Background) by clicking the eye​

Step 7: Re position your image to the center by using the move tool, you can click the tool or hit "v" on your keyboard​
For small movement, use the arrow keys whilst you're on the move tool​

Step 8 (If you want a border on the image): Right click the layer and select "Blending Options"​

Step 9: Select Stroke and choose a color that you like​
The size makes the border thicker, the opacity is how see through it is​

Step 10: Save the file​
File > Save as > .png​
You can also save the photoshop file if you would like​

Lets hope so, I've just seen users paying for avatars that are average at best, when they could make their own in 5 minutes.

It's quite simple when you somewhat know your way around photoshop, but there's always people that want to learn how to do it :)

Thanks for the tutorial. But I don't want a round avatar.

Doesn't need to be circular, just use the other selection tools.
