This tutorial will guide you through the process
of taking large avi pics for backgrounds/wallpaper.

This is important because large avi pics look better
and show more detail than the lil’ IMVU snapshots.

1st of all, you need to maximize your chat window
screen by dragging the chat window by it’s edge
from left all the way to the right.

Do the same thing from the bottom of the chat
window and drag it all the way down.

Now get your avi in the pose you want it in
and when you find the right shot,

Hit the ‘Print Scrn’ button on your keyboard.
(normally located at the top right)

Your computer has just copied your entire screen.

Now you need to open your image editor program.
If you don’t have one you can use your Microsoft
Paint program that most computers come with.

It’s normally located in your start up menu
Start -> All Programs -> Paint

When the program opens, go to the Edit option
and hit Paste (or Ctrl+V on your keyboard)

Now you see the shot you took, but it’s time
to get rid of the excess parts you don’t need.

Select the part of the pic you want, then go
back to the Edit option and hit Cut.

(or Ctrl+X on your keyboard)

Now the part you wanted has just been removed.
It’s time to open a new file and you do that by
going to File Option and hit Open New.

Normally you’re gonna see a pop up window asking
if you want to save the other file you had open.

Hit the hell No button.

When the new file opens, go back to the Edit option
and hit Paste (or Ctrl+V on your keyboard)

Wooo…
There it is! Your perfect pic!

Now it’s time to save and name your new pic.
Do this by going to File option and hit Save
(or Ctrl+S on your keyboard)

When the window pops up give your pic
a name in the File Name section.

Now you see right under File Name where
it says Save as type? You need to select PNG,
but if that’s not an option either select JPG or
JPEG then hit the save button.

That’s it…
you can now upload your new large
avi pic to your portfolio.
