In Hinduism of avatars is an image of god in which it descended to the lower spheres. Someone witty thought up to use this term for designation of the small graphics image which should characterize the Internet user and display its inner world.

1. Before beginning search of an avatar, decide what image you want to create: admirer of an anime, brutal macho, princess, "pink pufystik", etc. Think whether it will be appropriate in that Internet community in which you want to participate.
2. Keep in mind that different resources impose restrictions for avatars of participants on subject and by the size. Thematic restrictions are caused by ethical reasons: not all resources will understand an avatar with a swastika or a fight. Restrictions on the size are caused by quite reasonable reasons: the page will be loaded very long and "will eat" a lot of traffic if participants decorate it with megabyte pictures in all screen.
3. It is possible to pick up a ready avatar on the Internet on the numerous specialized websites. Avatars are sorted on subjects for convenience of visitors. You visit the website, select a suitable subject and an avatar which will correspond to your idea of itself.

Double click according to the image.
5. By means of the Healing Brush Tool tool ("The treating brush") process the picture, having deleted heat-spots and defects of skin. If you want to distort the photo for comic effect, in the main menu select Filter ("Filter") and Liquify ("Plastic").

Click OK for saving changes.
6. In the main menu select Image ("Image") and Image Size ("Image size"). Put values of width and height of the photo about 100х100 pixels – the standard size for an autarchy.
