I'm trying to adapt a photo I shot of Picasso's "Au Lapin Agile" at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art for a 50x50 avatar (GIF). However, resizing the picture with Photoshop basically destroys it.

Are there any applications out there I can use to do this? Can someone do this for me, using a picture of the original painting?

50x50 is pretty damned small. I doubt you'd be able to see much of anything at that resolution, never mind something which is detail-rich.

If you post the picture, I'll give it a try. Does it absolutely have to be a GIF file? Those are seriously color-limted.

Is this ok?

And if you do decide to use it please just use your own host (or you may find something else up there instead :twisted: ).

Thanks for the version, MariusRoi. The following is for anyone else who'd like to try to get this within 50 x 50, GIF, and less than 15 kb.

I used a version fromhere. If you don't mind me trimming it down a bit (Crop off the bottom and the left side), I might be able to get it to look better.

That looks like nothing, honestly. You'd be better off just nabbing the head of the guy.
