Could someone help make this transparent

[jrthor2]

Could someone make this headshot transparent for me? I know it's not a very good image.

Thanks.

What do you mean by "transparent"?

[OctoberWind]

Transparent? as in, 'remove the background'?

[jrthor2]

right, remove the background. Can someone help?

This is about the best you're going to get considering the quality.

Hope it helps

Use the free online tool at GifWorks.com (http://www.gifworks.com/image_editor.html) to edit your image after you convert it to a gif. (GIFs only). You can do/undo till you have it the way you want it. Original is really poor quality.

Had to try my hand at it. :p Touched up color/brightness/contrast.

Fun, but time consuming. Hope these are accessible as server seems to be denying access sometimes.

... server seems to be denying access sometimes.Indeed it is. :(

Just spent about an hour arguing with my host. I gave them the same links and they were able to access the files. Just can't access files from webdeveloper.com. Wonder if my other links from this forum are still ok? Anyway to check? I looked to see if this IP was banned, but isn't.

Will have to pick it up later via telephone.

Oh, that's weird... I just typed the image location in directly, rather than clicking the link from here, and it works. I guess they're right. How odd though... :confused:

It is weird. I can get to the images, too, by right-clicking on one of the link and select Copy Link Location, then drop it into browser. Must be the http referer from this site that is being passed to server that triggers the error.
