I have a macbook pro and I took a snapshot and downloaded it to my computer. How do I put it on my profile?

Thanks,

Scarlet

You didn't have to download the pic. Just drag it to your profile screen. If you retouched it on your local, upload it again and drag it to...

That about sums it up. If you "save as texture", then you can drag from the Photo Album folder in your inventory to the grey square in profile.

If you "snapshot to disk" and did some photoshopping then you can do File-Upload Image and than drag from inventory.

I still can not do it. I paid the 10 bucks, right clicked and tried to drag it to the grey box from the photo album and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

The snapshot is in your Inventory and you have clicked on it with the left mouse button and while holding that button down, tried to drag it over to the grey box where the pic would be in your profile?

What did it look like when you tried to drag, was there a little icon?

Another method is to click on the grey Xed box in your profile (the same location you are trying to drag to), this will pop up a selection box showing all your textures where you can click on one and then click the blue select button. The photo or texture will then be in your profile.

On a Mac, Control + Click = Right Mouse

Chances are Command + Click will also work, but I can never remember what my fingers are doing. It's kind of like driving stick-shift -- after a few years you don't think about it, but it you think about it you can't do it.

OK, a little off topic, but it was really really good wine.
