I would like to post an RL photo of myself on the 1st Life part of my profile. I have some that look okay onmy hard drive. I am certainly no beauty queen but I look okay for asomeone my age. I would also like to make a framed R/L photo to maybe put inmy house or my b/f's house. I know this can be done but I don't know how. Can someone give me a step by step instruction post on how to do this, keeping inmind that I am close to being a complete idiot?

Thanks

Susanne

1. Go to File at the top of the screen...then Upload Image.

2. Find theRL Image you wish to use and upload as a texture.

3. Drag from inventory into Grey Box in First Life section of profile.

4. Also apply to flattened cube or framed picture like you would any other texture or snapshot.

5. ????

6. Profit!!

Crop your photo to whatever size you want it to be, and upload using file>upload. Then open your profile, click 1st life, click the box for the picture, find the uploaded photo in your textures and select.

Part two is a little trickier.

You can have a single prim picture with a frame if you layer a frame over your RL picture in a graphics program, then upload it.

or

Use a 2 prim framed picture with the frame on one and the RL picture on the other.

I'd be happy to put the 2 prim together for you, if you IM me in world. I have about 20 different frames in inventory. You can have (meaning free) your pick.

ETA: I need to learn to type faster so I don't get spanked like that.

Presumably these initials stand for something other than "estimated time of arrival."

Good advice, and bonus points for fitting in a Southpark Reference! (If only underpants could have been in there, too!)
