Post by: Gerrick on December 01, 2016, 03:38:33 AM
Hi, everyone! This is your new Jarl of Culture, Gerrick. It's time to start nominations for December's Avatar Theme of the Month, so post below if you have an idea for what it should be. The winning theme will be adopted by people into their avatars for the month. Nominations will last until Sunday, December 4, and then voting will the start and occur in a poll in this thread.

I'll go ahead and start this off by nominating both Yule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule), the pagan Germanic festival celebrated during the winter solstice, as well as Festivus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus), a Festivus for the rest of us who don't celebrate Christmas.

Anyone have an easy way of turning an image upside-down?

I have a temporary one right now.

MS Paint?

I'm pretty sure under Windows Photo Viewer there are those little arrows that can flip the image and it saves it when you close it.

- Go to the .jpg on your computer
- Open it // View it
- Click the little "rotate" or "flip" buttons
- Save

- If your computer is a meanie-jerk-face, the above won't apply and I have no idea how to help. =D

-Load the picture into MS Paint
-Use the select tool to select the contents you want to select
-Go to the change position button(I think that's what it's called)
-Click the "Flip Vertically" Button
