Would someone care to help the technologically retarded?

That would be me.

I need a very simple yellow sad emoticon ( :frowning: except yellow, like the one in AOL instant messenger ) on a transparent background in jpeg or gif format. I want to use it in a powerpoint presentation, so I need it big enough that it doesn’t get fuzzy when enlarged.

And in the interest of full disclosure, this is for a sermon. I know that may make a difference for some of you.

Thanks to anyone willing to help.

Bill,

I did an image search on Yahoo for ‘sad emoticon’ and came up with this. If you find something, anyone with Photoshop or Photodeluxe (like me) or an alternative program could remove the background for you.

Bruce, that is exactly what I need. I did a search but the only ones I found were so small that they pixelated when I enlarged them for powerpoint. If you have the time and knowledge to remove the background (and if it isn’t copyrighted), that would be great!

Hopefully this will do it for you. Send me your email address if you can’t grab it from here and I’ll email it to you.

One more that might be a bit better.

Here’s the original in case someone else can do a smoother cut out.

Bruce, that is perfect. Thank you.

Just remember to smile on a daily basis.

The attached .zip has cutout .gifs made from yoopers’ second image, sized at 382x382 pixels (original size), 200x200 and 100x100; not sure which is closest to what you need.

Thanks, Joe. When I put that large one into my powerpoint, it comes out even cleaner.

Wahoo! What time is the service? I think I’ll show up…if I happen to be in the neighborhood.

Services are Saturday at 5:30 and Sunday 8:00 and 10:45. Since you and Weeble both helped, I will waive the cover charge for both of you. :smiley:

Oh, good. I was afraid of having to buy my tickets at the door.

What’s the cover charge?

You have to give my kid rides to and from muni events.
