last seen 7 weeks 5 days agoHey Guys:
Can someone tell me how I can make my MySpace profile picture larger than the normal/default size? I see some profiles have long and narrow photos that really stand out and I'd like mine to be more creative as well. Here are some random examples of the size/shape I'm trying to achieve:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=58161
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=165613
I've tried a few things but if anyone knows a way that actually works, I'd be exceedingly grateful!
Thanks!
im having the same problem too - can u please send me the code to manually alter the size of my display pic?
Thanks,
Laura
That's because myspace constraints by the width. If your picture is smaller, then it's going to enlage the picture (by scale **width vs. Height ratio remains the same**) until your picture fits the width. Similarly, a large picture would be reduced in size.
In other words...
If the max width is 200px
and
Your picture is 100px W x 200px H
Then your picture will be
200px W x 400px H
Thus resulting in a longer photo.
The fact that the entire photo (width included) is larger is merely an optical illusion.
Go ahead.. try putting up a long picture with a width equal to or smaller than the max width allowed by myspace.
Lastly, if you would like to get a picture that exceeds or variates from the constraints myspace gives, you must then wipe the entire page (Close all open frames, etc) and use CSS, Divs and other things to "create" your custom page.
(ex. My myspace.)
I find default photo sizes to be hugely inconsistent and I haven't found the "trick" to it yet - or if there is one at all. There are two photos I have that when I select them to be default, they're huge. I mean, there's no missing me in anyone's Top Friends and they affect the balance of my page (even-ness of the tables). One's a gif and one's a jpg. The one I have now is pretty normal though.
I'd like to figure out how myspace resizes these pics. I figure it has something to do with width (in that it ignores height and just maintains aspect ratio once the width is the size they set), but I could be wrong.
I think it all depends on the size of your photo and how you crop it. I do know the code that allows you to have a default pic but when you click on your profile it's an entirely different pic. That way you can make it as big as you want or as small.. let me know if you want it.
