2) Make sure that you can see the entire doll in your screen. Then press the PrintScrn/SysRq button. It is between scroll lock and F12.
3) Open up your paint program. This could be anything as primitive as MS Paint, or it could be as fancy as Paint Shop Pro.
4) Once you've opened the paint program, press Ctrl+V, or use the menu and select "Paste". This should give you what is called a Screen Shot, or picture of what was on your screen when you pressed PrintSrcrn/SysRq.
5) Crop the image so that only your doll shows. You should try to leave only one or two pixels of space around her. Do any editing you want, such as changing eye color, clothing, etc. Feel free to customize her any way you like!
6) Save as a .gif image. If your program causes the image's colors to mess up, you can edit it so that they are more normal, or you can go here to download a free program which will save as gif without messing the colors. NEVER save as a jpeg! This causes the image to blur something terrible! And bitmaps won't work on websites! But if you're just printing the doll, bitmap (.bmp) images will work just fine.
7) You might also want to make your doll with a transparent background so that she can show up on any background. In MS Paint, this is found under the "Image-->Attributes" area. Fill the background in with a color that contrasts with the doll, and isn't anywhere else. Lime Green usually works. Then use that color as the transparent background. This adds a nice touch to dolls.
8) This drag and drop only works in Internet Explorer 5 or above, and AOL i think. If you can't drag the images? NO PROBLEM! Just right click on the image, select copy, and then paste it into paint the same way you did with the screen shot. Then move them around to fit. If you're using MS Paint, make sure that under "Image", "Draw Opaque" is NOT checked!
I hope this was helpful, if you have any specific questions, email me. I'll hopefully have some FAQ's later! Enjoy!
