Changing your Cover Picture

CHANGING THE COVER PICTURE

Well there are a couple of methods to change the cover picture of your lot. This is the one both Magician1 and MerryWiddow use. It is by simmer Zinda799. It is very easy to use and safe.

You will find it on page 2, 3rd post down on Zinda799's forum. Please leave her a thank you.

To prepare a picture for this wonderful program you will need to create a square 512 x 512 .png file. How do I do that you ask?

There is a good free program called Irfanview that you can use to edit your photographs. A tutorial available call Ten Things You Can Do With Irfanview will help you to understand this versatile program. Magician1 uses this program and MerryWiddow uses Adobe Photoshop Elements.
