From lemons to lemonade

raloriaThe second day of this weekend and I'm again ignoring my to-do list. When the fanart-making bug bites though, you've gotta answer. ;)
Found myself going though some old folders of caps, test caps I'd made to be exact, when I was testing out various media players and settings. Some of them are in good shape & I fixed up a few of them for the Just 'Cause posts. Others are from my recordings of the show and are not very good at all. But...
I believe almost every cap, even the bad ones can usually be made into something. So I sorted thru them, deleting the ones I didn't like (there were over 300 and I've got it down to 56), and I'm now taking what's left and making icons out of them in Picnik. The magic is that once you crop and shrink an image down to 100x100 pixels, it can actually look pretty good. :) Picnik's Auto-Fix button does a great job on these caps, restoring the color and brightening them up.
I also made a gorgeous new header from one of the the better caps and I'm quite proud of it! Can't wait to share it with everyone. :D
