If you are talking about the stable image that appears above all of my horses, like the one seen here:

you have to create, or have another player create, the picture, using uncopyrighted material or pictures you own yourself. Then it has to be uploaded to an image sharing site like Imgur. Once you have its URL there, you insert it into the place provided under Stable Management/Edit My Default Image.

If you are using images from the game, you have to give credit to Hunt and Jump. If you are using stock image photographs that you have permission to use, you need to include this information on your image in some way.

I have made images for several other players, often using my own photographs, which I give permission to use for the purpose. I have also made a few using favorite game horses owned by the player I'm making it for. You can check out my work at my PBase site. They will be found by looking through this gallery.

I always allow the person I'm making such an image for to make suggestions for changes (you'll see several trials for some of these), and work until my "client" is satisfied. I've made several for Secret Santa gifts. My fees for other work are always fairly low. I do it for the love of creating such images and to help fellow players, not to increase my game bank account. *G*

I use Photoshop, and have used it for quite a few years now for a number of different image modification projects. It provides a lot of ways to work with photographs to change and adapt them in numerous ways.

I believe there is a free program called Gimp that will let you take photographs and work with them in similar ways as Photoshop does. If you use a PC, you should be able to download and try it out. Don't worry about trying to do everything right away. It takes time to master these complex and powerful programs.

The last stable image I did, I took a photograph I'd taken at a local 4H club show, cropped it fairly close to the action, removed some unwanted people. Then I copied it to a new layer, set the new layer to the blending mode Screen to lighten it a bit so the rider's head didn't get lost in the bank. I applied a filter that gave the horse and rider a very slight painted look. Finally, I added the text, giving it some special effects to help it stand out nicely. The last step is to flatten all the layers so that it can be saved as a jpeg image.

SandyCreek answered that in the second paragraph of her first response here.

I know she answered it but I wanted it in more detail because I couldn't figure it out...

I have the image address and i think it works on here but it doesn't work on the image page :( the size is exactly how you said it too.

Where do you have it hosted? (I've been away from home and computer all day.)

If you give me a link to the page your image is on, I can visit the site and maybe find out about direct linking there.

Here is one I have http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/prettygrl345/media/6e98caae-4830-454a-aabf-88fdd021a07c.png.html?state=copy&sp=false

Aww it worked!! Thank you so much, it means a lot. Are you sure I don't owe you anything? :x
