Dont even try to move it from where it automaticly

space under your original image. We want that.
You will see why Later on. Now go to File>Save As

http://www.hypah.com/?a
and upload the image you just created.
16. Click The Star-Burst Effect

the top left corner and the bottom right corner.
And maybe even one in the middle if it feels right
18. Hit the green done button. It should render as a
.gif file and say here is the link to your animation:
Example:
http://s1a.hypah.com/ (some name here)
19. Copy that link it gives.
Go to that link.
You go to link like and see that g** watermark eh?
Good thing its in that white area because I've
got a plan to get the watermark off =]
19.
Right Click the Image and press Save As.
Save it under any name you like. This image
should be saved in .GIF format.
20. Now, go to http://blibs.com
Upload the .GIF picture you just saved with the
hypah.com watermark in the white area.
Now, on the top toolbar go to:
Edit>Crop Image. The image may take a little time to load.
Please be patient. Now, Click on the top right of
the image and hold it and drag it all the war to the
bottom left. make sure that it is cropped in the image
and the red cropping line indicating where you
are cropping doesnt go off the image. If it does,
It wont crop right. Once it looks like its going to crop good
press the image at the top that says 'Crop Image'
It should refresh the page and show the cropped image
without the watermark of white part.
Now you are probably saying- OMFG!! YAY hehe.
Next, go to File > Save Image on the top toolbar.
Scrool down the page and you'll see your image again.
Right click the image and press 'Save Picture As'
Name the image what you like. Now, just host it on
photobucket or any other image hosting site
and you have finished! Congratulations! =]
Post your result!
