I purchased a set of icons from
http://iconizeme.dv-graphics.com
The icons look great when I use them for folder icons or drive icons. But when I try to use them for the account picture (login picture) I get a picture that is jagged like it isn't anti-aliased. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
lw

I have tried both .gif & jpg. Even tried the pdf format. Also tried .icns file and that didn't work.

Have a link to the icon you are using in particular? I assume you have placed the icon on a folder, made the icon size "Large" through the Finder's view options, and then captured a screen shot of the enlarged icon to use as your account picture?

One of the .jpg icons that I tried is a high resolution .jpg file (about 2400X3000 pixels). This appears jagged like the others. Are the "user account" pictures anti-aliased?

That makes sense. Hopefully 10.4.3 will fix it.

Try editing it down to 48X48 pixels with a resolution of 72dpi and save it as a .tif or .jpg.
