You've got some major resizing issues.

[Jek]

if you mean the size of the pictures? its photobucket, what do expect. it resizes it if its too big

[Tomi]

No, you just streached the originial picture too much after you pasted, such as in the bottom one.  You can see the pixels too well.

[Jek]

the first and second, no. but the third, i resized it.

Wait a minute, if you're trying to take images out of pictures, thats called rendering, and you need photoshop or paint shop pro to do that well. Ripping is taking sprites from a game.

then i have been doing that good with PAINT?

Yeah, that's rendering.

Paint doesn't really resize images that well. To be honest, even the big expensive programs have a little trouble when you scale too far from the orgininal. But with Paint ANY resizing, bigger or smaller, will very noticably distort the final product.
