Before you attempt to cut your thick toenails, you should soften them by soaking them in warm water for at least 10 minutes. When you're finished, dry your feet completely, including between your toes. Nail clippers are what we typically associate with trimming nails, but these are usually not strong enough to cut through thick toenails. Use nail nippers instead. Nail nippers have a handle that is longer and easier to grip than regular nail clippers, and they are designed to cut toenails straight across. Small cuts help avoid splintering, which can be a problem with thick nails. As you're trimming, cut straight across your nail. Don't round the corners, as this can increase your risk for ingrown toenails. Conditions like diabetes which cause thickened toenails may also cause you to have poor circulation. This can result in reduced sensation in your feet, meaning you might not notice right away if you cut yourself. Untreated cuts can lead to infections and serious health complications, so be sure to pay close attention while you're trimming your toenails. After you've trimmed your toenails, carefully use an emery board or nail file to smooth any sharp edges which might get caught on your socks.

Use the Offset values to center the image in your new canvas before clicking the Resize button. Once you've resized the image, right-click on the layer and select "Layer to Image Size". This will change the layer boundary to match the canvas size. If you want, you can use GIMP's color tools to change the coloration of the image. The easiest way to do this is to click Color Colorize and then play with the settings until you find the color you feel looks best. The final step in creating an icon is ensuring that the image supports all the different icon sizes. This is essential if you want to be able to use the icon in different areas of the operating system and want them to scale when icon size is increased or decreased. Copy the layer. Click the Layer in the Layers window and press Ctrl+C. Scale the original layer. Open the Scale tool by pressing Shift+T and change the image scale to 256 X 256 px. Click Image Fit Canvas to Layers.

If any of them look blurry, open the Sharpening Tool by clicking Filters Enhance Sharpen. Adjust the slider until the image is clearer. Click File Export. In the Export Image window, change the extension in the top field to ".ico" and choose a location to save the icon. A window will appear, asking if you want to compress any of the layers. Check the box to compress the two biggest layers, unless you are using Windows XP. Once you've exported the image into .ico format, you can use it to replace the icon for any file or folder you'd like. See this guide for changing the icons on your Windows computer. See this guide for changing the icons on your Mac OS X computer. You will need to use a free online converter to change the ICO file to an ICNS file (Mac's icon file format).
A: Change the canvas size. Adjust the color. Create the different icon sizes. Examine your layers. Save the image as an icon. Use the icon.

Article: If you got assigned a simple worksheet for French class or a few easy math problems for Geometry, lay that work over your notes. Do your homework inconspicuously and quickly, and remember to look up sometimes to make it look like you're taking notes for class. If you're worried about having your homework confiscated, ask your teacher if it's okay to do the homework in their class. Some teachers might only allow this if you've already finished the lesson or work for their class that day. If you have a lot going on in your classes, use boring class time to write a list of things you need to do to clear your mind. Try making a timeline of things to do for an upcoming project or a study schedule for your exams. You can make different lists for each of your classes or just make one longer list for all of your classes and activities. Making lists can encourage creativity and help get rid of anxiety about upcoming assignments or tests. Keep in mind that you can make lists about pretty much anything. If you want to make a list about your top 10 favorite movies or books, you can! If you feel like you've taken a million notes and just can't pay attention anymore, go back through and review your notes. Highlight important parts, underline information you need to know for a test, and draw pictures of important figures and ideas. When you look back over your notes to study, your doodles and markings can help you remember the information. This will keep you entertained and engaged with the lesson so you're still doing a bit of studying! You can also draw geometric patterns, circles, or even random shapes in the margins of your notes. Most teachers won't mind a little doodling since it keeps you occupied and you don't disturb the class. Come up with a story about your favorite fictional character, your favorite celebrity, or even yourself! Keep your pen or pencil on the paper and let your thoughts roam free to write a short story. Remember to look up occasionally so that your teacher thinks you're writing notes for class.
