AVATAR help please!

[ZIP CODE]

How do I make a picture 150 x 150 pixels so I can use it as an avatar???

I have no idea what I'm doing. Please advise.

It's easy if you have the right photo shop for your somputer. When you go to resize it, it should say in Pixles and not just in percent like the AOL photo progie does.

Can I resize a picture I find on the internet to the correct size?

 

[glamorilla]

while were at it...I know how to reduce pixels but does anybody know how to reduce bytes (whatever the are)?

Bytes = size. when you make it smaller ie: reduce the pixel number, the bytes are smaller.

I find it easier to just grab pictures from google and download them as jpegs. I don't think you'll be able to use the picture from that site as it is.

I've already copied the picture to my computer and edited down a little so that the copyright doesn't show.

Will that work? Or is it just too big?

If it's not okay, what's Google?

if you freeze frame duing the shower scene in Pul Fiction you can catch a glimpse of lil brucie...

www.google.com

Great search engine for images, easily downloadable to your hard drive. Try it. I think you'll like it!

Glam, adjust the "quality" or "compression" factor for JPeg format in your photo editor. If your's won't allow you to adjust the compresion factor/quality, then download IrFanview and use it on those pictures that don't compress enough.

For anyone who just need to resize pictures occassionally for avatars or attachment, IrFanview is a freeware program that does a very good job of resizing pictures and it's easy to use.
