Avatar Picture..Help!!!

[Aussie_Brandon]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but how the heck do I compress a photo?
I've tried to make the pic I want under 15kb, but I can't get it any smaller than 16kb.
Can flickr do it for me?
I'm don't play well with computers...

Not sure about Flickr but if you can get a free Photobucket account, you can edit your picture and resize it to "small." Then you can paste in the direct link.

Yeah, I still expect payment. Haribo is good.

I also recommend downloading a copy of GIMP. It's a free editor based off of Adobe Photoshop. It very easy to learn and makes things so much easier with cropping, blurring, sharpening, etc.

Is the word gimp funny to americans or am is this another aussie thing.?

I thought the same thing with I found it, but it's actually stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. But, yeah, I'm pretty sure gimp is a universal term.

Another vote for GIMP! (Why do I feel like watching Pulp Fiction now?)

IrfanView is another decent program. Alternatively, you can always post your pic in this thread so someone else can resize it for you.

BTW, Aussie_Brandon, I think your av and profile pic are very tasteful.
