Question....

[BrandonBlackmon]

I have a pic that was taken with a digital camera. I have loaded it and saved it to my PC. I want it as my avator but when I try to select it, a message says it is to big. What steps do I need to take to make it work or can I? Please help!

Thanks bro.:)

[BrandonBlackmon]

ok, does anyone else know how to resize a pic so that it will fit as an avator?

Dude, what the hell? Did it not work? Whats the problem:confused:

I can do it.

Send it on over to mikeschombs@yahoo.com


Just make a post to tell me when you send it.

[BrandonBlackmon]

zephead I didn't recieve it where did u send it?

if a message comes up stating your picture is too big what else would you do other than resize it? seriously - come on now. it doesn't get any more self-explanatory than that.

I have tried resizing it on microsoft word, paint, and other software but it still doesn't work!

Irfanview is the program I use. Its very easy to do on that program.

Like I said earlier you can send it to my email.

That is what I use. Brandon, I replied like 5 minutes after you sent that to me yesterday. I also recommened Irfanview, pretty good program, easy to use.

keep in mind you may have to reduce the quality of the file when you save it... the physical size of the picture is NOT the only variable that effects file size (which is what it could be talking about)... there are file size limitations too!

thanks zephead!

I don't either, it works for me. I know the jpeg one works. Are you linking it from my site or have you downloaded? Download the pic then save as your avatar.

[BrandonBlackmon]

I just right clicked on it; saved it to my pictures; went to change avatar; clicked browse then; selected it

.bmp and .jpg files don't produce that much of a difference

he knows he needs to re-size it. he is asking how. maybe he doesnt know so i see nothing wrong with him asking.

oh yes it does!

Go take a .jpg and save it as a .bmp, then check the file size! Then take any .bmp and save it as a .jpg and check the size again...
