Shrinking a Pic for an Avatar

[shutupndeal]

Hi Good Peopullz,

Can anyone point me in the right direction or explain how to shrink a Pic (in laymans terms PLEASE) so it will fit to this 80 by 80 pixel size? Lol, Id love 2 catch the dude that limited us to 80 by 80's and I understand why they should be small but couldnt they just make it so the pix automatically shrink to size with all the brains these geniuses have? Before you get "rude" remember we can send a man to Mars now, waaaay past the Moon Ok?

All avatars I have had automatically shrunk to size.

1. Download the Gimp.
2. Resize the image using Gimp.
3. Have everyone thank you for not having to download a ginormous image used exclusively as a friggin' avatar.

paint doesn't handle all image types, IIRC.

Got rid of that avatar a little while ago, but not sure why you see that message. I even checked my preferences and its not listed their as my avatar. Weird.

The Windows XP version now does GIF, JPEG, PNG. Should be easy.

Select a square portion of the image, and cut. Use the Images > Attributes... menu and resize to 1 by 1. Paste the image back in. Use the Images > Stretch/Skew menu and select 80 by 80.

Done.

[The Stranger]

its gone now. yeah that is weird

[smokingrobot]
