How do i shrink a picture for the size of an avatar?

use microsoft paint and go to strectch and skew that is how i did it.

How do i get it in there just copy and paste?

Index sized images on your cardomain public page is acceptable as well

Photoshop for me! File size is the hardest for me...

yes that is what i do

Try setting a specific dimension In "picture size" select pixels as the measurement intead of inches or cm
tell it what dimension to reduce to and it will automatically adjust the other dimensions to match.
TIP: make sure to specify the larger dimension when doing this, otherwise your picture will come out dinky

If you want a simple program for viewing pics, and basic editing (crop, resize, rotate) check out ACDSee ( www.acdsystems.com ) I have the power pack, with their big editor, and I much prefer it over paint (too basic) or Photoshop (too complicated)

If anyone tries it and likes it, I can usually swing a discount as an employee
