Yes computer literate me again.

Have a look at my Avatar, how do I get the quality up while reducing the pixels to the 80 x 80 ?
EG I start with a 2 meg ish Jpeg. If I view the pic I then have the option of cropping the pic by pixels, if I crop it to 80 x 60 roughly pixels this is the result I get, Im not using any software other than the paint or whatever it is that comes with XP. ops:

There is a program that you can download free. Its called irfanview. http://www.irfanview.com/ You set it to 50% and resize your jpeg and it will do the rest. Failing that there is a website that will resize your avatar free.

Hope that helps :wink:

MS Paint is a pretty simple tool, and I rarely use it. Perhaps you You may have already tried this...

In the menu bar:

Image > Stretch and Skew

Now calculate the % you need to shrink the image. E.g. if you started out with a 640 x 480 image, then you will need to set the horizontal and vertical to 12%. Save it as a JPG and see how that looks.

If you happen to have MS Office installed, then the Picture Editor in that suite does a good job of resizing images.

I hope this helps.

I have had the same problem, however, I now have found that Photobucket does it very efficiently. Here is the address - http://s197.photobucket.com
Create an album and edit picture here, resize is the area to be. This can be the base of your picture additions to the forum.

Quick question

How do you make your Avatar larger then the 80*80 as I notice several members with large Avatars then the recommended size .

I know size isn't everything ???? But it would be nice to have a bigger one (Avatar that is)

cheers

You can modify the size of the image you upload or link to.

Please remember to follow the avatar rules though to avoid issues with breaking the page:

16. Avatars
Due to the fact that some users may be on slow internet connections (Dial up, Sat or Wireless). It is only fair to all users if we set a limit on Avatar sizes. Some have been seen recently topping out over 7.5 Mb!
Any users avatar must be no larger than 250Kb (kilobyte) in size. Animated, video or whatever. This will ensure less bandwidth on the servers and also a speedier page loading for everyone. At the end of the day, pradopoint's bandwidth is paid for by Aaron, bigger avatars means more bandwidth on every page loading, more bandwidth means more $$$.
Avatars are to be no larger than 100 x 100 pixels.
