I don't have anything on my computer that resizes images.

Could someone resize the picture below for me? I want to use it as my avatar



Is there anywhere on the net that has free photo editing software?

I think this is usually the response on resizing (never tried it myself though)

and here's a resizing tutorial

Thank you!

I managed to resize the image, but now I can't use it because it says the KB is too big. Is there a way to change the KB?

Save as .JPG

When using Windows, the easiest method:

- open Paint (located in Start Menu -> Programs -> Bureau-Accessories).

- open yer picture in Paint.

- use ctrl+E for the properties of the picture.

- use units:pixels and look at height and width of picture. For this forum, a 200 x 200 pixel avatar is the maximum.

- for example, if your picture is 800 x 800 pixel, it is four times too large.

- exit the Properties menu and push ctrl+w for the Stretch Menu (I use a Dutch Windows, so these are all guesses at translation here )

- because your pic is four times too large, use a Horizontal and Vertical Stretch of 25%. This makes your picture four times smaller.

- use the Properties menu again to check the 200 x 200 pixel limit.

Then 'Save As...' whatever you want. 'Paint' always makes small files in my experience, ideal for avatars

Iz,you are a f**king genius!
i've just started playing with ''paint'' on xp and was most disappointed that it doesnt say anywhere how to reduce images -or even that you can.all i could find was enlarging or ''trimming''.why they couldn't explain it as simply as you did i don't know.

now my avatar's horns can be seen as intended!

Well...because

as you yourself wrote: Iz,you are a f**king genius!

Actually Paint is a very nice proggie for this kind of small jobs.

I always use this for avatar-making or resizing of pictures I use on the web, because Paint seems to reduce the size of a picture every time you save it.

By the way, you can use it for real paintings too:

I just found this.

It's a rather useful and simple to use piece of software,

Now I guess you'll have to spend quite some hours to get a result like that... In paint, don't you?

It's in the description

IIRC it took him 500+ hours to make.

That makes him either a god or a loon. Possibly both

Can you post it here? With those [ img] [ /img] thingies I mean... Then we can see what could be wrong...

it works here, i just tried it (if you were really quick for about 20 seconds that was my avatar only in the name of samaritanism)

i'll have to try it again. the avatar size on here is different though.
