Hello all
Wonder if anyone can help me. I'm trying to upload a photo from my hard drive (I have an eMac) to use as an avatar. I've reduced it to 17K in Photo Shop but when I press "submit" in the avatar control panel I keep getting the message telling me that image files have to be less than 20K.
I'm clearly doing something wrong. Must admit to being a bit thick when it comes to IT! I'm still using wax tablets for my normal letter writing!!!
All help will be gratefully received.

If you are using an apple mac, go into photo shop, open the original photo, then go to "file" and "save for web" you'll get three photos which have been altered an the original.
Go to the bottom right and you'll see a "colour table", next to it you'll see "image size"
Make the image pixel size 100*100 then click the top right photo which should tell you the file size, it shouldnt be any bigger than 4 or 5k.
Once you've done that, right click the photo's icon in whatever folder it happens to be in, select "get info" and check the file size
Vio la hope this helps biggrin
Hi Libra Love
Thanks for the reply. I've already downloaded this. I've got it on my desk top. Should it automatically kick in when I upload my image or do I have to double click on the icon once I've got the image in the Avatar control panel? Thanks for your help.

Use that programme to resize your piccie, then go to your profile and upload the resized picture. Hope that's what you were asking. It's late, I need sleep, so may not make sence. confused
Thanks Libra-Love and Bradford couple for your help. As you can see I managed to get an avatar. All I need is a decent photo. Have to go through my toga wardrobe! Cheers
