Upload Errors
FF - 03av (Small).jpg:
File Too Large. Limits are 800 x 600. Your file is 640 x 634.

634 pixels tall is greater than the 600 pixel height limit.

Download WWW.Irfanview.comIrfanview -- it's free, easy to use for resizing and seldom distorts images when resizing.

Photoshop can resize images very well, but you have to deal with resizing the image, resizing the canvas, and exporting to JPeG format. Irfanview is just a matter of selecting Image/Resize from the menu bar, typing in the maximum dimension to the size needed, clicking OK, and saving.

It takes longer to load this thead and download an image to resize than it does to resize it -- and most of that time is finding the copy I saved to resize.
 
** yeah, i caught my mistake a bit late **

I will have to check it out, thanx WH!
 
Here you go and may thanks. Wish I could fathom out how to do this myself but I just sit there making adjustment after adjustment, getting gradually homicidal and still the damn thing won't upload. I'll post the full size version that I haven't messed around with. Many thanks.

Hi Retrieval, thanks for the help. I'm afraid it's telling me the pic is still too large though :(


Oh yes. "pic must be 150 x 150 pixels or 15.0 kb. Whichever is smaller".
I forgot about that. The pic is the right size pixels wise but it's still 5.0 kb to big.
O.K, I've tried taking it down some more but it’s just a blur. The problem is that the picture has to much colour in it, colour takes a lot of kb. Maybe there’s a way around this that I don’t know of but I doubt it. I suggest you find something with less colour. :eek:

OK, thanks again for trying. Will have to find a less complicated pic :rose:

resize s/w

use limewire and download


"picture resize genius"

great program and really easy to use
 
I see everyone getting help on resizing their avatars, however, isn't there a way (I've tried some of my own programs) to do this on my own?

Step by step instructions would be appreciated. Thanks!
