How to get AVATAR pic?
Here is the dumb question for the day. I want to update my avatar to the now painted plane.
Cant shrink it small enough to be the 80 x 80, keeps rejecting as too big. So..used my photo editing software, cant make it that small. So went to picture hosting sites, uploaded and shrank it there to avatar size. STILL NO JOY, can shrink to 80x80 but cannot get down from 23kb to the max 10kb size.....and its rejected. UGGGGHHHH
Help. can build and fly airplane, cant shrink photo ...what the....??????
Anybody?????

There was an old thread about doing the avatar thing-----you might try a search for it.
Be sure to set the time frame in the parameters to "any date"

I tried in photoshop
I saved one of your pictures from a previous post and was able to shrink the picture to 80x80 using Photoshop.

I feel your pain...become a moderator
I had exactly the same problem when I went to change my avatar to the eyeball a couple of days ago. I finally solved it by letting the moderator, who I sleep with, change it for me. Apparently the rule doesn't apply to moderators. The 10 kb limit seems to be a real killer! You struggle to get it down to 80x80 and only then does it pop up with the 10 kb limit. Reminds me of some federal operations.

In PhotoShop (and least the version I'm using), you can press Ctrl-Shift-S to save as a .jpg file. Doing this gives a pop up box where you can assign the 'quality' you want. Higher quality gives higher file size. You can play with the number until you get something 10KB or less. Hope this helps!

That'll depend on the tool you are using. With Photoshop, you can change the quality level which has a direct relationship to file size. |
