Resizing a JPEG for a Avatar
OK team, I've got a digital camera, and many great photos. All I need now is to be able to resize my pics so they fit the size limits. Any idea how to do that? The avatar I have now is something like 1/100th of the original photo, which wont work well for most of my pics.

to resize/resample is a simple edit feature, you type in 60 pixels and "presto"

OK step #1
#1 Right click and select "Open with". Should give you a list of all of your photo editing software. Select "Microsoft Office Picture Manager"
#2 Top menu, 4th over from the left click on the "Picture" menu
#3 Select the "Resize" option. Down towards the bottome of the picture menu
#4 Resize menu is on the right. I usually just shrink it down using the percentage option. I dont remember what FTE limits are but once you get those you can experiment with % or just type in the new "Custom Height" (3rd down) pixel settings.
Looks like we need to place a TOP THREAD with instructions for this procedure for the various Photo Editing software out there. I also use Adobe 2.0, Unlead 4.0, Picture it 7.0, Microsoft paint, Adobe 7.1.01 to name a few.

Kinda a creepy looking guy. I like the puppy but I wish I could program it to have a little fun. I share a computer at work and it would be nice to have it, well do its business. Good for a few laughs.

thanks for all the help.
mlb4966 I must have a different version of office, since i don't have that option on mine.
Anyway, as I'm sure you can see, I've got a new avatar. I finally found a program on my home computer that can do this.
Hope y'all like the pic, I took it this summer on vacation in Alaska.
