Personal Avatar Problem

Ok Ya'll, we have just returned from WDW and I have a pic that I would like to use as my avatar. Not being a computer genius I am having some trouble getting it download, it is telling me that it to many pixels. How do I make the pic small enough? Please help.

Re: Personal Avatar Problem

Open it with Paint and use the "Image" menu and slect "Stretch/Skew"

Enter 50% in both vertical and horizontal to cut it in half. Then save it.

If that's not small enough, you can do the same and use 75%. Keep using 75% until it's small enough.

Sorry.... I'm such a computer snob. I forget that there are Macs out there.

I don't know what kind of graphic editor comes with Macs.
