Want to put up an avatar.....How do I change pix

Post by RickRund » Fri May 20, 2011 3:26 pm

Most are 3.5KiB-5.5 KiB but the pixel size is probably double.....What do I do? Windows 7, FireFox.....I right-click on the image but it only gives the properties. Thanks

Where are you trying to get the image from?
You'll probably need to save the image on your computer somehow and then just shrink it in paint or photoshop to the desired dimensions.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

I went to Montana State University images and just found the ones I wanted and "Save as".....I will try to take them to a Photoshop program and see what happens......Thanks

Resized all the photos I will probably use.....These programs in Windows 7 are, or seem to be, different than XP.....
