Avatar help! Shrinking pics down

Sign in to disble this ad
I did a search and couldn't find an answer. How do you get an image small enough to fit the size restrictions for Talkbass avatars ? I've done everything i know and can't get it small enough. I have photoshop, i assume it can be done with that ? Help !

thanks

use the resize function on your image editor. Instead of selecting a physical inch/mm size, use pixels and set the size accordingly.

I'm usually able to use Microsoft Paint to reduce mine (standard with any Windows operating system I've had). You can usually bring up the pitcture file...go to Image, to Stretch/Sklew and enter 40% (or so). I then resave it to another file. This usually gets tit down low enough....at least for me. Good luck!!
