How do I reduce pixels
I want to add an avtar to my posts and use a photo but they are all too big. How do I take or reduce a photo to 155x155 as per the instuctions on this site. I have the normal type 5m pixel camera. Any help for a thicky thanks G
Open the file in paint. Use the selection tool to copy the very small bit that will show in the avatar. Do file-new Then do paste - you now have small-ish pic of your avatar Go to image-attributes and check the pixel dimensions Now go to image-stretch/skew and reduce the size by an appropriate percentage Save your result as a new file name !
Easier is to download Ifranview from http://www.irfanview.com/ This is a very simple program that's free. I use it all the time to view my photos and vids. load/open the picture you wish to reduce. Go to "image" and select "resize/resample" type 155X155 in custom and then choose "save as" in the file menu.
As for moving pictures, you will need a program such as Paint shop or coral and layer the pictures or animate them. These are normally GIF files.
