I have ben trying, but without success to use a scanned picture for my avatar.
  I have scanned it in several times, cropped it, then down sized it, but everytime I use the DSC avatar uploader, it manages to upload but the picture is way too big ! 
 I am using a very basic Adobe photoworkshop to crop the picture, then I am using Microsoft photo editor to downsize it. 
 Can anybody tell me where I am going wrong ???? 
 Thanks, 
 Helen
