You mean post it as an attachment?


RE: How do i change jpg size? - Jougukny - 10-25-2007

No...I want to upload it as an avatar

Which program can i use to do it.....I have a couple available; but i'm not familiar with using them. :S



Photoshop 7
MS Paint

Ah. Ok, I don't know how to do it in Photoshop, I do know how to do it in GIMP, Paint will be a bit harder.

Ok, if you open it in Paint, you'll have to go to the Options (one of them on the bar) and find Sketch & Skew and keep bringing it down.
(Keep in mind I'm doing this from memory, so it might not be exact)

Hey, thanks for the 411....
I'm going to go online and get gimp...i had the disk once, but gave it away. it was like version 1.1.0 ?? and i just never used it.....

When i get GIMP'd up; i'll call ya back

Cool. I think you need to download the Automated Installer on this page:

Instead of installing a fully fledged graphics package, Its probably a better idea to upload the image to an image bank like tinypic.com (or attach it here if its small enough) and then telling us the url along with the size and dimensions the image needs to be. Then one of us will resize it.

True, but if he learns how to do it, he can do it in the future.


RE: How do i change jpg size? - Jougukny - 10-27-2007

yup, I'm on the learning curve ladies.....thanks for the heads up.

Hmmm....getting this done with a little help from my friends. Cool

Ladies? LOL, I don't think MiNT applies there, hehe. Tongue

Did you get GIMP installed?
