Creative Input or Photo Manipulation Input? :lol:

Find the picture you want to use...

If you have Photoshop...great...just go to "Image" at the top of the screen...and select "Image Size" and then plug in the size you desire (160X160 is the max size for avatars).

If you don't have Photoshop...you can use MSPaint...(not that I'm very familiar with that :lookaroun ). Open up the image you want, go up to "Image" at the top of the screen. Select "Stretch/Skew." In the "Horizontal and Vertical" boxes...you'll see "100%" in both of them...make each of them lower (at the same rate) until the picture is within the 160X160 parameter.

(For instance...set both of them at 50% (which will scale the entire image to 1/2 of it's original size))
