Use photoshop. If you don't have photoshop, PM me about it.
Geonovast Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Have PS Element 6.0.What should I convert to? You should be fine converting to a jpg if you're just uploading a still pic for your avatar. The jpg you're dealing with my have a problem, try opening it with your PS, copy and paste it into a new file, and re-save it as a jpg again. Make sure your height, width, and file size are right for the site. I've noticed with mine, PS 7.0, that when you save a jpg and it tells you it will be about 30k, it actually ends up being like 34, so save it smaller than you think you need it.
mjdoa Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Sorry,i've been off in the ozone. :oops: I'll try again this evening,and thanks.
