OK, I've takin a picture with my digital camera for my profile, but every time I upload it, it tells me the picture is too big. My question, how do you change the size of a picture takin with a digital camera?

Hi logansmom6--

You're going to need some image editing software. Many cameras (and scanners) come with a simple package "bundled" with the product. In general, you will probably want to use a "lossy" JPEG (.jpg) format, probabloy at 25%-35% compression. This will dramatically reduce your file size, with little apparent quality loss on a monitor (can look pretty poor in a print-out, though.)

Take a look at the graphics programs on your machine. It's likely that something usable was included with one of your applications (or even your Operating System), even if you didn't get one bundled with your camera.

I downloaded a program off the internet that is called IRFANVIEW and its free- works great!!

You can also go to http://www.myimager.com/ and click on the "begin here" button. You upload the photo from the computer and then make it any size you want. Then download the changed file & put it in your profile.
