Errr I wonder if somebody technical could help me!
I surprised myself by actually managing to get a pic of me and my husband as my avator, but we are tiny! Is there anyway you could zoom in and chop the sides off so that we can be seen?! (Believe me I've tried, but have no clue )

Would be much appreciated....

Hi Helen, you need to crop the picture before you resize and upload, or if you have the larger image you can send to me and I will do it for you.

Let me know and I will PM you my email address.

Take a look at Helens avatar ok.

As you can see theres lots of wasted space outside the main picture of the couple. The trick here is to "crop" the original picture first getting rid of all this. Then resize.

Helen,
i just managed it!

have you got a phot editing programme on your PC?? If not see here for one Merlin recomeneded (free)

there is a crop section on the programe, crop the picture, so that it is close to your bodies, then resize it to 100 x 100.

good luck!

Here you go Helen, looks much better now.

Canim I adjusted the exposure a little on your picture too.

Merlin, I can't do anything with yours, you need a good dentist
