I use photoshop to resize my photos. There may be some apps for the ipad to resize your photo, or try online at photoshop.com, or some other free photo editing apps.

- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC
Re: Help shrinking a picture
I go to picasa web to upload, then resize my photos for the avatar. I know, its a pain in the ass because it has to be REALLY small. I can't upload photos from my mac or iphone either. Always say too big.

- Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

Re: Help shrinking a picture
if you have a pc operating system, then there is a ''pictures'' section [ I am really an idiot when it comes to computers, so forgive my terminology; I only learned to do this a couple months ago so I could put pics on DSf !]. download your iPICS to your computer and get the photos into your msft ''pictures'' files, then select a photo, choose ''edit'' then there is a ''resize'' option. hitting I or info will tell you the size of your photo and keep referring to that. at least for me, it is not as simple as dialing in the size you want, but some quick hit-and-miss experimentation will get you there without much hassle.

Re: Help shrinking a picture
If you have a PC with Microsoft Office installed then it is really easy with "Microsoft Office Picture Manager"
Use it to open your picture and choose "edit pictures..." this will open a menu on the right. Choose "resize" under Change picture size.
Play with the values - I normally use "percentage of orginal width x height" - you will see the number of pixels under the "size setting summary"
...
The limits for an avatar are:
Maximum Size: 40960 Bytes (40k)
minimum dimension: 20 x 20 pixels
maximum dimension: 100 x 100 pixels
...
If you don't have Office installed you can use Paint - but it takes more trial and error.
If you have drunk the koolaid and have a MAC - sorry, I don't use them and don't have a recommendation for you.
