Trying to add an avatar.

I'm trying to add a picture as an avatar taken by my digital camera - this is it

I know it's much too big and although I have downloaded paint shop pro and tried to resized the imageto 80x80 but its too many KB.
How do I get the KB less?

If you can do it, thank you so much! You've really been a huge help getting my used to this forum, and letting my feel more like I am part of it! Thanks again!
 
Thanks

Thanks for your help, as you can see the avatar is working:D . How did you do it? Do you have a special piece of software?
 
Here you go :)

julia - I do use a specialist software yeah, but you don't need it. People normally just use paint but from a more professional point of view It can sometimes make the image look jagged when made smaller in paint shop or paint. Photoshop or Fireworks keeps the image quality :)
 
hmmm...when I put it in it said "The avatar must be less than 80 pixels wide and 80 pixels high"...did I put it in wrong? I saved it as, then did "browse" ...is there a differant way I should be doing it?
 
Im sorry i must be a bit silly!

Hey,

Im having problems putting a pic in the avator, I changed the size and KB to the one specified but still it says it too large when it is not.. I do not understand??

Mizzmarni - You image needs to be 80 x 80 pxls so it will be about the size at the pic above :) If you continue to have any problems ill do it for you if you like.
 
Thanks..

Thanks Toby,

Im going to keep trying but if not it would be great if you could have a go. Also how do you put pics in the text? can you get them off the computer?

Thanks so much
