How do I lower the pixel size of an image?

[Duke Dude]

Howzit guys,

So I wanted to get myself a new avatar but when trying to apply it I noticed that the pixel size was too big . So Google some more and found the exact same image but with a smaller pixel size (Still too big for the forum ). So I was wondering how do I take away some of the pixels of the image I want?

Ok so what you actually asking is how to resize the image...Because pixel size refers to image size actually. So it comes down to the same thing as screen resolution. So if a picture is 1920x1080 that is its pixel size. If you want it smaller you would have to use a image program to resize it to what ever the forum specifies. I use GIMP or ACDSEE to resize my images because it is quick and painless.

What format is you picture in Duke? JPEG, GIF etc

open your picture in paint and then resize it and save it... thats what i normally do.

Irfanview is pretty powerful, simple to use, and free.

Or as an alternative Paint.net. I find it to be one of the best free image editors.

Thanks mate, I looked at it and am just deciding whether to use Paint.Net or this...

Lol, dude where would I d/l it? I'm looking and can only find a link to a free scan of my PC !

Dude are you on Windows?

Just use paint? You can scale by percentage, just scale by around 60%and you should get something useable.
(just remember to "save as" so that you dont destroy the original
