I'd like to reduce a photograph of me to become my new avatar. What program would you suggest I use to do this?

If you're on Windows 7, Paint can now decently resize images - just open up the photo of you and select "Resize" in the Ribbon. Otherwise, try a freeware image editor like Paint.NET or The GIMP.

Thanks, Don. I am using Win7 so I'll give it a shot.

Greetings ....

There's a great utility called Irfanview that can re-size any image and convert it from one format to another.

Beside using the famous Photoshop, if you just want to do something quick such as cropping, resizing, ... (and using a Mac), I recommend ImageWell.

This is freeware as is their Faststone Viewer. Also an excellent program is Faststone Capture, now shareware,but you'll can to do a search for the last freeware version of this app
