Need Pixel Help!

[Cetta]

I can hardly do anything on the computer.

The other day in a thread, I offered to post the wedding pictures of my grandparents that a few people helped me with.

After searching for the picture this weekend, I'm trying to upload it as my avatar. I tried to change the size a couple of times but I keep getting the message that it can't be larger than 16KB and not more than 150 pixels width x200 pixels. I put those parameters into Microsoft Office......but it doesn't seem to take.

Any advice on what the heck I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Cetta

Do you have microsoft Office Picture Manager??

When you open up the picture, what program is used??

Try to see if this fits as an avatar:

Converted to gray scale and reduced size by half

Hmmmm.......ok. I don't know what that means but I'll google it. Thanks.

Hmmmm.......ok. I don't know what that means but I'll google it. Thanks.

I copied the image to a Picture editor (in this case IrfanView), resized the image, and clicked on Convert to Grayscale...
