Please..........
Can anyone tell me how to reduce the filesize of a photo enough to be accepted as an avatar?
I have tried everything I can think of and have achieved an image that looks like the view through the hammered glass on my bathroom window on a foggy day, but it is still too large.
I don't give up easily, but this one is getting me close to trashing my computer.

Tried saving the photo as a tiff or jpeg before upload?

I use a free off the peg app called fotor. It has a host of editing tools as well as a resize feature that maintains dimensional integrity. There are though dozens of resize applications, I do believe google provide one as an extension, but motor does me for lot's of other uses without being unwieldy and complicated like photoshop.
