More details required. What size is the original image and what size do you need it to be?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -

You can shrink it as many times as you like until you get it to the correct size.0 -
It could be that you have the box 'preserve aspect ratio' ticked. If it is unchecked, then you can put in any 2 sets of dimensions - HOWEVER.. you could end up with a very squashed or stretched pic!countrymusicfan wrote: »I would like to resize a picture to make a skin for Bebo.

'Preserve aspect ratio' is just keeping the pic look the same <normal> when you change the dimensions of it.0 -
You were right. I had the preserve aspect ratio on. but when I tried to resize the pictures for the skins, I found that when I put in the ratios they asked for, it wasn't what ended up in the skins. The sizes were different. I must be very very dense as I can't get this skin to work at all.Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money but you can't get more time0

Therefore you need to first crop the image to the correct aspect ratio, using the mouse (pixel info in the top of the frame while you do this) click and drag, Edit, Crop Selection. Once you have the correct aspect ratio image, you can then resize the image to the exact pixel size required.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0
