Like...Trump huge.

I use Irfanview, but you can do it on MS Paint as well. Using either program, open the photo's file.

Using Paint:

Click on "Resize" in the upper left-hand corner.

Select "percentage" or "pixels". I use "pixels", and get the picture into the range of 800x600, which displays comfortably without widening the forum's formatting.

Using Irfanview:

Select the "Image" dropdown menu, and once there select "Resize/Resample".

A pop-up window will appear Offering "Select new size" (in pixels, inches, or cm). I use pixels and again get it to around 800x600.

You can also select percentage reduction in this window.

If you don't have Irfanview, it's freeware with very reliable and well-monitored downloads. It has some great tools for adjusting or modifying pics, too. Just Google "Irfanview free download" and go to town. I've been using it for five years with nary a hitch. I am not affiliated with them in any way.

Yes! Some of the most beautiful eyes I've seen in my three decades of life have been brown. I know a few songs in Spanish about brown eyes, too.

You should make an Eyeballs thread. The beardless among us could join in. Tongue

Speaking of which, I shaved the goatee off. Back to the simple 'stache.

Like...Trump huge.

Use the img tags built into the forum software.

Code:
[img=540x304]http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1606/NGC2547ID8_Spitzer_4005.jpg[/img]

Will turn this 1080x608 image:



Into this image that is 1/2 the size (EDIT: Apparently the original is bigger than Google says it is... Tongue):

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Sure. Even I've got the balls to post my balls. I'll put my pic there instead.
It's only of a half-face, anyhow.

Gotta work on making it smaller, though.

None handy, just did it today. The picture a few pages back of me holding my brown guitar is pretty much the look, though.

Too much grey on the chin, and it was annoying my skin.

The forum img tags don't work for me for resizing so if they don't work for you...
