Hi there guys n gals,

actually IMHO there's nuthing much to worry about, simple conform to the guidelines Mr. Khoo has set and all will be fine.

the guideline states that images must b approx. 120 pixels (width) by 120 pixels (height). simply use any image manipulation software to do the job. U could resize the entire image if that's what u choose or u could crop the particular region that u wanna display, then resize.

Tip: During cropping or resizing pls ensure ur image's mode is set to RGB, this would enable better image quality.

Image Manipulation Software(s);

• Adobe Photoshop (shareware)
• GIMP (freeware)

I use GIMP Version 1.2.4 since it's free.

Here's a simple walktrough with GIMP.

• Click on the GIMP icon, the GIMP toolbox will appear
• Open Image by selecting from the toolbox's menu "File > Open"
• Change image mode to RGB, right click on the image "Image > Mode > RGB"
• Decision to crop or not to crop
  • Crop region
    • From the tool box (with icons) select the icon which is situated, second row, 4th icon from the left [Crop or resize the image]
    • Select the image, hold down the left mouse button and drag. While dragging, a popup dialog box will appear. When u r done selecting the region u wish to crop, hit the "crop" button from the popup dialog box
    • You're done cropping the image
  • Desire entire image
    • No actions required
• Resize the Image by right clicking on the image, "Image > Scale Image". Alter the "New width" textbox to 120px. The Height will automatically change by the correct ratio
• Save file by right clicking on the image, "File > Save As"
• U'r done
