Check my avatar...looks cr@p eh? It was taken on a 4mill megapixel camera, and i want to know how to compress pics so that the image is not pixelated like my avatar.

Please help.

Also, a icon by the name of 'Hotkiss' keeps appearing on my desktop, i've tried deleting, but it keeps coming back! How can i get rid once and for all?

Cheers guys! ;)

Use Photoshop's image resize option. It's somewhere in the toolbar, forgotten where, but probably under Image. That hotkiss thing is on another PC downstairs and i've been unable to get rid of it aswell, I tried adaware etc, it won't budge. I'm gonna format it

Try reducing the number of colours and save it as the lowest quality JPEG you can get away with.

As for hotkiss, make sure you have the latest Ad-aware definitions loaded ('Check for updates now' on the main screen).

andy T - email me the pic and ill shrink it for you if you like?

lol that's some good encouragement.. though very kind of you.

People's MSN pictures always end up like that as well if they dunno how to shrink it.

Also try doing a Google search on that hotkiss thing. Usually some forum (another forum) will have answers to your questions and instructions on how to remove it :D
