MS Paint will work in a pinch if you dont have photoshop. Just go to image>stetch/skew and you can reduce it by percentage (you sort of have to guess at the pixel measurment.

Ha.
Popped in on my brother and took a look at some satellite images he is using for research.
Quite impressive.
Asked him what the resolution was.
100dpi says he.
I take another look at it, notice that the section that we were looking at was full screen but showing – in Photoshop – that it was 7.5x magnification.
How big is the image, I ask.
About 200×185 he mumbles.
Used to working in dpi I am slightly confused – oh to have that sort of clarity and image size when trying to attach images to this forum, I thought.
And the file size, I mutter.
Oh, its been reduced to about 185, he shrugs.
K? I ask. Meg, he replies.
Each pixel was the equivalent of 90metres and he had an image that was actually 2070mm x 1869mm to play with.
The largest image he has is a whisper under 700mb. I hate to think what the resolution is on that…

It needs to be 70×70 to fit on here, if you don’t have the appropriate software such as photoshop then mail me the picture and I’ll do it for you.:D

It sure does, I’m currently trying to get the cash together to make a documentary film about the place. Right now I’m off to see the new exhibition about the airport at Renfrew Museum.
It’ll mean driving down the M8 stretch that was the old runway, today I’ll probably pretend to be taking off in a Vickers Vanguard (lol) 😀

Yes Renfrew Airport, GLA’s predecessor just along the road. It closed in the sixties and that beautiful terminal buiding was left to rot until it got demolished in the late 70’s. The runway is now the stretch of M8 motorway between junction’s 27 and 26. A straighter stretch of motorway you’ll be hard pressed to find.

I re-size it using the picture editing software RogerS recommended. It needs to be around 70×70 to be accepted as an avatar on here. If you look at mine to the left, a picture of Renfrew Airport, it started life like this…
The software is free and downloadable from www.irfanview.com it’s also good for making pictures bigger for on here, you can mess with the colours and sharpness etc too.

RE: Avatars
An avatar is best described as an embodiment, usually in human form. The expression comes from “Sanskrit” where it is called “avatara” and means the incarnation of a deity.
