How do I make a picture smaller (to use for my avatar)
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've been looking and "Searching" all night and have seen no refernce to this. So here's what I've done so far: Have a ".jpg" picture that was originally 434K. Right-clicked on it, said "Send to email recipient", then selected "make all my pictures smaller". Saved to my hard drive. Result was that the picture is now around 63K. BUT, I can't find a way to make the picture any smaller than that. (Same process doesn't result in any smaller pictures).
I've seen several avatars that look like they must be personal photos, so there must be a way to do this and it's just eluding me.
Any tips? Here's my picture.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I use the free app image resizer. It works as a right click popup and is easy to use.
