I have been out of photography for abit and am trying to get back into it. In the process, I am now using Lightroom 3 and need to polish some skills.

However, try as I might, I have not been able to resize an image to use as an avatar. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions?

Thank you,
Allen

Allen,

I may be wrong about this, but your lack of responses to this question makes me think I'm correct. Lightroom doesn't provide the image sizing capabilities you need to produce an avatar. It is a database archiving system with some "development" attributes. I produced my avatar in photoshop by using image>image size at 40px x 40px, then file>save for web and devices. Hope this helps...

Thanks for posting this question up Allen, and thanks for your answer Marc :^)

I'm also using LR3 as well as PS and, though I have made unsuccessful attempts at this previously, Marc's directions worked a treat, though I chose to go the maximum allowed of 48px x 48px ;^)

Thanks again, from me and my Ring-Tailed Lemur friend :^)

Thanks Marc- That was my problem. I went to photoshop on an old laptop and created one/ Thanks to Ashley too.
