On MySpace, I want to add pictures, but I can't, because all the picture files are too large. (The size limit is 600k.) MySpace offered a resizing program (Irfanview) to download for free. I did download it, but I'm having trouble learning how to use it, and how to resize my files. Can someone help me with this?

what you do is you open up th pic you want to use and go to Image at the top (you know where it says file etc.) and click resize/resample and where there are numbers put in how big you want it i usually do 500 in the first box and click ok but it w.e you want and if the pic is like tall (i dont know how to describe) it'd be better if you changed the height to 500 instead of the width :)
hope i helped and if your still confused drop on in my inbox :)
