HOW DO YOU FIND OUT THE DIMENSION OF THE PICTURE?
1. Using Windows Explorer, look for the image you want to use as avatar
2. Right click that particular image file and choose Properties (last entry)
3. The image properties would appear, click General tab and look at its Size
4. For the dimension, click Summary tab, and click Advanced and look at its dimension (Width and Height) or alternatively
5. Simply copy the file into My Pictures folder, from View menu, click Details, then you can see the size and dimension altogether or another alternative
6. From the original location (original folder other than My Pictures) of your file, click View menu, then click Details, then click View menu again, click Choose Details, you'll see a list of details you can select, select Dimensions and click OK
Hope this helps.
