OK, here is how I did it.
1. Open a photo/picture in Photoshop.
If you don't have Photoshop, there is a step 0.5 or something :)
2. Crop the image so that you just have the part of the image that you want to use for your avatar.
3. Choose to "Save for web"
4. Set the number of pixels in size that you want you avatar to be (note that HDC has restrictions on the pixel size of an avatar)
5. Choose to save as a JPEG
6. Then set the quality of the JPEG until you get a file that fits the size contraints of an HDC avatar.
7. Save it
8. Go to HDC and change your avatar. Upload the image to HDC (or use photobucket etc but you can upload directly from your computer to HDC which is easier).
Any questions?
