I know very little about computers-that being said I have a sweet pic I want to make my player portrait. I have resized it so it meets the 114x169 requirement but its like 52.8 K...so it is to big to be uploaded...its a scanned image-is there any way to make it 10K??? I have googled my life away trying to find it online anywhere-but no luck-suggestions? Advice?
...ps this is my second post-sweet!
...I suck at BB and I love it!

Save it as a .gif file and see how big it it then. If that doesn't help, decrease the number of colors in that .gif.

If it is a photo you may want to try jpg.

It depends on the program you are using. If you can get your hands on Adobe Photoshop, try saving it for Web ... that works well.

If you can get by the child molestor looking mama-jamma on the front page, <a href=http://www.netmechanic.com/GIFBot/optimize-graphic.htm>Net Mechanic</a> is an *AWESOME* site...I use it religiously when I need to fix player images...

Man, you are in desperate need of some image-program...
Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or the one recommended above...

PSP is easier to use than Photoshop... But I bet there are plenty of JPG-enhancers around... have a look at www.download.com

And of course the GIMP - http://www.gimp.org

unlike the above apps, it's free.
