In case you missed it earlier today, ActiveRain introduced the ability to now upload an HD profile picture in which you can crop & edit right on the network.  If you missed the announcement, take a minute to read all about it on Brad's post: It's time to update your photo- In HD.  To me, this is such a wonderful feature because for some reason, it seems the pictures of me where I am actually smiling and have my eyes open always have someone else in the photograph. (I should win an award for the worst person ever to be photographed.)  Now, I can use some of those pictures & crop out the surrounding people without needing to use photo editing software.

The video below will show you just how easy it is to use this feature.  I uploaded a new photo of myself, edited & saved it in less than 2 minutes.  Remember though, when choosing your new profile photo, make sure it is at least 600 x 600 pixels wide or you will receive an error message.  As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me for help!

Jer...

I really love these video tutorials. You make it easy to incorporate these new features. BTW I almost missed you post because of the profile pic change ... I don't adapt too well!

June- It does appear like it takes a few minutes for the updating to process through to your comments.  I didn't pay close attention to mine, but I would say it was updated within an hour or so.

Jer - I did mine yesterday after the show.  Thankfully, I had an HD version of the same picture I was already using, so I am still recognizable.  :)

Very simple.  So, how do I do this with my driver's license picture?  I have few pictures of myself and that just happens to be the best one (by far)!  I'm having a problem with scanning in the photo with the holographic coating on it...

Hey Jeremy! I'm trying to upload it and keep getting an error message...the "pear-shaped one" which I love as error messages go...I've tried a 3000x3000 pic, a 2000x2000 pic and a 1000x1000 pic..I'm thinkin' this isn't my issue? True?

Hi Brad,

I do not have an option to add a photo to my profile.  I am not an upgraded member - do I need to be in order to add a photo? 

Thank you,

Yvonne
