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!

Jeremy ~ That was cool & easy to do. I was just thinking about changing my photo the other day and here you have this new cool tool and you get extra points for this too. Thanks!
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.
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?
Thank you so much! that WAS easy!. Now ....here is another question for you. Why can't i get pictures in thru other areas. Such as my signature or posting a listing? is it something I need to change in my computer? Thanks in advance.
