Don't rely on POF to re-size the pictures for you because they will come out distorted or crappy.
It is best to re-size your pictures to something like 350x250 or any size under 500x400.
If you haven't got a photo editing program , then use a freeware application called IrfanView , it works really good.

Posted: 8/17/2009 4:19:02 AM | | Some software is not capable of resizing pictures without noticeable artifacts such as your "kinky hair". I use a freely available program called The Gimp that does a very good of resizing without artifacts. Also, since cameras take a rather large picture these days, it helps to select an area of the image of interest and then crop the image to that selection and then size it as needed. This will help control the jaggies as well. | |

The kinkyness is due to the fact that when the images are resampled, there's no intelligent resizing, it's just discarding pixels...when you have a line that runs anything except 90 or 180 degrees, the act of reducing the resolution causes the line to become jagged and look more like steps.
I generally resize everything to 320x240 using The Gimp's resize tool on either cubic or Sinc resizing. Works wonders. | |
