How do you get rid of pic limitation in DoD?

[Corvette1]

This morning, I had to re-install DoD:S since it was screwing up at times. When I went to apply my pic of the Corvette, it said I needed to have a pic with pixels of 258, 128, etc.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Jim Jones told me to go to steam forums, but I don't have an account, or at least one that I can seem to log in with     Anyway, some help would be greatly appreciated

open the picture, and go to resize the image or whatever to a smaller image size. Someone else might be able to explain it more.

1ST-open you .jpg with pothoshop
2nd- resize to 128 x 128 or 256 x 256 (maximum)-i go with 256x256 ..
3rd save it as vtx eight bit alpha-point-unsharpen mask
4th copy it into the steam/steamapplications/material/vgui/logos (not sure of the real folder path)
5th import it from the options menu

and ur good to go

thats all good, but I don't own photoshop.  I'm npt at all sure my pic will fit the 256x256 format either. Why did they have to put this stupid restriction on the pics anyway?     Whats it going to solve?

Try Gimp. its a free image authoring software which would allow you to work with images, much like photoshop. You can download it free from here. Or if you need something much better, you can get it from here.

I do pretty much the same thing but I save it as a targa file and I don't need to put it in that folder (if I remember correctly).
