I got mine off a website, then converted it into grayscale and reduced the image size in PhotoShop (the grayscale didn't hurt because the original color image was of a black and silver object). I'm pretty sure you don't need a full-power photo editor to do the same thing, I just happen to be somewhat familiar with the program. The real trick is finding a good image that's either small to begin with or can be shrunk without looking like crap.

Yes
Get Paint-shop Pro
http://www.jasc.com/
Go to Trial Software and Get Paint-shop
Now find a picture you like
Then slap it into Paintshop convert it to .jgp(Open the file save as .jpg where it ask you to save it as what type, Open up THAT picture and squish it down to 60x60)
My currant Avatar for example was an 800x700 BMP but through JPG converison and squishing it I met both the size and demension limit

thanks
But once I have downloaded the picture and shrunk it, How do I put into my profile as I can't seem to find the avatar box there.
maybe someone can list the steps, It will be a while before I have the secure internet connection I need to accomplish anything.

Two things
1. Go the Warze root and just download Kaazaa(File sharing program, head to www.kaazaa.com or search through www.cnet.com download sections for it)
Type in *Paint shop under the Kaazaa search feature and it will remove that timer letting you use the program forever
2. Alternativly just keep ticking your calanader back a few days as although it says 30 day try-out its realy 45 before it stops working.
Not saying you should just giving you options
