iChat Icon   Changing a buddy's picture

You can change the picture shown next to each person in your Buddy List. Pictures you add to your Buddy List appear only on your computer. Others won't see the pictures you've selected for them.

If a buddy has already chosen a picture to appear in the chat window, it will appear in iChat AV automatically.

If you want to use the picture that you selected instead:

1.Select the buddy in the Buddy List, then choose Buddies > Get Info.
2.Choose Address Book from the pop-up menu, then deselect the "Only use this picture" option.
3.Choose the image file you want to use.
For best results, use a image that is 64 x 64 pixels in size. If you use a larger picture, a window appears that lets you resize and crop the image to the appropriate size.

If the buddy is in your Address Book, the picture will also appear on the buddy's card in the Address Book application.
