Your Buddy Pic is the picture that people see when they chat with you in iChat. Besides getting your Buddy pic from iPhoto, you can also drag and drop a photo from any other source like the Finder, a Mail attachment or a Safari page.

A buddy pic doesn't have to be a photograph of you— it can be an image that represents you or really any image at all. One of my buddies currently has a jack-o-lantern on Halloween.
  • Find the photo that you would like to make into a buddy pic.
  • In iChat, go to Buddies / Change My Picture from the menu bar to open the Buddy Picture window.
  • Drag the photo you want to use onto the picture area.
  • Use the slider to zoom the photo and drag it to move the cropping.
