Well, after you resize it, save it as a jpeg or something. Those are much much small sizes.

Just go to SAVE AS and scroll down the file type bar until you see. .JPG or .GIF or something.

If you want to reduce the file size open the image in photoshop. Go file>save for web.

Select the format which will best suit the photo. Jpegs for full color images, gif for vectors and such. After you select a format you can manipulate the quality settings. Underneath the preview image it will tell you the file size of the saved image at that quality.

A workaround for the size limit is to create your avatar, and upload it to another photo hosing site (tinypic.com photobucket.com etc) and then have your profile link to it.
