Any picture editor can do it. Here are the parameters from the book.


Select a portrait for your character. To import a custom portrait, you
must follow the instructions below:
The measurements for player portraits are 38X60 pixels for the small
ones (8-bit color only) and 110X170 pixels for the large ones. Create a
directory called Portraits (including the capital "P") in the root directo-ry
where you installed BGII: SoA. The default is C:\Program Files\Black
Isle\BGII - SoA. You will have to add an S to the end of the small
portrait name and an L to the end of the large portrait. The names
must be 1-7 letters long, maximum.
For example:
XXXXXXXS.bmp for small (38x60, 8-bit)
XXXXXXXL.bmp for large (110x170, 24-bit)
For multiplayer, each player must have a copy of the portraits,
otherwise they will see a silhouette with a question mark where the
other player’s custom portraits would be.
