You can take any picture and resize it to the proper number of pixels to make it work. Then you put the file into the portraits folder. The file name of the large portrait must end with a capital L, and S for the small portrait.

For a detailed explanation with pixel sizes, etc.

Don't forget to change the format to bmp.

Oh, and one very important thing to keep in mind, especially as many people overlook it: make sure the name of the file isn't too long. For some reason, files with too long filenames don't ever show in the portrait import screen, or at least that's the problem I had.

IIRC, it can't be more than 7 letters.

Take heed that all the information you need is in the readme file. Open it using Wordpad and Ctrl+F; using portrait as the keyword in your search.
