Mac or PC? You have to use an image editor to change the resolution and pixel dimensions.

I print the picture, take it to copy machine, reduce image, scan, save to PC, upload..

ok, seriously

Using PC? Windows?

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp

Look under "power toys" tab > Image Resizer > click link and it should begin download process

Or just google "picture resizer" for your particular operating system.

Using that tool/software, you just mouse over the pic/right click/resize picture to desired size

on a PC, just open it up in "Paint" and re-size it. I usually re-name it so I can keep the full-size pic and then re-size it down 50% and that usually does the trick.

I'm lazy...too many steps. Besides, with "picture resizer" it keeps the name of the file the same but just adds "(small)" or "(large)" after the name. That's extra typing you have to do to rename the file. I'm all about being efficient. =d>
