If you are using Windows, simply open Paint (Start---Programs---Accessories---Paint), Click, File -- Open from the menu bar,and browse for your photo (make sure you have All Picture Files selected in the drop down box). Open the picture file. Click on Edit in the menu bar. Click on Select All. You will have a dotted line around your picture. Now select Image from the menu bar, and click on Stretch/Skew. You can type in the size of the picture (in percent) that you want to reduce it to (i.e. 40% horizontal, 40% vertical). If you don't like the results, just select Edit from the menu bar, and click Undo. Once you have the picture the size you want it, save it with a unique file name, such as JD Carburetor reduced image, or something descriptive. Make sure that you also have the colour depth that you want for the picture selected in the drop down box before you save. You can even save it as a black and white if you like. Reducing colour depth makes the file size smaller, and can be done without sacrificing too much detail if done correctly. I am sure Apple users and Linux/Unix users have a similar program at their disposal.
