Well, I use Adobe photoshop. I just crop what I want, then I adjust the image size. That usually does it for me.

Which is exactly what I do as well [what Jeremy said]

Smaller: there's two kinds of smaller...file size as in how many kilobytes or megabytes the pic is, and actual measurement size, as in how large the picture actually is - its physical size.

A small photo, say 3 x 5, can be a larger file size than a larger photo, say 5 x 7, if the small image is saved at "best" quality, or something like 300 dpi, and the larger image is saved at "low" quality, or something like 72 dpi.

File format also affects file size as far as kilobytes and megabytes go, i.e.: .tif, .jpg, .gif, .bmp, etc.

Any photo-editing program should let you crop to get rid of the unnecessary parts of the image, and then resize to get the right physical size, and then save as a particular quality, or dpi, to get the right file size.

Hth,

Try this in Photoshop (if you have it mnreefman):

Open up the file you'd like to scale down.
Go to the Image menu and select Image Size.
The pixel dimensions should be locked, so when you change one it automatically adjusts the other to maintain the proper length to width ration.
You'll have to play around with the pixel size to figure out which one is best for your application, but try starting at 640 X 480 and work down from there.
