Press ctrl+W and then adjust the size from there. If you don't want it to get stretched, change the same percentage in both height and width.Making a picture smaller on microsoft paint?
This is a very basic editing program, so draw your frame round the picture, up to Image, size/Skew and change the percentage from 100 to, say 50% both horizontal and vertical and see if that is OK, or whatever percentage you want, but make sure you do both horizontal and vertical otherwise you will distort the image.
Press CTRL+W to bring up the strech and skew dialog box.



You can adjust the size percentages for width and height.



Increasing the values beyond 100% will zoom the image, decreasing under 100% will shrink the image.


ctrl+a resize the selection to what you want, crop of the white



however i do suggest you install gimp and do it, as it uses more complex algorithms to make sure you don't loose as much quality as you would in m$paint
click on the button in the top right of the tool bar and drag it around the picture this should enable you to move it. If you want to cut bits out of it use the button in the top left of the tool bar. ;)
I always used ';Stretch/Skew'; under the Image menu. Then you have to adjust the horizontal and vertical by percentages to increase/decrease size.
