I find by far the easiest way is to right click the photo and select edit. This should, on a windows system, open the photo in Paint, if not then you need to select Paint as your editor. Click on resize which opens another small window, click the button for pixels and, if the original photo is in landscape, enter the number of pixels you want in the horizontal box, if the photo is in portrait then enter the number of pixels in the vertical box. The other box will then be automatically filled with the correct number of pixels to keep the correct aspect ratio of the photo.
For example my Avatar photo is 100 pixels wide by 74 pixels deep. Which seems to be about the right size for reducing a photo by about 90%. Most of the photos I use on the forum have been resized this way, this for example is 800 x 600 Don't forget to use 'Save As' when saving and giving the resized photo a different name otherwise it will overwrite the original. Sounds complicated reading it but is very simple in practice.
