5.Now under Stretch Horizontal and vertical type in what percent you would like your image to be (i.e. if you type 50% you image will be half size) Make sure horizonatl and vertical have the same percent. I will be using twenty percent. One more thing make sure you dont mess with skew only change stretch NOT SKEW.

7.Finally lets save go to "File - save as"
