Just use Microsoft Paint or any imaging program to 'crop' it to a smaller size or better yet when you SAVE or 'EXPORT' it use JPG ie JPEG file format and if it asks you for compression use like 70 or 75% and that should make the picture smaller. (ie in your application just go to file menu, save as or file menu, export etc..)

You can also try uploading it here:

If that was the picture, it was 1.8Megs so I resaved it compressed to about 300K only. You can get that version here:

I copied this from the Help file in Microsoft Paint:


To change the size of your picture
On the Image menu, click Attributes.
Under Units, click the unit of measurement you want to use for the width and height.
Type the measurements in Width and Height.
Notes

You can also resize your picture by dragging the image resize handles, located at the lower-right corner and along the bottom and right sides of your picture. (You might need to maximize the window to see the square resize handles.)
If your current picture is bigger than the new size, the picture is cut from the right side and bottom to fit within the smaller area. If your current picture is smaller than the new size, the extra area is filled with the selected background color.
