I use two freeware tools to resize pics, Irfanview to crop to 150x150 and EZ Thumbnails sometimes to reduce the kb size.

Right click the pic.
Choose edit
Choose Image
bring up attributes to see current size
bring up sketch/skew to adjust size
bring back up attributes to see what size ya got
repeat as necessary
Hit red X (exit)
You will be asked if you want to save (ans - yes)
