Hey, I had the same problem last week and here's what I did. Save the pic to your Pictures Folder or to the Desktop or where ever. Then, after you save it, 'right click' on the pic and select edit. Once in 'edit', go to 'attributes' and change the . ... ... . hold on, I forgot what it's called, I'll go check.

Tired Hiker
Okay, forget the whole 'attributes' part. Click 'edit', go to 'image' and then click on 'Stretch/Skew'. In 'Stretch/Skew', there are two boxes that will say 100. Change the 100 to a smaller number and keep doing that until it works. I think I typed in 20 in each box and it was fine. You have to save each one though once you shrink it. Good luck!
