I used paint and resized them at 25% vertically and horizontally...
Well MSpaint isn't really the best software to resize photos with I am sure you could find much better software for that purpose for free.
I don't know what's the original size of your photos but I usually just resize my photos to 1024x6## or 800x5##
It's much easier especially after I have cropped some of them.
