PhotoshopElements is probably the easiest to get the hang of and doesnt cost the earth.

If it's a single shot that you want modding post it up here and I'm sure one of us will have a crack at it for you.

You need to open it in some kind of photo editor and change the amount of pixels in the image - not as complicated as it sounds. If you are feeling brave then have a look at Gimp - http://www.gimp.org/ - it will let you open your pictures and change the size of the image and also compress it so it loads nice and quickly :)

or you could just send it to Matty :p depends how crazy you are feeling :D

P.S Gimp is free

just had a very quick play. Tried copy the background but it failed - so turned it into more of a background texture.
