left click them, open them in "paint", if the picture is say 400kb I use the reduce size and cut them down to 40% or 50% of their original size (make 1 size reduction or the shurken pics will look grainy), then crop off unneeded portions of the picture, "rotate image", turning it up side down and cropping off more if needed, rotate back to original then click "save as" a jpeg and rename the picture the same thing as before with the letters "sm" on the end, put the pic in the same file as the original picture
MacPaint? Most any image editor enables resizing. The the gold standard would be GraphicConverter.

As of 2012, GraphicConverter can import about 200 file types and export 80.[1] Images can also be retouched, edited, and transformed using tools, effects and filters. The software supports most Adobe Photoshop plug-ins, including TWAIN. The application features a batch processor, slideshow mode, image preview browser, and access to metadata comments (such as XMP, Exif, and IPTC).

GraphicConverter is shareware that runs on both the classic Mac OS and Mac OS X and is maintained by German-based LemkeSoft. GraphicConverter is available in a dozen languages including English, French, German and Spanish.
What's confusing GraphicConverter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says it's Mac only, but Graphic Converter - Convert Image BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, ICO, TIFF, more offers Graphic Converter for Mac and Easy Graphic Converter for Windows

'Graphic Converter.net' shows no connection to LemkeSoft on their website so the space in the middle of the name may be due to trademark infringement.

What's up with turning the pic upside down and cropping a 2nd time? Is that like oil painters who turn their canvas upside down so they can look at it without overthinking the content?
