I personally would use photoshop to resize the photo to my screen
resolution size and 72 dpi.

But there are a ton of editing programs that can resize images.
Even http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm is freeware and may
suit you.

Look for photo editor, resizer, etc in google.
Sometimes if you bought a digital camera, they also come with same basic
tools to do this.
