Look for the section entitled "Document Size." Find the box for the longest side of your image, and change it to somewhere between 1 or 3 inches (the smaller you go here, the smaller the file size and the smaller the imnage is for viewing). Under resolution, you can reduce the number to 150 pixels per inch.
