I know how dumb this sounds, but I'm just confused. (nice forum btw)

I was trying to use CS3 to resize an image (a page of a book), and photoshop would open it in bitmap only. After realizing how much the image quality would drop when resizing in bitmap, I tried to make photoshop open the picture in a different mode like RGB, but I couldn't figure out how. (The only mode I could change to was Grayscale, but it was as bad as bitmap)

This has forced me to resize the picture in mspaint...

Below is one of the pictures I was trying to shrink; its current size is about 2500x3200 (38k). I hope someone could tell me how to resize these kind of pictures in photoshop (I'd settle for mspaint if resizing were the only thing I needed to do)

Thanks for any help.

I can't help probably because of copyright issues.
