Well, there's a couple ways.

You can make a it smaller file type, like a .gif or a .jpg

To do that, when you save the file, go to "Save as" and right below where you name the file, you should have a file type list.

You can also make the picture itself smaller.

Most picture viewers have options for resizing pictures.
Making the picture smaller was already mentioned by the Sgt, but I'll add this just in case the OP isn't aware of it yet.

Big, burly picture. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

and indeed, it's a 2592x1944

but with a little resizing

it becomes a much more elegant 640x480 (and the filesize decreased significantly)
