We have a thread in the FAQ section with directions on how to resize an image ... however, it seems your problem is something a bit greater: Make sure you scan in your drawings at an appropriate resolution (measured in dpi, dots (pixels) per inch. An 8x10" drawing, for example, scanned in at 150dpi, will result in an image of 1200x1500 -- very large). If you don't want to resize your images after scanning them, then just set your scanner's resolution to about 60 or 75 dpi. 75dpi is approximately the same resolution as your average PC monitor, meaning that the image will appear roughly the same size as in real life.

Also, when checking the size of your image, make sure your measurement units are set to "pixels" rather than inches, cm, pts, etc.; that will tell you how large it will appear.
