If I scan something, it usually turns out to be a 1042x1130 picture, or 
something ungodly like that.  How can I scale it down, KEEPING THE ASPECT
RATIO, to something that is smaller?  And no, I didn't pirate it.  I use
the NeXTs at the university, and I can't find the manuals for it.
Thanks.

1.  One of the inspector panels on scan-X has a resolution tag.  Change the  
resolution to a higher number to make the image shrink.

2.  A similar option can be done with Scene.

3.  Get the pbm series of utilities and run the following pipe:
tifftopnm filename | pnmscale -s scalefactor | pnmtotiff > newfilename
