When resizing photos/images, you want to keep the width to height ratio the same. Most graphics editing programs will keep them proportional unless told otherwise. In the Gimp program, when I scale an image, it ties the width and height together so changing one automagically changes the other.
For example, I open a pic that is 616 pixels wide by 428 pixels tall and then select Scale Image. I then type in "150" for the new width and the Gimp automatically sets the height to 104 to keep the proportions the same.
To get the resulting file to the right size, I test saving it out with different compression ratios to get it under the size limit while retaining as much quality as I can because .jpg files use lossy compression (meaning, it will throw away detail to achieve smaller size).
