If you have a program like Photoshop or paint-shop (ms paint) will work in a pinch. you can change the size of picture. you change the width to say 8" and if the keep portion box checked the height will change automatically. There a lot of other program some come with a digital camera or a photo-printer.

I fix cracks in the dash you could spay the dash with contact cement wait until it gets tacky and sprinkle a bag fur remnants from road kill.
Just kidding.

Pretty cool repair. I bought a used dash pad with no cracks for 30 bucks.
