Is there an easy way of making the image take up less space on the page?

I want to retain the image, but due to situational modifiers being listed I've started to loose skills on to page 2...

No idea really, never print. You could try some of the alternative character sheets I have heard mention of one made by "Ancient one".

I've never worked out how to use that...

Try alerting the size of the image used... I'm quite sure I've done that before to get a smaller picture.

I dropped a 600x600 image to 200x200, and it still took up the same area on the page. But that's given me an idea... Ta.

Cracked it.

I've resized the image so that instead of being square its rectangular, twice as wide as it is tall with plain background on either side, and the character sheet still fits it into a column's width, but drops the height.

Haha, an inventive solution! Congrats!

I would've opened the sheet in a browser and inspected the CSS properties involved in setting the size, then modified the original HMTL template. That approach wouldn't require modifying the image and would work with any image on any hero, but your solution doesn't require knowing anything about HTML/CSS.

It's nice to have choices.

I do Suggest looking into Ancient Ones Sheet. It's fantastic.
