Hi, @miralf,  
We need more detailed description than that to be able to help.

What are dimensions and resolution of the image you are using?  
What are dimensions you want your image on a page?  
How do you place the image on a page (which stack do you use)?  
How do you “scale it low”?

Do you have the **Stacks plugin**? If you don’t, I strongly suggest that you get it. It makes the whole process of website-building much more flexible and it expands your possibilities enormously.

What resolution are JPEGs that you drag into RW (for example: **72 ppi** , **300ppi** or something else)? I suspect that your images may be in wrong resolution.

When I tried to replicate your steps on my computer by creating a _Styled Text_ page, then adding an image and double-clicking on that image, I was able to resize it to 20% and it showed in that reduced size in Preview with no problem.
