When placing photos in a book template how can I reduce the size to fit

This drives me nuts. In Photos for Mac when I place a photo in a designated place/frame in a book template I can only increase the size/magnification. I can't seem to find a way within the book making process that lets me shrink the image to fit in the frame. Do I have to go to the trouble of reducing the size of all the book images before selecting them to put in the book? This would mean I would have to create duplicates. Please tell me it isn't so...

You probably need to use a different theme. The option "fit to frame" is not available for all themes, see:

Arrange photos on a book page in Photos on Mac - Apple Support

Fit an entire photo within a frame: Control-click the photo and choose Fit Photo to Frame. (This command isn’t available for all themes.)

Try the "Picture Book" theme , for example. In "Simple Shots" you cannot fit the photos to the frame.
