Changing size of image (or change image) on index.php (blog) page

Good Afternoon

I just needed to make the image on my blog page (index.php page) shallower so it doesn’t take up most of the page on my blog page.
I wasn’t sure where in the PHP code I could change the image (or change the size - whichever is easier).

I’ve pasted the code on the page here which I’m pretty sure is the applicable part but if anyone could tell me which bit I need to change to change the image for a different one then this would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance:

Code:

<?php get_header(); ?> <?php $image_id=get_post_thumbnail_id(); ?> <?php $image_url=wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id, 'full'); ?>

    <div class="index-banner main-banner" style="">
        <div class="inner mask-overlay">
            <div class="page-banner-text">
                <h1>Latest News</h1>

            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="mask"></div>
    </div>

so how did you get this image up there in the first place?

Hi chorn
My web developer put the image up there when he did the website. Accessing wordpress I’ve been able to make changes to text and images in some pages already previously but I don’t see how to do this on the index.php page. I can see the image in the media directory, etc…
Thanks.
