This is unusual. Most people ask if they can enlarge them.
The easy way, if you are using raw format, is just to use dd to make the smaller
sized file and then fix the partition table. A defrag might be helpful.
The hard way is to make a new blank disk image of the right size, and then to
create the partition table and file systems in the new disk image, and then
copy everything over.
