Keeping all images in full resolution
This can be changed on a per-workbook basis by going into File -> Options -> Advanced and then scrolling down to Image Size and Quality. Select Do not compress images in file.

Keeping only some images in full resolution
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this on a per-image basis, so you will need to manually compress any other images that you don't need at full resolution.
If you are inserting many pictures, the quickest way to do this is:
- Insert all pictures that do not need to keep their original resolution
- Save
- Insert any pictures that do need to keep their original resolution
File -> Options -> Advanced -> Do not compress images in file
- Save again
If you only have a few pictures, you can alternatively click on the image you would like to compress and select Format -> Compress Pictures.

In the Compress Pictures window, ensure that Apply only to this picture is checked and select the resolution that works best for your purpose.
Thanks for the info, another way to do it would be to insert link to image. This option shows up in the insert picture dialog.
