Changing the size of images with a Mac

Hi, I've became a Mac evangelist after I visited Apple's website for the first time last year. Finally I bought my new MacBook, but I'm not yet using it, because I find it difficult to shift.
I'm a webmaster and my website developer told me that I should upload images in the 300 X 350 pixels image size. Now how do I do that on my mac? Suppose I have an image of the size 800 X 750 pixels, how do I make a 300 X 350 pixels version of it to upload on the website?
Thank you

If you got a new Mac, I presume you got iLife with it, so you can use iPhoto. Your problem is that if you REALLY have to have exactly 300x350, you are going to have to recrop your images, because I doubt much of anything is going to have those proportions, as well as reduce the pixel dimensions. You can do both in iPhoto. The Crop tool allows you specify your constraints, you can make custom constraints, and then drag the crop box around and resize it in the image so you get the part that looks best selected, without distortion.

  • Changing the size of images displayed when a thumbnail is clicked

    In an Aperture gallery, how do I change the size an image is displayed when a thumbnail is clicked. There are sliders for changing the size of the thumbnail; I can't find an adjustment anywhere for the size an image is displayed when the curved arrow in the upper left hand corner is clicked.
    Help!

    Hi Kenoli,
    In an Aperture gallery, how do I change the size an image is displayed when a thumbnail is clicked.
    Do you mean "double-clicked"? In "Browser" mode, when I click on a photo, nothing changes. However, when I double-click on a photo, it switches to "Viewer" mode.
    However, I'm missing the curved arrow that you mention. I can't find any photos with a curved arrow over them in any mode. In fact, the only overlays are the badges in the lower right.
    Can you be a little more specific about exactly what mode you are in?

  • HT204053 Our macs were set up with an incorrect Apple ID. Is there any way to change the Apple ID associated with these macs?

    Our macs were set up with an incorrect Apple ID. Is there any way to change the Apple ID associated with these macs? This causes increased frustration during the updating process. After maverick we cannot edit the id being used anymore.

    If you can prove ownership to the Macs, call Apple Care and request the Account Security Team.

  • My eraser tool acts weirdly. Everytime i use eraser tip on my pen, I cannot change the size of it with either tablet wheel or brackets. It changes the size of a brush tool instead. This was not happening in CS6.. Any ideas?

    So this problem is annoying me. Is there any setting that has been added and this got messed up or is it a bug? In CS6 I could turn around my pen and use the eraser tip and change the size of it.
    Now in CC 2014 I can't do it. I have to manually click the Eraser tool, and then change the size. I must say this is annoying as hell.

    Reset the tool? What do you mean?
    EDIT: Never mind, i found out how to reset. I Ctrl+Right clicked and reseted both brush and eraser but it still doesn't fix the issue. I also downloaded PS CS6 version and it works fine there.. So I don't know what it is. Must be a bug in CC 2014..

  • How do I change the size of images for a collage?

    I am trying to create a collage in Photoshop CS4.  I have found info on this and know that I need to create the background layer and then drag the images I want onto the background layer, then free transform the images to make them the sizes that I want.  However, when I do this the image becomes distorted.  Is there some way to make the images smaller and still retain the integrity of the image?  As it works now the people in my images are getting stretched out one direction or another.  Any information, or direction to information would be greatly appreciated!!  Thanks!

    I'm not the most experienced yet, so there may be an easier way.  But, first, the images and the background should be the same resolution...which you can check/change by going to Image-->Image Size.  Then after dragging to your background use the free transform from the corner, while holding down the shift key.  This will keep it proportional.

  • How can I change the apple ID linked with my mac ?

    Hi Everyone, I just bought my first MAC, pretty excited and since I am begginer a few questions has arise, hopefully you can help me with this one.  When I first start doing the setup since i was in a rush I did not took the time to create a new apple id, so I used my husbands. How can I change that ? Somehow the APPLE ID is linked with his i-phone, so I am receiving all his text thru my mac. How can I change that ? Tks alot

    Create your own Apple ID.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    In System Preferences > iCloud, Sign out of his account and use your new credentials to sign in.
    In the Mac App Store (MAS) you can sign in using different IDs to download applications purchased under the other ID.
    Usually the Apple ID is an email that is NOT and iCloud email address. I know... this is confusing. After you create the ID, you can then create your own iCloud email address  and two alises if desired.

  • What is happening when I change the size of the image in the program sequence window?

    I noticed that I can change the image size of my exported file. I imported a 720 x 480 DV file into CS5.5. I went to my program sequence window and changed the settings to show the smallest image in that window. I then clicked on the image and used the handles that appear to make that small image large enough to nearly fill the screen. When I exported my final file and played the resulting WMV, the image on my screen was nearly twice as large as it would have been if I had not previously altered the image size in the program sequence window. I had to do this alteration for each clip in my timeline, or the unaltered ones would stay at the smaller size. The quality did not seem to be significantly impaired. I learned about this on a youtube video. The person who did the video claimed that this was a simple and quick way to upgrade standard video to HD. Of course this is not true. He was only changing the size of the resulting video. Does anyone know what is really happing when you do this procedure and why it changes the size of the exported  video?

    The size (resolution) of the exported video is not affected by anything you do while editing.  It is dependant solely on the resolution set in the export settings.
    Ideally you want to edit in an sequence that matches your media\, which will be the same size or larger than the required export.  In other words, the same or smaller is OK.  Making things bigger in post is not the best option.  If you need things bigger, shoot them bigger.

  • Can you change the size of the preview images on an Apple TV without changing video resolution?

    I have a 32 inch LCD TV. My room is relatively large and I can't easily see the preview images or read the text on the TV across the room. Is it possible to change the size of preview images in the menu screens without increasing the resolution of the TV itself? I think this should be possible, but can't seem to find a way to do it.

    No that's not something you can do on the Apple TV.
    If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here.

    In MAC, I want to change document size from 8.5X11 to 18X24 to create a poster to print through Staples. I created the doc originally in WORD, changed the size in WORD, converted to PDF doc. But PDF doc is still in 8.5X11. Read ADOBE support help info. Terls me to change size in application rather than printer. BUT ACROBAT Pro does not give me a page set up option in FILE. I can only find one in the printer dialog box. Help!

    from the FAQs on Staples website:
    I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
    Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
    Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
    Or does it occur in all other applications.
    Check your Work preferences first:
    If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.

  • In putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I wnt to red

    picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

    If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
    That should do what you are loking for.

  • Is there anyway to change the size of the font in images in slideshow

    You seem to be able to change the size and style of the font in embedded Image Gallery, but is there a way to change the size of the font, that is displayed in the full screen slideshow mode? Small white font over black bars are very hard to read.

    Yes. Hit the Edit button top right of the EXS24. Should be selfexplanatory after that.

  • Troubles by changing the size of a bookmark header text Repot generation Toolkit

    Hello everyone
    I'm having  troubles getting the size of  a header text formatted into a different font size, I attach the code I'm using to get the work done.
    At the end I get all I want from the report generation toolkit but the text size in the header and footer . Does Anyone have a clue?
    Well the image is too small I'm getting an error when I try to post a bigger one. The thing is that the VI's used here to change the size are append report text.vi and format text.vi. The first one is used to insert text through bookmarks in the header and footer  (it works just gereat) and the second one is intended to change the size of the inserted text (it doesn't work at all) I've already used shift registers in the for loop but I get the same results. The last VI is dispose report.vi
    thanks in advance

    Maquina Etdos Verifica Reporte.vi ‏94 KB

    Hello Julio9,
     sorry for the waiting I had to clean the block diagram up and take into account some data security issues before I could post the information you asked me to. I have to tell you that I already came out with a patch for the issue nonetheless it is not the correct way to solve it and I would appretiate if you or anyone else could help me to do it right.
    Here is what I changed:
    In my code at the Initialize state (within the state machine) there is the New Report.vi I opened it to get also the new report SubVI.vi opened, afterwards I selected the NI_Word.lvclass: new report subvi.vi and opened it in its code yoou can easly see the double numeric constant value for the size of the text inserted as default. I just changed it from 12 to 8 to correct the formatting. As the outcome all the text inserted through the bookmarks have the default size (8 pts). 
    I attached the new version of my code with all the documents you will need. Please follow these steps:
    1.-Open the project named Verifica Temperaturas 2010.lvproj
    2.-Run the main vi named Maquina Etdos verifica reporte 2.vi
    3.-Check the option Laboratorio de Refrigeradores:
    4.-Click OK
    5.-Complete the information as shown:
    (For Selecciona Machote pick the word document named Document.doc attached in the .zip file. For the Selecciona Archivo de temperaturas pick the Estacion1_21-02-2012.txt file also attached in the .zip file)
    6.-Press Siguiente
    After completing the steps you'll see how the document in created. As expected the size of the text in the header is 8 pts.
