How do I make a photo file size smaller? The photo is .jpg.

I need to make a photo file size smaller for some other uses.
imac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iphoto 5.0.4

Haha yes i forgot that you may not be using Apples Mail. Lets try the export then file>export, then under the heading "format" click JPG. Then click "scale images no larger then:" in the width field type "800" then the height field should change by itself. Thats what i do for emailing, it's usually the best trade between quality & size, that should be small enough to email. Best wishes JAG
P.S. when you first click "scale images no larger then" what's already in the width height fields? thats your actual photo resolution.

  • Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

    Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it.  I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes.  With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray.  While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
    One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray.  It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope.  Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing.  I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray.  I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
    My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310.  I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray.  To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7.  The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray.  Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
    The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets."  The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
    If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful!  I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

    Hi,
    Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
    From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
    From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
    You need to select right custom size from the application.
    Regards.

  • How can I make a picture fit entirely in the photo box in a book.  The picture size is small, but the it only shows part of the picture, and the zoom is all the way down.

    I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding.  I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
    The picture size is small.  But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller.  Doesn't go far enough.  When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture.  Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out.  I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto.  I have used other sites to make books.  This is my first try with IPhoto.   I may have to revert to the old familiar ones.  Wanted to give this one a try.  My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband.  I am quickly running out of time.  (The wedding was this past Saturday)

    Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame

  • I have tried to use File - Export to reduce the size of my pics to send via email and all I get is a blank pic.  How do I reduce the size of the photo and still have the photo?

    I have tried to use File > Export to a folder on my Desk top to reduce the size of my photos and all I get is a blank, grey screen.  How do I reduce the size of my pics so I can email them?

    Where are you getting this screen?  In iPhoto after selecting the File ➙ Export menu option? If that's the case try this:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
    You can resize photos outside of iPhoto with 3rd party applications like Resize!.
    Click to view full size
    With it you can change both the pixel size and file size of the photo to the size that suits your needs.  For other such apps go to MacUpDate.com and search for "image resize" to get a list of potential candidates.

  • Photo File Size and Photoshop processing

    On  previous discussion, Steve Grisetti noted that problems with burning are sometimes associated with photo file size.  The post stated that Photoshop Elements has a batch processing selection that can resize photos all at once.  I when to Photoshop, selected process multiple file, selected source, save in same as source, and resize images 1000.  When I viewed my photos after, about 50 of my photos were now duplicates of other photos For example, I put all my pictures in timeline order prior to doing my video.  If I found a NEW photo after I had already scanned and named the photos, I would place the NEW photo in the picture folder by adjusting accordingly:  1.jpg, 2.jpg 3.1.jpg 3.jpg The 3.1.jpg would be the NEW photo.  Photoshop replaced 3.1jpg with the picture in 3jpg.  Does anyone know how to restore my photos back to the original "3.1jpg"?  The backup is not accessible at this time.

    If I understand you correctly you have been using the renaming feature and the parameters you used caused file1 to be renamed to a pre-existing filename (file2). If this is so then you probably have lost the original file2. An undelete utility may help (try Piriform Recuva).
    For the future when using batch conversion it is good practice to select a new folder for the outputted files.
    It is also good practice to burn all image originals to a CD or DVD immediately after importing from your camera. This way you can always recover originals.
    Here are a couple of screenshots, the first from Elements Organizer and the second from Photoshop Elements. Which one did you use and what parameters did you enter?

  • How do I find out the file size of my photos, and change them to the size

    This will sound inane, but I cannot figure out where to find the file size of my photos in iPhoto. I need a jpeg of a certain file size and image size for my blog background, but can't figure out how to even start.

    If the limited quality options do not get you the file size you need export the full size image files to a folder on your Desktop and use Resize! to batch resize the image dimensions and file size (jpeg compression level) to what you need.
    Click to view full size
    With Resize! you can fine tune the pixel dimensions and file size.

  • How do I minimise the file size of a photo?

    I am trying to find a way to miimize the file size of a photo so I can use s a avicon. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export
    Two settings will impact on the File Size:
    Jpeg Quality refers to the amount of compression applied to the file. Size refers to the dimensions (length by breadth) if the image.

    How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    Hi vickyb,
    Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • How to make a huge file size fit

    I have a project which is (sounds silly) about 7 hours. the file sizes arn't that big about 300 meg each but the 0verall project size is 20 gig can I possibly somehow encode this size of project to fit on a 4.7 dvd or should I make one long film in FCP and export that as a QT or something like that......

    You have a couple of options.
    First, consider creating a DVD9 and using AC3 audio - your bitrate would have to be about 2.3Mbps... which is very low, and the visual quality may not be too great.
    Second, instead of using full D1 sizes, use Half D1, which reduces the horizontal resolution and therefore the file size. The visual quality is (IMO) better than VHS and you could encode at slightly over 4Mbps, which is getting acceptable.
    Third, consider making a two disc set. This is not such a bad option as you get to use full D1 encodes at higher resolutions, but of course need to make two DVDSP projects for the content.
    If you went for a double sided and dual layer disc you could achieve the same thing.
    Finally, consider using MPEG1. This has a max data rate of about 1.5Mbps, and so you should easily fit 7 hours on a DVD9... and probably on a DVD5, too (at about 1.4Mbps).
    In all cases, reduce the audio to AC3, no matter what.
    A final option is to be more aggressive with the editing decisions! Cut back on the total amount of footage and get it all on a DVD9 at higher bitrates.
    As a guide, four hours of D1 would need to be encoded at 4.5Mbps to fit on a DVD9, using AC3 audio at 192kbps (a stereo sound track).

  • How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello
    How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello Jan,
    You can limit the size of system log.
    The size of the application server's System Log is determined by the
    following SAP profile parameters. Once the current System Log reaches
    the maximum file size, it gets moved to the old_file and and a new
    System Log file gets created. The number of past days messages in the
    System Log depends on the amount/activity of System Log messages and the
    max file size. Once messages get rolled off the current and old files,
    they are no longer retrievable.
    rslg/local/file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOG<SYSNO>
    rslg/local/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOGO<SYSNO>
    rslg/max_diskspace/local 1000000
    rslg/central/file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJ
    rslg/central/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJO
    rslg/max_diskspace/central
    Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/c7/69bcbaf36611d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm
    for explanation of profile parameters.you can reduce the size of system log using rslg/max_diskspace_local and rslg/max_diskspace_central
    But you can't reduce the size of job log files on OS

  • Different photo file sizes when copied back from external HD

    I backed up some photos to an external HD (80GB, same size as in my iMac at the time), with Mac OS Standard format, under Tiger. The internal HD crashed, taking much unbacked-up data with it to the digital beyond.
    Now with my new Leopard iMac (and wisdom acquired by experience), I have noticed a different file size on the different drives after copying the photos back.
    Other posts have pointed out differences in memory allocation / block size as the culprits, however, can that make the large difference seen in my case?
    Example 1 is a Tiff file of 8.2 MB on the external HD, which shrinks to 6,8 MB when copied to the 500 GB iMac drive (taken from the Get Info window)
    Example 2 is a JPEG which shrinks from 1.2 MB to 552 KB when copied over.
    Examples 1 & 2 also shrank to 6.8 MB and 576 KB respectively when copied from the 80GB external drive to another, 320GB external FAT32 drive.
    So my question is: Am I somehow losing something with the shrinking files? Does memory allocation/block size difference make that big a difference?
    Thanks for your help.

    I think I ought to mention that I also have a new laptop and have experienced file sharing permission issues with some applications. Might this be part of the problem? (Although everything seems to be properly owned!)

  • Changing photo file size

    I am wondering how I change the file size of some photos that I need to send. I need the photos to be 40k and a maximum resolution of 400x400. I don't know how to resize them. I am sorry I can be a little slow when it comes to technology.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Select the file in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The resulting dialogue will give you the option to resize the pic, then click export and choose a location where you want the smaller file to be placed.
