How do I re-size a photo

I've used Photoshop for years but Lightroom is very much harder to use.  All I want to do is re-size a photo to put on the web, print a particular size, etc.  This should be easy but I give up.

Lightroom isn't more difficult to use than Photoshop, it's just different. You have to learn how to use it.
It may be worth you making some use of the resources available here: Lightroom for Beginners and in particular: how do I export my photos?

  • How to reduce the size of photos

    I want to reduce the size of photos, for example 50% samller. Please give me the steps in iphoto, but outside prepairing photos for export/mails.

    If your talking about reducing the photo by percentage, from within iPhoto to leave in the Library, there is no way that I know of to do that. You must either Export or Send to Email. And even there, now way to simply select reduce by percentage. You would need to detemine the resolution in pixels of the original and reduce the pixels by half.
    I would use Graphic Converter to do that. It has a scaling feature to reduce by percentage.

  • How do I down size my photos on the ipad before sending by email?

    When I send pictures via email from my 3rd generation ipad they are "oversized" or too large.
    How do I down size before sending?

    In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
    In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
    As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email.  If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out.     The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
    If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

  • How can I reduce size of photo but leave it in my iPhoto Library?

    I have a bunch of photos that are work related that I don't need at full resolution but don't want to delete out of my library so I can search for them by how I've tagged them.
    Is there any way to reduce the size of the original photo within iPhoto and leave it in the library?

    No. iPhoto stores the original untouched and then makes copies of them. If you want a smaller original then you have to take it out of the library, edit it to be smaller, then put it back into the library.

  • How do i re-size my photos to 200/254 dpi?

    I am supplying tiffs to a printer, and they have asked for the following
    'save your file at 200/254 dpi as RGB JPEG/TIFF.Saving in this format rasterizes the image, converting it to pixels ready for printing'
    when i export photos to burn onto CD it gives me the option to adjust pixel size, it doesn't say anything about dpi. can anyone help?
    thanks a lot

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Aperture is a photo management application and would require you to use it somewhat exclusively. It's really designed for those who shoot RAW file format.
    I suggest what Larry suggested, Photoshop Elements for Mac. It has about 75% of Photoshops capabilities at about 1/7 of the cost. Amazon.com usually has a deal on it. You can do very advanced editing with it.
    If you do use PSE here are some tips that may help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How do you re-size downloaded photos?

    I have a project a client had produced elsewhere.
    He needs me to add make some minor changes and add some photos.
    The current project contains photos downloaded from google search.
    (It's not for broadcast and is a spec show in house reel only)
    The downloaded photos look excellent.
    He has other photos from google that he wants to use.
    whenever I download and save to my desktop the image is so small- they are unusable in FCP.
    He said the original editor was able to use any photo he wanted regardless of image size.
    I'm looking like a dummy here.
    Please help.
    What do I need to do to get these small images to look good?
    (I tried re-sizing in photoshop and they just look over pixelated.)

    Hi -
    You may have already done this, but -
    When you use Google Images to search for images, if you download the image from the search results page, +you will only download the thumbnail of the image.+ You need to double click on the image you want, and on the page that opens at the top click on "see full size image". Then, if that full size image is a reasonable size, download that.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I reduce the size of photos to use on website?

    Thanks to the helpful person who recommended I use Rapidweaver to build a website, I am slowly getting somewhere. It is so simple and just like Apple applications that I think I can do this.
    My problem now is that when I tried to transfer a photo from iPhoto to the draft website page it comes across so large it fills the page.
    How do I reduce the size of photos so that I can bring them across? I need to show about 20 photos on the web pages. Do they need to be in a different format and if so how do I change it to the appropriate one?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Casuarina,
    Go to this site and click on the Desktop Version Quicktime movie for a small tutorial. It will explain everything to you and you can see how you resize right within Rapid Weaver. It's really quite nifty.

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. 

  • HT1229 How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.   Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
    Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.

  • How can I check and change the size of photo or doc in iPhone or any other app

    How can I check and change the size of photo or doc in iPhone or any other app

    You would need software form a third party to have this option.  The free software that comes with the 8600 doesn't have an option for that. Vuescan is the only software I could find that says it works with your pritner and has a descreen option.  You have to purchase it, but it will give you more advanced options than the software that came with the printer.

  • How to I find out the photos SIZE in inches. It will give the the resolution

    How to I find out the photos SIZE in inches. It will give the the resolution of the image and the file size.

    In iPhoto, images don't have a size in inches until you use them. Until then it is just the pixel size. If you know the pixel size and resolution you calculate it this way:
    If the image size is 5184 x 3486 (like my Canon T3i, you divide the size in pixels by the resolution in pixels per inch to get the actual length, so for some common resolutions:
    Res Width Height
    --         5184     3486
    300      17.3      22.6  
    220       23.6     15.8
    72          72       48.4
    So, as you can see, iPhoto is probably correct in ignoring file size for most recent digital cameras. There is plenty of resolution for almost any size you want to print.

  • How to Reduce size of photos

    Good day,
    I have taken photos with a Pentax digital camera and each photo have at leat 1,5 MO size.
    I have Internet intermediate and I have test to send and email wiht 3 attached photos JPEG and it has take 8 Min. 15 sec..
    How can I reduce the size of the photos with Photoshop Albun Editon Decouverte 3.0?
    P.S. When I take photo with my small Intel PC pocket camera the photo JPEG with resolution 2076x1466 the size are 502 KO.

    Hi,
    Try this
    1. in Adobe PASE right click on the photo and select copy
    2. open up MS Paint, it is under accessories on your programs menu.
    3 under the file menu select new then under the edit menu select paste.
    4. depending upon the size of your photo you may have white background to the right and bottom of the photo - if so drag the outside edge of the white to the border of the photo. I do not expect you will have this with the size of photo you have got
    5. Under the file menu select save as
    6. on the dialog box give your file a different name eg. name_copy and select the save as type JPEG then click save.
    This should give you a copy which will have the same dimensions in pixels as your original but much smaller in size.
    On a test I shrank a file from 872kb to 257kb
    JPEG is a format which shrinks the storage size of a photograph by throwing away some of the data. Some programs allow you to specify how much you want to throw away (this is the quality setting on your camera). This is why your good camera gives you a much bigger file size than the cheaper one.
    MS Paint does not allow you to select the quality but just defaults to low quality which is why the file is much smaller.
    If you have a proper photo editing program you will find that this will allow you to change the size of the picture (pixel dimensions) and the file size by specifing the quality of JPEG required.
    Hope this helps
    Best wishes
    Bill

  • Can not find out how to set size of photos

    Hi
    I have iPad 1 and iPad 3 and iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S and ATV
    bur I can not set the proper size for photos.
    My TV-set is of course 16:9 and ATV sends photos OK to screen
    but I have to resize them in iPhoto or PhotoShop.
    I have also an 6 year old Canon camera and there is the possibility to take 16:9 photos (still) direct
    Anyone know how to set iPhone to shoot 16:9 stills.
    I do not belive Apple have missed something important as this.
    Everyone must have a 16:9 TV-set today.
    Perhaps anyone know about an app as does this?
