How do I resize a photo in iPhoto?

Seems like a simple question, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the instructions. Not resize it on the screen, just resize it in general.
Or is there other photo editing software on the iMac G5 that will allow me to resize a simple JPEG?

Hi Kay,
If you are going to use the photo for another application or uploading or sending as an attachment in mail, then you would use the File>export command in the menu bar. In the export window you can input the dimensions.

  • How can I resize a photo in iPhoto without cropping it?

    I am taking pictures on my iphone 4s and using iphoto to edit them on macbook pro.  I need to upload these photos at a size much smaller than what i am able to take with my phone.  The only way I see to adjust the size of a photo in iphoto is to crop it.  How can I resize without cropping?
    Thank you

    It's an option in the Export menu.
    File -> Export and under the Size option you can choose the maximum you prefer. Export that and upload from the desktop.

  • How do I resize a photo in iphoto and keep it in iphoto library

    So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is.  Why can't I do this in iphoto?

    So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is.  Why can't I do this in iphoto?
    iPhoto - either on your Mac or on IOS devices, is designed as an application with a lossless workflow. All adjustments and edits are guaranteed to be reversible. You will always be able to revert to the original  image. And that would be impossible, if iPhoto allowed you to clandestinely exchange the image file in the place where the photo is stored. iPhoto would not know how to undo the changes you did without using iPhoto to do them. If you do not need a digigal assets management program with a lossless workflow, don't use iPhoto - then you'd be better off with something like Picasa.

  • How do I resize a photo in iPhoto to downsize it

    If I can downsize the photos in iPhoto, then I can save a batch of them on the FlashDrive. I don't see a method for downsizing or resizing them.

    I am used to using Photoshop to reduce the pixels and image size. Does Iphoto have this option or just large, small etc. If the latter does anybody know what the image size is for small? I need to reduce a series of photos to 120x100 to fit into a website.

  • HT2481 How do I resize a photo in iPhoto?

    The Edit menu gives me choices to rotate, enhance, etc. but not resize.  Very fustrating.  

    What do you mean by "resize"?
    On export you can change the dimensions (length by breadth) or the file size.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
    How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

  • I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    You can make the collages easily if you have iWork.  Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary.  Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround. 
    If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

  • How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom ?

    How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom?  Thanks, I am a novice to Lightroom.

    To access your Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop and Lightroom
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name] > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
    2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
    5. Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop or Lightroom from the file on the desktop.
    or
    7.  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
        Then access the files in the folder via Lightroom and Photoshop

  • How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?

    How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?
    My iMac lost all of the photos in the iPhoto library about 3 OSX updates ago (current system 10.9.1) but they recently appeared on my iPad. I have looked at all of the iphoto libraries on my iMac (3) and one contains 419 photos, one contains 3 photos and the main library has place holders with description information for 3741 photos but no photos. My iPad has all of the photos in iPhoto. How do I move them?

    The answer is no. There is no originals (or masters folder) that I can find. Below are the following folders in iPhoto:
    Events Folder: 71 place holders with decriptions including 6 recent photos
    Photos Folders: 3741 Place Holders with descriptions
    Photo Stream: 1 photo
    Last 18 Months: 157 photos
    Last Import: 1 photo
    Cloud: 229 photos
    1 Album: 3 placeholders with descriptions
    Slideshow: 1 placeholder with description
    Many of the actual photos are recent and are duplicated in one of the abovefolders

  • Is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?

    is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?

    The dpi depends on the print size you'll be making. This explains it in detail:  The Myth of DPI.
    A 300 dpi image for a 4x6 print will have fewer pixels in it than a 300 dpi image for an 8. 10 print. 
    You can set the pixel dimension of a photo by exporting it via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and use the Custom size setting.  However, you should crop the photo to the size ratio you want before exporting, i.e 4 x 6, 5 x 7, etc.  Then set the maximum pixel size you want for the image:

  • How do I shrink a photo in Iphoto to fit a standard 8X10 page? I read that I should right-click in the Customize Preview page, but nothing happens

    How do I shrink a photo in Iphoto to fit a standard 8X10 page?  I tried to follow Old Toad's advice to right-click the image on the Customize screen, but absolutely nothing happened.

    You must think I'm an idiot, Larry, because you have been incredibly precise about your instructions.  However, as I keep saying, when I get to the "customize" screen, and I right-click the preview image, absolutely nothing happens.  I don't know what is wrong, but I can understand why you would give up on me. I simply CANNOT get the option "fit to frame."  Thank you so much for trying.  I think I had better give up.
