How to resize photos added to Keynote, without doing it proportionally?

I want to scale a picture I add to Keynote for iPad, but it always does it proportionally. I can't skew it at all. If an object is added it can be skewed and scaled however, but this cannot be done with pictures added?
Am I missing a setting, or a technic?
Thanks

I was referring to resizing a jpeg file.
There is no technological way to resize a jpeg without either:
1 recompressing it.
2 using non-standard jpeg extensions.
The problem with #1 we are mostly familiar: re-jpeg'ing a jpeg causes degradation.
The problem with #2 is that other software won't be able to read them afterward.
I experimented with lossless resizing using a couple different programs (e.g. a libjpeg-based utility), and it worked perfectly, but Lr can't read the resized files (it does not support the requisite jpeg extensions), nor could ACDSee...
So, unless a specification for the jpeg extensions gets approved (and becomes a standard), I doubt we'll see lossless jpeg resizers in wide use.
I have written a lossless crop script, which may be the next best thing, it's free, and available here:
robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
Script name: 'Jpeg perma-crop lossless'.
Comes complete for Windows users, some assembly required on Mac.
It will overwrite original source files, so not recommended unless:
* it's really what you want to do, and/or
* you have backups of original source files, in case you cropped it wrong, or change your mind afterward..
(if possible, originals will be in trash/recycle-bin, so..).
To be clear, in this context, "lossless" means "maintaining jpeg format without recompression" - jpeg is a lossy format to begin with..

How to resize photo to fit screen without loosing proportions?

I am in the process of creating a PowerPoint presentation and it will basically consist of photos, some text and a music background. I want the photos to fill my computer screen, so when I am in Elements 5, I am going to Image menu and then to resize - Image Size, and changing the pixel dimensions here. My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 pixels and I am trying to resize my photos to 1280 x 1024 so that they will perfectly fill the entire monitor when the PowerPoint presentation is played. The problem is that when I go to resize the photos, I have to leave the Constrain Proportions options unchecked so that I can manually and freely enter the values I want for both the Width and the Height to match my monitor dimensions. When my photo is resized using this method, the proportions get thrown off and the picture looks a little funny. But if I check mark the Constrain Proportions option, then I will only be able to enter a value for one of the dimensions since Elements will automatically figure the other dimension for me. This way the proportions look fine, but the photo may not completely fill the screen the way I would like.
Is there some kind of work-around for this seeming catch-22 type of problem??
Thanks,
Lee

That's great about being able to use px (pixels) as the unit of measurement regarding the cropping tool. I will be playing around with this. Thanks for this great bit of information.
Real quick on my question regarding the original proportion of the photo. I am sorry about the confusion here. In my initial question I had mentioned how I had tried to resize my photo(s) by using the Image - Resize - Image Size command from the main menu and was not able to check the Constrain Proportions option because I needed to enter both values for the Width and Height to match my screen size in pixels. But when I did that, I lost the original proportion of the photo and it looked funny and such. People's faces were thinner and longer than they should have been etc... So when you started talking about using the crop tool to get my photo to the same pixel dimensions as my screen, I am just asking if the photo can maintain its original proportions, or might I be running into the same problem I had before when I was using the Image - Resize command. I am not talking about loosing my original photo, I am making all these changes to a copy of the original photo so my original is protected and safe. Maybe I should be calling it the aspect ratio. I am wondering if after I make these changes with the crop tool, can I also still maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo? Because this was my original problem, I was contorting the photo due to the aspect ratio changing. I hope I am using the right terms here being more clear?

Yes but if you have not done so, backup your iPhoto library. That way if there's a problem, you can restore from a backup.

How do I delete 1500 photos on my phone without doing it one by one?

how do I delete 1500 photos on my phone without doing it one by one? How can I delete them on my computer without importing them all? The apple support guy on the phone said to plug in phone to computer then go to finder and see devices and select DCIM folder to delete photos, but I can't even find my device on my computer (only shows up in itunes or iphoto.)

Track is not in any playlists :-)
I think the whole system is just not letting me (who does not listen to music since I'm tone deaf) send my music onto my wife's phone. I managed to copy the file somehow to her phone, but now I cannot delete it again, and I think having 2 itunes accounts is perhaps confusing things - I get the feeling we are not allowed to share music even though I have not got any apple devices of my own. I bought some music but cannot give it to my wife?
I've been messing about with the only song I ever bought on itunes for an hour now, its bedtime, thanks for being so patient with me.

I recently updated my Ipad2 to iOS7 and suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously reviewed and deleted. How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

How to resize photos in iPhoto?

Hi
I can seem to figure out how to resize my photos so I can send them via email or just make them smaller in general. Any suggestions?

What is your email client? If you use Mail, Eudora, Entourage or AOL then just select the photo you want to email and click on the Mail button. You'll be presented with a menu to choose the size of the file to attach to the email.
If you are using a web based email you'll have to export the files to the Desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu option where you'll be able to set the file size and quality level of the files.
See TD's treatis on file access on ways to access the photos for use outside of iPhoto.
Do you Twango?

How to resize photos for web pages

Can photos be resized within iPhoto to be used on a web site? If not what is the best program to do this to keep good quality photos but have a fast reloading time.

I need to edit photos for print and then create a second version for the web.
You can resize photos as you export from iPhoto - use a custom size and set what you need and upload the exported photos
This is how you do that - you can not "resize" within iPhoto - you resize (and make another copy) when you export.
As to your saving photos form PS into the iPhoto library and wondering why it does not work - it is becaus you must NEVER make any changes of any sor tto the structure or content of the iPhoto library using any program other than iPhoto - saving a photo into the iPhoto libray is not supported and will not work - you set PS as the external editor and when you finish editing you save and iPhoto handles the new image

Resize in what way? Length by breadth? Use cropping.

How to: Airplay photos to a TV without Apple TV

This is a request not an instruction.
I would like instructions on how to view my photos, currently held on my iPhone 4S, on my 2009 Panasonic networked TV but WITHOUT having to get Apple TV.
I have a wireless router and attached Synology DiskStation NAS - and my TV is networked via cable from the router. my iPhone 4S is on the wifi to that router.
Can I do it without Apple TV? If so - how please?
Thanks

@wjosten
Apologies if you took my reply as rude - not intended at all - I really thought you were playing a joke on me or wanted to make a pro-Apple sales point, but obviously not, so sorry about my critical response as it has landed on you negatively. You took the time to reply and I should be grateful. I thought your single URL link only answer and the fact it was a 'cable' solution was a message to me saying " get a cable if you dont want to buy Apple TV". My assumption obviously was wrong - the limitations of messaging plus, to be fair, you did not add any explanation whatsoever - just the URL., so I am left to interpret the meaning of your 'URL' message.
@Meg_ST_Clair - thank you for your suggestions too.
Airplay does exist as a service on Apple devices, at least between Apple devices and airplay compliant thrird party hardware. My original question, if it too was not clear, was to ask how U can use Airplay service between my ipHone 4S and non-Apple devices, as I heard it was poossible but so far I have no evidence for that.
Let's reset our convo and assume we are all friendly again!

How to resize photos for email

With a web site, do not post high resolution images as the primary view of your products, that makes your site slower to load on lesser broadband connections, and more expensive to view on wireless connections.
For a web site, use lower-resolution and smaller images for the primary view, and use a web content management system that allows for (for instance) clicking on a photo to view a higher-resolution image, and/or a content management system that allows the user to access a higher-resolution gallery of images.
Default display of and mailing of larger and higher-resolution images chews up potentially very expensive data for folks on wireless connections, and usually won't be popular with mass-mailings. Lower-resolution and smaller and even thumbnails with web links to higher-resolution images — which can incidentally also include tracker URLs, even in HTML-based mail — will consume less of the mobile recipient's cash, and will load and view much faster, or will load. (On iOS, large messages will give the user the option to download the rest of a larger message, which means that most of your mail often won't even get viewed.)
Slow loads and large images can result in web connections get abandoned and mailing list clients drop off lists, too. Thumbnails and text and simple HTML are better.
As for "a good size", run some of your own tests on lower-performing network links, and see how well your content management system and your mail works in these situations — you're probably not aiming for customers on dial-up though I still deal with folks that only have that available — but you're definitely not going to want to assume ginormous network bandwidth with your marketing. One megabit per second (1 Mbps) "broadband" links — and slower — are still very common, after all. Also test your HTML with a few different clients, as there are various differences in how (or how well) HTML is rendered in various mail programs — some HTML mail looks like junk in some common clients.
All of this stuff is fairly typical fodder for web and email marketing discussions, and not at all specific to OS X.

How to resize photo upload icons in Safari?

When I go online to upload a photo from Safari, or any other browser for that matter, the preview icons in the grid view of the file upload pane are tiny. For example, I see the photo icons just fine in the finder window but, regardless of how big or small I scale the photos to be in the finder or on the desktop, the photo icons remain tiny in Safari. The icons were a fine size in Lion since I upgraded to Mountian Lion the icons have been really small and I haven't figured out how to change the size.
Any help to this conundrum would be much appreciated
^this is basically how tiny the icons are, when I'd really like maybe 3 or 4 photos per row

How to resize photos for retina display to avoid pixelation?

My original image file looks fine but after scaling down, it looks pixelated. However, it looks fine on non-retina display. Why is this so and how do I solve it?
Would appreciate your help!

Can you give us more details about the size/resolution of the photo before and after scaling it down?

How to create photo book from Album without cropping

I just came from vocation and try to make a cool photo book out of my "best pictures" selection. Most images are "as is" from camera, so have "standard" aspect ratio: H/W.
I also happy about composition and would like to keep all or most of it.
I tried several "cool" templates, but can not get results I want: iPhoto randomly place my images on random template, but the painful issue is that it is also randomly crops my images to fit these random layout. It probably try to make it look "cool", but it does not make any sense and does not look cool.
I can do it all manually and select template for every page, also, changing mask for every image (for some minimum of mask still crops more then half of image, so page layout have to be changed). I have about 200 pictures I picked for album and I am not happy about doing it 200 times.
It may work for me if iPhoto just flow images without cropping for fit? Extra bonus would be if I can select images I want "big", "medium" or "small"
Can iPhoto automatically create a simple PhotoBook for printing without killing most images with random and some times more than 50% cropping?

Canon S90 - it is Advanced P&S. When I say crop I does not mean a little bit on sides I mean iPhoto 11 some times crop 50% of image, some times try to zoom on faces. At any rate, most images just rendered useless. Say you have normal landscape picture of person holding some thing in his hands. iPhoto made super wide strip out of it to fit in 1+2 kind of layout, so what you see is upper half with face, object in hands completely out and you can not change mask as at minimal settings it is still cuts more than half of image out.
I tried many Themes, but I can not find one that would not destroy my images, that are very typical, hobbits images, with margin usually big enough for small fit crop, but as it is my trip record I would like to keep (naturally, no?) all details in.
Zoom of face may be cool, but when the rest of image lost, what the point?
I can go one by one, but this is time consuming for 200 images. It just make sense to have "preserve image" settings or "simple" photo book template some where... but I can no find it: all settings in iPhoto are kept to minimum , Apple style

Can't figure out how to resize photos

Trying to get photos into Craig's List.
Apparently photo size is too big. Quits uploading.
Trying to get photos smaller, in proportion, in iPhoto. Went to 'crop" and then to the different sizes. Top two are in pixels, I think, one display (1920x1080) and one actual (3264x2448).
Then, down past the 2x3, 3x5, etc. options to customize. Typed in 500x350. But, in the information sidebar at lower left, shows now difference in size.
How in the heck can I decrease the size of a photo to get it onto Craig's List. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Problem solved ... although in somewhat of an unsusual way.
Simply couldn't upload photos to Craig's List.
When trying to upload photos, took forever and then quit. Site suggested I decrease the size of the photos. Never did figure out how to do that in iPhoto.
Went to "Help" menu, called friends, posted in Apple Discussions.
About to quit, when decided to switch browsers. Why not? Was using FireFox. Went to Safari and what do you know? Worked instantly.
Any ideas on what that was all about? Anyway, it's done. Feel like I've designed a Web Page.

How to, resize photo to 80kb's

can this be done on iphoto? how?

you can not resize to a specific KB size - when you export (file menu ==> export) you can resize in several ways - setting a maximum pixel dimension, changing image quality, etc - to hit a specific KB size you will have to experiment
