HT2639 Can you resize after cropping in IPhoto affecting only the area that was resized?

Hello, I have resized an area of a photograph that has people in it.  I want to enlarge the photo to get a better image of the people and their faces. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Sally

As I am interested in preserving/enhancing the quality of the enlargement, does this require an additional app?
You cannot add information to an image, that is not there in the beginning, even with a more expensive application.
Try, to get as much as possible sharpness and definition into the cropped out section as possible, using iPhoto's adjustments in "Edit" mode. The most promising are the "Definition" slider (that will add clarity and definition, without adding too much contrast) and the "Sharpness" slider. Be careful with the "Contrast" slider. If the face was in the shadows, you could try the "Highlights" and "shadows" controls as well.

  • Can you assign Time Machine to back up ONLY the starup drive?

    MacPro Desktops. OS 10.5.7 and 10.5.8. I want Time Machine only to back up the startup drive. We do have other internal hard drives and also an external RAID on these machines that all contain audio/video data only, and we back these up separately to various client external drives that are then stored in our office. Can this be done? Thanks!

    yes, you can add those other drives to TM's exclusion list in TM system preferences->options. drives attached to the computer for the first time are placed on the exclusion list automatically.

  • Can you resize a pic in iphoto?

    Wondering, can you resize a pic in iphoto? I didnt really see that option. I finally figured out that i had to click the "i" (information) icon to see the pic size, ex: 1240x526...that kind of thing. I was on a windows PC for the last 13 years and i would edit my pics in the paint program. I would take all pics and resize them to 50% both vertically and horizontally. I did this for 2 reasons, A.) i didnt need the monsterous file size for what i was doing. And, B.) to save space on the computer and the flash drive i saved my pics too. Id love to be able to do the same on my mac mini in iphoto....is it possible to resize in the fashion i described above, by precentage? Thanks so much. O

    Open the Inspector (blue i in the menu bar) and click on the Document tab in the upper left. At the bottom you can select a slide size from the drop-down menu, or specify your own size by selecting Custom...
    Everything you need is in the Inspector!

    If you're referring to the iCloud.com website for you account there are no photos there.  Photop Stream is only for syncing photos between iOS devices and Macs.

  • Can you resize

    Can you resize a photo, to a custom size, on Photoshop  touch for phone or tablet?

    using the "image size" option under the & button you can access a resize dialog.
    this dialog allows you to choose a new width and height in pixels, and gives you an option whether to maintain proportions.
    if you wish to resize an image without resizing the "canvas" this can be done using the "transform" option under the & button.

  • Can you not print pdf to iphoto anymore with OS X Lion?

    Just downloaded Mac OS X Lion.
    Can you noit print pdf to iphoto anymore with OS X Lion?

    From what I am able to determine, the functionality that I enjoyed before upgrading to Lion is no longer available. Previously, one could open a PDF using Preview, select Print and then "Send to iPhoto."  This feature is not there anymore. That is a major disappointment as I used it quite regularly at the non-profit support serviceI volunteer at. 

  • Can you save your crop/bleed marks as well as your slug when saving your Indeign document as an eps

    Can you save your crop/bleed marks as well as your slug when saving your Indeign document as an eps

    Let me guess: Your printer asked you to do this, right? Your printer is living in the 1990s and is probably trying to place this in a QuarkXPress file. And I'll suggest you should run, not walk, to find another more modern printer!
    But, if you have to do it, you could export as a PDF file (including the marks, bleeds and slug). Then in Acrobat, choose File > Export (Acrobat 9 Pro) or File > Save as > Other Formats > Encapsulated PostScript (Acrobat X Pro).

    You do not want to move applications between machines.  Install them the same way you originally did using installation files.  If you need a download link....

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

    Hi Sue,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Try a Repair on the External USB Drive.
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
