Re sizing photos? making them smaller?

my digital camera is 7.1mp, so each photo is aout 3.5mb. is there a way i can simply resize them for when i want to post them to a web page etc. i used to just use paint when i had windows and resize to say 30%. and it would cut the file down to about 200kb.
i know its easy to do to email the pic, is there a way to do the same but not email it? such as for when i use ebay, i dont need a 7mp image for that, a 400x600 pixel will do to save on upload times.
thanks

Yes. Select the pic(s) in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. In the resulting window you have the opportunity to resize the pic, change the format and rename the file. Complete the export to the desktop and iPhoto will create a copy of the pic incorporating your changes. Upload from there and after you can trash the copy on the desktop your original is safe in iPhoto.

  • Pictures blurry from making them smaller

    I am trying to use photoshop elements 10 to make an invitation! When I drag the picture over to my background it comes over as 200x200 when I make it smaller to the size I need the picture to be,the picture is blurry! How can I fix this?

    Often a shutdown and restart will fix a multitude of problems. Glad it's back to normal.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

    How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

    I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat.  Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
    Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default.  From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.

  • Slideshow Photos Displaying Too Small?

    I have just created my third site in iWeb and did it identically to my first two. They are very basic and each has a photo page where you can see photos, enlarge them and view a slideshow. Problem is that this third site is bringing up the enlarged photos and slideshow photos much smaller than the other two sites. As stated I did everything the exact same. Any ideas on why my third site is not behaving correctly.
    Here are the three sites. #3 is the issue. Thanks for any help!

    I think iPhoto is storing or making a 360*240 Thumnail or iPod pic to go with the original & that's what is getting uploaded.
    I don't know how it works, but if you could get the big pic say in another APP & save it, send that, I think it would work, like say GraphicConverter...

  • Transition stuck in Photo Album theme between video clips

    I'm working with iMovie 11 and it's the second time this is happening to me. I made a movie using the Photo Album theme that combines video from my iphone and photos. I have a 27 minute movie and I'm pretty much done except that I haven't added music yet. Now I noticed I get stuck again between transitions from one video to another.
    It's a theme transition that's 3.4 s with one clip of 17 s and the other of 7 s. I've tried to go back as far as I could to see if I can get to the point where it wasn't stuck but I can't.
    After trying all kinds of things last time I gave up after hours of frustration and started building the exact same thing from scratch and then it was fine. I really don't want to keep doing this as I've put in lots of time again in this project. I've just tried to change themes, adjust the length of the transition but with no luck.
    One reason I switched to a Mac was movie editing but right now I'm not a very happy camper...
    Can anybody help me before I pull my hair out???

    One more thing I just noticed. I saw that it happens at a bunch of transitions. Some of the video clips have a small yellow 24, 25 or 27 in a grey box on the lower left corner of the clip. I think that's the frame rate. I just thought it happens when it switches between clips with different frame rates but that's not always true either... Can't find a consistent reason. Sometimes it happens between a pictures and a video clip too.

  • I recently migrated to a new mac. in iphoto, some photos have a small flag on the upper left of the photo. any idea what that is?

    i recently migrated to a new mac. in iphoto, some photos have a small flag on the upper left of the photo. any idea what that is?

    That's called Flagging. It's a way to make a quick selection of photos. For instance if you're looking for the best shot to print you might go through the photos and flag candidates for further inspection. Then clicking on the Flagged Section on the left, you can see these selected photos together. You can remove flags by clicking on them, if you mouse over a shot you'll see the option to add a flag by clicking. This can also be done in the Photos menu.

  • The buttons for the audiofiles are big. Can I make them smaller?

    The buttons for the audiofiles are big. Can I make them smaller?
    Is it possible to scrawl, while an audio file is playing on another page?
    Thank you for your answers.

    I'm afraid the audio is an 'on page' function and will cease playing if you change pages. As to the size of the audio buttons, it is possible to make an image up to replace the standard audio button, but be advised that this just starts the audio, it cannot be used to pause it like the standard button can.
    The standard button is sized so that it is easy to hit with a finger - if you make it too small triggering the audio will become problematic.

  • Exporting Full Sized Photos?

    I made a movie using all still photographs. (It's basically a cartoon) Can I export from iMovie 09 and have the full sized photos show up, in order, in a file?
    Basically, I want to export the pictures of the movie and have them in order without any transitions or music or anything.
    Thanks

    You can certainly place photos in any order and choose not to apply any transitions. However export is limited to the video resolution of your choice which at best is 1920 x 1080. You shouldn't expect any better despite the original resolution of your photos.

  • FCP X 10.1.3 is automatically cropping stills, making them unusable. Any ideas?

    FCP X 10.1.3 is automatically cropping stills, making them unusable. It is also doing the same thing to photos in existing projects. Unfortunately, I was trying to complete a project this morning and now it is worthless. Have rebooted and trashed preferences. Any ideas? Thanks.

    These are pictures from our iPhone 5 (3264 x 2448, jpg). The first attachment is the largest size FCP allows to be inserted. The second attachment is the full picture. The screen captures come from FCP's media viewer. If you hover over a picture you get the cropping,
    Project settings follow:
    Changing Spatial Conform settings has no effect. Deleting pictures and re-importing does not work either. Don't hesitate to ask for more information. Appreciate the help.

  • Printing wallet sized photo sheet

    I don't seem to be able to figure out how to print a sheet of wallet sized photos!  Every website that I have found refers to iPhoto 11 but includes screen shots of the printing options that are not available in the version that I am running (9.5.1).  I'm at a total loss!  Any suggestions?  I've attached a screen shot of my print options page.

    Yes, I have also selected 2x3 in the print window. That is where the problem is occurring. If i leave it as standard 8x10 then I get the entire image in the photo print area. When I select anything smaller, then instead of sizing the entire image down to the new dimensions it basically just grabs that area from the larger picture and effectively zooms in on it. So instead of my daughter's entire head, i just get her nose and eye in the 2x3 image.

  • Firefox is scaling down the photo sizes, along with chrome and internet explorer but Firefox's photos are usually smaller

    I sell products on a site, along with other sellers, that is owned by someone else.
    We have many sellers there. Some of us are having problems with how we are able to view the size of our photos taken of our products that are up for sale.
    From seller to seller, we have different versions of Firefox that we are using. I have the newest Firefox, which I believe is 4.
    I was having, like others who use 4, the same problem seeing smaller photos before I did the upgrade as well.
    It seems to be the case for most of us who are having the problem, that Firefox photos scale down smaller than Internet Explorer and Chrome.
    We have been told that this may be a browser issue as the site owners say they have not made any changes. At this point we are unsure since there are so many variations from seller to seller (keep in mind that some sellers are not seeing the photos scale down through their computer).
    We have asked the site owners to look into this problem further. I also wanted to see what the Firefox community had to say. Do you think it may be a browser issue? We would greatly appreciate your input.
    Below are some examples of photos that have been scaled down for the sellers who are seeing a problem with smaller photos while both in Firefox; all using different versions of Firefox:
    One photo that was originally the size of 419px by 1, 007px is being seen by one seller to a scaled down size of 81px by 64px.
    Another seller is viewing this same photo scaled down to 163px by 329px.
    Another seller is able to view this photo as the original size it was intended to be, which is 419px by 1, 007px.
    The above scenario has been the worst scaled down size we have heard of so far.
    Typically a photo that is the size of 1, 000px by 930px has been scaled down to 420px by 391px.
    There are other examples as to size, but you can see that the photos have been scaled down quite a bit.
    You can see that it has been scaled down to less than half of the original size. This can pose a real problem for us depending on the type of product that is being photographed.
    Thank you!!

    Thank you!!

  • I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number.

    Hi, my father is in the middle stages of dementia and having trouble using his new iphone. I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number. This way he can select an icon and it will auto-dial that number. I did some research and an app called SBphotoDial did exactly what I need but it no longer seems to be available in the App Store. Any thoughts?

    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    Make sure that the EXT Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • 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.
