Hi suegee, and welcome to the discussion boards!
Head to iPhoto/ File / Export to choose between various options concerning the size and resolution of the images before uploading them to your website.
Cheers

    Here's two apps you can use or get Apple's iPhoto for the new iPad.

  • Reducing kb size for uploading/emails

    Hi there,
    I have not had my new iMac long and am still getting the hang of using iPhoto and am a bit of a techno dodo at times.
    My problem is that I have no idea how to reduce photos in pixel/kb size for uploading onto the web and for emailing to freinds and family.
    I have tried using help but not getting very far.
    I know there is probably a very easy answer to this, it is just that I have missed it somewhere.
    Thankyou for your help.

    What are you using for E Mail? If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto, and that process allows yo to scale the pics.
    If you're using anything else, then select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. In the export dialogue you have the opportunity to scale the pics, among other things. Then complete the export to the desktop and upload that copy. After the upload or e mail is finished you can trash the copy on the desktop - your original is safe in iPhoto.

  • Reduce photo size

    I have tried following all the possibilities for reducing a photo size for email.
    I do not get any options for reducing the photo size when I attach a photo in an email, I get no pop up boxes or choice to reduce the picture size.
    Any clues please

    if i get the question right - you have phtos on your pad, and want to up[load them to somewhere, but they are too big.  if that is the case, here is a workaround - until somebody smarter comes through with the right solution.
    Mail the photo to yourself.  I just mailed a photo that was in i photo at 4.1 meg to myself.  When it arrived, it was 104 k.
    If you mail it from the camera roll it will also reduce size.  you can then save that new image, and upload it.

  • Photo size and uploading to Apple

    I'm in the process of making a quite large iPhoto book for my SIL for her b'day. The photos are a compiltion from many of mine, and others sent to me by family members. They are all different sizes, resolution, color and B/W.
    After getting them organized, doing a bit of fixing on PS, I now am ready to get them into iPhoto.
    Is it wise to take them all into Lightroom where I can do an easy batch change of the resolution? I have read where they should be around 300. It is easy to change them and the test prints I did at home looked ok, even on the small ones that aren't too big to start with. On the export menu of Lightroom, I have the option of stating whether I want them to be exported at JPG, Tiff etc., and I can change the resolution and photo size too.
    I probably would export them as JPG, 300 res. and not change their size. Is this ok for the iPhoto books?
    Also, if they are of a higher resolution, I assume it will take quite a while to upload them to Apple even with high speed fiberoptic cable internet service.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks, Allie

    Allie:
    DO NO USE Lightroom as it messes up the metadata and makes the files not useable in iPhoto. You do not have to preprocess the files to set the dpi to 300 specifically. The only important feature of the file is the pixel dimensions. If the pixel dimensions are large enough as you state you can leave them as is. iPhoto will fit them into the frame you choose and the dpi will be determined that way. No matter what size the files are the book is converted into a pdf file for uploading and printing. My last book of nearly 100 pages came in at approx. 25MB.
    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.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

  • Reducing photo size for email

    I'm stumped ... how do I reduce the size of photos for e-mail?

    If you are using a client supported by iPhoto you simply select the photo(s) and click email - one of the options is JPEG compression and another is photo size
    If you are using Apple Mail then you have a second selection available in the lower right hand corner of the mail create window
    If you are using a non supported client including a web browser then you must export the photos first reducing them as part of the export process

  • Reducing Photo Size

    Recently I shot some photos of a pee wee wrestling team.  I'm trying to get the photos of the individual wrestlers to fit onto a 3.5" button but the photo keeps cutting off part of the wrestler.  How can I reduce the size of my photo to fit onto the button?

    One way to resize the image is to go to:
    Image >> Resize >> Image Size.
    You will get something like this:
    Hope this gives you some ideas.

  • Reduced Photo Size

    I've got a problem. i had 7 gb of photos in my library, also they were backed up using backup on my firlite hard drive. I don't know how this happened, but my library size was reduced to 238 mb, reducing each individual photo size, and making many of the photos nearly unviewable. I didn't notice this until after the next backup was scheduled (they are scheduled every week), so the photos backed up on the hd are the same way too. I'm sure there isn't, but it would be awesome if there was some way to get these photos back.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This is a long shot but you might try SubrosaSoft FileSalvage, in it's demo mode, to see what it can find on your external HD that it can recover. It will tell you what it finds before you have to commit to purchase. If there hasn't been much activity on that HD may not all of the files have been overwritten and may be recoverable.
    I don't know how your files could have been downsized. Are they about 360 x 270 in size? That's the thumbnail size for most files.
    Do a search on your boot drive for images whose sizes are greater than about 100 KB to see what's on it. It's a long shot but give it a go.
    Do you Twango?

  • IPhoto keeps reducing photo size when I crop (from 3MB to 500KB).  I want to keep the edited versions at the higher MB size!  Any help with this?

    I've been using iPhoto for years with good success.  Recently, when I edit and crop artwork photos, it's been saving the cropped photo as a much smaller version, going from around 3MB to only 500KB or smaller.  I need the cropped version to be as big as the original.  Not sure why this is happening but could use some help in making it stop.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    I know that I'm cropping the physical file but in the past this wasn't an issue for the size of the cropped piece.   Even if I take just a little bit away, the file size is somehow getting deeply reduced.  Resolution is still fine on the screen or for a quick email,  but for when I need to make a high quality giclee print for a client, the 500Kb size just won't do.  I need to retain the 2Mb original quality.  I'm attaching the examples here.  And thanks so much for helping !

  • Photo size when uploaded from camera

    I have been trying to order prints off of snapfish, and keep getting the resolution warning on every single picture. I have a Canon Powershot camera and have adjusted it so that it is on the highest resolution, so I think the problem comes from uploading to iPhoto. According to snapfish, 4x6 photos need to be 540x360 pixels and all of my pictures seem to be 270x360 pixels. Can I fix this?

    1. Where are you getting these measurements from? These 270 x 360 sound like the thumnails that iPhoto creates for display in the iPhoto Window.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Reducing photo size/resolution

    Hello!
    Trying to print tiny versions of much larger photos on a cv. How can I reduce the image size, dpi, resolution etc, to make the photo file small enough to print without causing problems? Should I try to export it to a web page to create a thumbnail image and try to re-import that?
    Any help much appreciated!
    Cheers,\Tony

    Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go Share -> Export. In the resulting window you'll get the option to resize.

  • Photo sizes for upload

    Stupid question of the day:
    If I just drag and drop photos from either iPhoto or a camera memory card directly to a page in iWeb, does iWeb 'downsize' the photo so I'm not really posting a photo a few meg. in size? Or do I have to rescale/resize to reduce the photo prior to dragging it to an iWeb page to improve page loading times?
    Thanks for explaining how this works...

  • 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.
