Reducing size of photos

Can anyone help me? I've just transferred quite a number of photos from my digital camera to the photoshop album and they're about 1.5MB each. How do i reduce the size of photos once transferred as emailing them this large seems to be a problem..??

PSA SE does not have any capability to help you - the full paid-for version can make temporary, reduced size copies for exactly this purpose.
I believe that Windows XP has such a function, but I don't have an XP machine to hand at this moment ...

  • IWeb reducing size of photos

    I'm a professional photographer and I've been using iWeb as a proof site for my customers. But lately I've noticed that iWeb is reducing the size of photos I upload. I put up some 4MB files yesterday and they were reduced to 700KB for download, even though slideshow was disabled and ORIGINAL was the download option.
    If you'd like to see the photos (pr shots for a theatre company) they are at

    Many thanks for any help anybody can offer.

    Original means the original width and height. Not the filesize.
    Or do you want to display a 4MB image just to have a look at it in the browser. I would say the image I downloaded looks fine to me.
    If you really want the original original then zip the file(s) in a archives and have these downloaded by your clients.

  • How to Reduce size of photos

    Good day,
    I have taken photos with a Pentax digital camera and each photo have at leat 1,5 MO size.
    I have Internet intermediate and I have test to send and email wiht 3 attached photos JPEG and it has take 8 Min. 15 sec..
    How can I reduce the size of the photos with Photoshop Albun Editon Decouverte 3.0?
    P.S. When I take photo with my small Intel PC pocket camera the photo JPEG with resolution 2076x1466 the size are 502 KO.

    Hi,
    Try this
    1. in Adobe PASE right click on the photo and select copy
    2. open up MS Paint, it is under accessories on your programs menu.
    3 under the file menu select new then under the edit menu select paste.
    4. depending upon the size of your photo you may have white background to the right and bottom of the photo - if so drag the outside edge of the white to the border of the photo. I do not expect you will have this with the size of photo you have got
    5. Under the file menu select save as
    6. on the dialog box give your file a different name eg. name_copy and select the save as type JPEG then click save.
    This should give you a copy which will have the same dimensions in pixels as your original but much smaller in size.
    On a test I shrank a file from 872kb to 257kb
    JPEG is a format which shrinks the storage size of a photograph by throwing away some of the data. Some programs allow you to specify how much you want to throw away (this is the quality setting on your camera). This is why your good camera gives you a much bigger file size than the cheaper one.
    MS Paint does not allow you to select the quality but just defaults to low quality which is why the file is much smaller.
    If you have a proper photo editing program you will find that this will allow you to change the size of the picture (pixel dimensions) and the file size by specifing the quality of JPEG required.
    Hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • How can I reduce size of photo but leave it in my iPhoto Library?

    I have a bunch of photos that are work related that I don't need at full resolution but don't want to delete out of my library so I can search for them by how I've tagged them.
    Is there any way to reduce the size of the original photo within iPhoto and leave it in the library?

    No. iPhoto stores the original untouched and then makes copies of them. If you want a smaller original then you have to take it out of the library, edit it to be smaller, then put it back into the library.

  • Upgrade from 4.0.3 to 5.0 or 6.0?  And how to reduce size of photo?

    I am using an old iMac installed with Mac OS 10.3.9 and iPhoto 4.0. If I want to upgrade to iPhoto 5.0 or 6.0, can i do it using the current OS? And is it free like iTunes upgrade?
    I also need to reduce the size of a pic from several hundred KBytes to 50KBytes. How can I do it? I don't have Photoshop or any similar stuff?

    iPhoto is part the "iLife" package.
    To get the current version of iPhoto requires that you update/upgrade to the iLife 06 package.
    To reduce the size of a picture, you can do this:
    In iPhoto, select the picture(s) you want to scale down (reduce file size).
    Click on the "email" button at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
    iPhoto will ask what size you want them to be (S, M, L), and them paste them into a new email document for sending.
    If you don't WANT to send an email, just save it as a Draft email, and save it for later.
    You can then drag the pictures form the email document to your desktop, or to any other folder when you want them.
    You can also save copies with the ave email attachment command in the iPhoto main menu (I believe true for most versions).
    good luck!

  • Very large file 1.6 GB..sports program for school. lots of photos, template where media spots saved and dropped photos in..trying to get it to printer swho says its too large but when reduces size loses all quality...HELP??

    Please help...large file my sons Athletic program. Had noto problem with Quality last year..this new printer said file is too large..too many layers, can I FLATTEN..He reduced size and photos look awful. It is 81 pages. Have to have complete before next friday!! Help anyone??

    At that size it sounds like you have inserted lots of photos at too large a size and resolution.
    Especially for a year book style project, first determine your image sizes and crop and fix the resolution to 300 dpi, then drag them into the publication. Pages does not use external references to files and rapidly grows to quite large size unless you trim and size your images before placement.

  • 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.

  • HT1229 How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.   Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
    Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.

  • My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them

    My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them - however my iPhone does, can I make my iPad reduce the size as well?

    Hi Frank: After you have selected the photo for the email and started to compose the email, check on the right  side of the window. There it will show the image file size, tap there and it will give you options for the photo size. Hope this helps.

  • How to reduce the size of photos

    I want to reduce the size of photos, for example 50% samller. Please give me the steps in iphoto, but outside prepairing photos for export/mails.

    If your talking about reducing the photo by percentage, from within iPhoto to leave in the Library, there is no way that I know of to do that. You must either Export or Send to Email. And even there, now way to simply select reduce by percentage. You would need to detemine the resolution in pixels of the original and reduce the pixels by half.
    I would use Graphic Converter to do that. It has a scaling feature to reduce by percentage.

  • Actual Size (Full Quality) photos being e-mailed at reduced sizes! Why?

    Yesterday I e-mailed six photos to a party in Nova Scotia. Because of the large file size of the photos--ranging from 6.7 MB to 9.2 MB--I opted to e-mail each photo individually. In iPhoto I chose the Actual Size (Full Quality) size setting for each photo.
    Imagine my surprise when I discovered that every photo was e-mailed at a reduced size. For example, the indicated attachment size for the 6.7 MB photo was only 4.6 MB, and for the 9.2 MB photo only 6.1 MB. This is the first time I have noticed photos being e-mailed at reduced sizes even when the Actual Size (Full Quality) size setting has been chosen.
    I would appreciate knowing what is going on here and what I need to do to remedy this situation.
    Bob

    Terence,
    The problem remains unresolved. I followed your recommended procedure and got the same bizarre result!
    I selected in iPhoto the same 9.2 MB photo I e-mailed to Nova Scotia yesterday, clicked on the Email icon, and selected Actual Size (Full Quality). The Mail 1 Photo window correctly showed the estimated size as 9.2 MB. I clicked on the Compose Message button which took me to the E-mail message window. I verified that the Image Size indicated at the lower right hand corner of the window was Actual Size. Interestingly enough, the Message Size indicated in the lower left hand corner of the window was 8.2 MB. Somehow my photo size was reduced 1 MB in the process of it being prepared for E-mail delivery! I then e-mailed the photo to myself. When I opened it up it showed 1 Attachment, 6.1 MB. This is the exact same result I got when I originally e-mailed this photo to Nova Scotia.
    My primary concern here is that the quality of these photos is likely being compromised by this size reduction phenomenon which I have not previously noticed. I'm wondering whether this is a problem with iPhoto '09, Version 8.1 (415) to which I just recently upgraded from iPhoto '06. For your information I have also long employed iPhoto Library Manager (Currently version 3.5.5).
    Perhaps you can try this same procedure and see if you get the same goofy result. I'll be eagerly awaiting your reply and advice on how to resolve this issue.

  • Can you send an email with multiple photos from iPhoto in reduced size?

    I want to send an email with multiple photos attached with a reduced size. How do I accomplish this?

    Hi Igmatteson,
    If you are using regular Mac Mail, and you are on Mountain Lion, this is what I can do:
    1. Go into Mail, and start a new message
    2. At the top, you will see 4 icons - the third one over brings up the Photo Browser from iPhoto
    3. Go through your pics and select the one you want and drag it onto the mail page
    4. Once you have done that, a small bar on the right-hand side will show up that will allow you to select whether you want the image size to be small, medium, or large. Once you select a size, all photos you add will be that same size.
    Hope this works for you!
    Cheers,

  • How to reduce size of pics saved in iPhoto?

    How do i reduce the size of a pic that is already saved in iphoto?

    You can't. iPhoto is specifically designed to protect your original photo. You cannot change it in any way.
    If you want a reduced size for use somewhere else - to upload to a website or similar - then you can reduce the size on Export, using the File -> Export command.
