Resizing photos in iPhoto 6

Hello,
I've been doing this in Photoshop for a long while now, but am curious as to how to resize photos using iPhoto 6. I don't seen an obvious way to do this, but I'm probably just missing it. What I want to do is take an image at 2816x2112 and resize it to 800x600, without cropping. How do you do this in iPhoto 6?

found the answer by doing a little more searching in the forums!

Resizing Photos in iPhoto '08?

Hello,
I'm new to the iLife suite and cannot figure out how to resize a photo in iPhoto '08. It's not in the editing tools, nor in the pulldown menus. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
-Kate

Hi
As I was new on the mac i had the same difficulties. Especially iPhoto made me mad.
Its part of ILife and its still advertised as "Make more out of your photos" (maybe translation is wrong). For ME that slogan meant, you have at least standard editing capabilities. But ... you have not.
iLife as a package is worth the price, but realize that iPhoto is very limited. And look at the other messages around here ... Its often kinda problematic. Backup your photos

can you explain this more fully? since iPhoto does NOT have any capability to edit photo sizes your comment is very confusing - you can export photos in a different size but that only changes them outside of iPhoto - there is no capability of editing sizes within iPhoto

How do I resize photos in iPhoto using automator, I haven't been able to do

Hi all, was in Sydney and took over 200 pics there 8.0 megapixels each. it takes forever to send them via ichat and would like to downsize them to 5.1 or 5.0. how do i go about getting them all downsized?
Thanks all

I'm guessing you don't intend to suddenly drop over 200 photos into an iChat session.
I think you might as well scale them down instead of re-compress them. Just decide how you want to use them. For example, if they will be used for your desktop background, then scale them down to the screen resolution. You can find those numbers in System Preferences in Displays. Actually, that's probably a good size overall. Though, keep in mind your screen size is probably widescreen, so you'll want to try it out with an image to decide whether to go with the height or width while keeping the proportion constant.
As for using iPhoto, if you have .Mac then you can share them pretty easily by photocasting them. You wouldn't really have to worry about scaling them down, however, it does offer you option to reduce the size when they are photocasted. I believe this keeps them the same size on your computer, but uploads them at the reduced size, so it'll be quicker to upload them and download by others while you keep the same quality on your computer. Just create an album and put a few photos in there that you want to share. Or select some photos and drag and drop them into the left side of albums until you see an outline around the whole left side, then a new album will be created when you drop them.
I suppose you could share all 200 or so photos, but since you mentioned iChat it sounds like you just want to share one or two at a time and say "Hey, look at this one!". Instead, you can say "Hey, have you seen my Sydney photocast lately? Did you see the last couple of pictures I added?". You can change the photos in the album or just keep adding more and it'll appear to automatically update on everybody else's computers, too. Though, I think it's nicer when they have iPhoto to subscribe to the photocast instead of using an RSS viewer, since they can do anything they want with the photo when they have it in iPhoto, such as making it their desktop background, emailing it, have it as part of a slideshow, send an iCard (with .Mac), order prints or a photo book, etc.
Of course, you could also send some of them to iWeb (which will offer to downsize them for you, about 800x600 for the largest I think), send them to Mail to email (which offers to three different size/quality levels while telling the total MB), and so forth all from iPhoto. In fact, if you actually dropped the pics into a new email message, Mail will have an option at the bottom of the message window to resize them in the same way before sending them.
When you send some photos to iWeb, you can choose to have a single page of photos or to have them added to a blog. You might do the latter with a few of the photos if you'd like to add a special description, since each photo will be given it's own page in the blog.
As Mike said, you can also simply have them scaled down by exporting them from iPhoto, available in the File menu once you've selected the photos. Though, you'd probably interact with them with the Finder at that point, such as drag and drop into a video chat in iChat or adding them to emails. You could re-import them to iPhoto and then decide whether to keep both copies, the higher quality originals or the scaled down versions. I believe iPhoto won't make you decide, so you'll have both in different rolls and can keep them separate or delete one set or the other.

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.

Resizing photos in iPhoto

I am trying to upload/transfer pictures from iPhoto onto our company website (not using iWeb). THe pics are too big and I need to get them down to about half the size. Any ideas? THanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Select the pic(s) in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue you have many options - including changing the compression (and hence the filesize) and the dimensions (the length by breadth.) Complete the export to the desktop (where iPhoto will export a copy, incorporating your changes) and upload them from there.

How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
Appreciate the help and suggestions.

dan28088,
Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.

How can I resize a photo in iPhoto without cropping it?

I am taking pictures on my iphone 4s and using iphoto to edit them on macbook pro. I need to upload these photos at a size much smaller than what i am able to take with my phone. The only way I see to adjust the size of a photo in iphoto is to crop it. How can I resize without cropping?
Thank you

It's an option in the Export menu.
File -> Export and under the Size option you can choose the maximum you prefer. Export that and upload from the desktop.

Is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?

is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?

The dpi depends on the print size you'll be making. This explains it in detail: The Myth of DPI.
A 300 dpi image for a 4x6 print will have fewer pixels in it than a 300 dpi image for an 8. 10 print.
You can set the pixel dimension of a photo by exporting it via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and use the Custom size setting. However, you should crop the photo to the size ratio you want before exporting, i.e 4 x 6, 5 x 7, etc. Then set the maximum pixel size you want for the image:

How do I resize a photo in iPhoto to downsize it

If I can downsize the photos in iPhoto, then I can save a batch of them on the FlashDrive. I don't see a method for downsizing or resizing them.

I am used to using Photoshop to reduce the pixels and image size. Does Iphoto have this option or just large, small etc. If the latter does anybody know what the image size is for small? I need to reduce a series of photos to 120x100 to fit into a website.

Resizing a photo in iPhoto'08 (i.e. ver 7.x.x)

Hi there,
I've a simple question (I hope so):
Since the mothership itself recommend resizing photos to 768x576 (for PAL) before building a slideshow in iDVD'08, is there a possibility to do this in iPhoto while exporting the photo(s)?
I know there are pre-sets for resizing during export: small: 320x240, medium: 640x480, big: 1280x960 and original, of course.
Can anyone tell me where I can change these settings to achive the mentioned settings for iDVD (PAL)? Maybe in the .plist file or so??

Oooops...
sorry, sometimes I seem to be blind, arrrg!
Thank you very much Terence.

How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09?

How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09? I can zoom in or out, but I can't figure out how to make a photo smaller. Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout? I'd like to work with maximum flexibility, like starting from the blank template in iWeb, where I can add any number of photos, text, and change all the sizes. Is this possible? Thanks.

You resize the photo by clicking on it and zooming
You can not resize the photo frame
Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout?
No they all work the same - see Liz Castro's page - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/ - for a detailed description of iPhoto '08 layouts - all of those carry forward to iPhoto '09 plus there are new ones that she has not documented yet

Not in iWeb but you can do pages in any page layout program (word, pagemaker, pages, etc) and print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to create a totally custom page - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/No._19.html - for directions

Iphoto 08 Exporting does not appear to Resize photos

Trying to export photos and fit them on a disk for a digital photo frame. Even though I selected the smallest file and lowest quality, I received the message that they were too large for the disk. It was a 512 mb disk and according to file info when I exported them to another location, the actual file size was only 48 mb. I found that I could export the same number of full size files to the disk as I could the lower resolution/smaller size. Is there something I else I should be doing?
Thanks

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
None of my cameras has a GPS function so I never see that data in the info of a photo in iPhoto for iOS. But I do see the map choice to set a location for the photo. Perhaps a reboot will fix this for you.

Uploading photos from iphoto to email?

How do I atttach a photo from iPhoto to an email?? I seem to be having a hard time finding my files. Thanks tons.

What ISP(Internet Service Provider) are you using for e-mail?On my AOL e-mail window,there's a small camera icon in the middle bar,if I click on that it has a drop down about insert picture,insert background picture,insert hyperlink,and whatever else.Look for that.If you have something similar,try it.I would suggest doing it without any message first to see what shows up.Delete any attempts you don't care for.I found out if I clicked on the Background one,you couldn't read the message.Mine then shows a mini version of Finder window,navigate to the location of the photo you want.The suggestion of dragging photos to desktop first from open iPhoto window is excellent,the picture icons in my finder are far too small to see.The e-mail Application you use should also give you the option to resize for e-mail.Sends faster.

How do i resize photo attachment in icloud mail

How do I resize photo attachment in icloud mail. The resize button does not appear as it did before.

Using iCloud mail online via a browser does not offer the option to resize the photo. It's only available when emailing from iPhoto so iPhoto can do the resizing as it adds the image to the email. Safari or whatever browser you're using doesn't have that capability.
