Saving photos in smaller size

I would like to save some of my 8-10 MB photos in a smaller size for easier emailing. Is this possible?

I want to resize files for pdf slide show but retain full view, how is it done........(this is my first attempt)
I have used 40 files (average size 74kb) with background music, works perfect on DVD and when using Elements 5. BUT if emailed the music finishes before the last 3 files. Why? Can anybody tell me why and what I am doing wrong.

TS3195 I can upload photos and smaller size videos but when a video is 24 minutes long for instance, it doesn't upload at all from my iPhone to the PC. How do I upload these videos that are longer in length?

Are you using any software to import videos? Did you tried Picasa or you just open your iPhone from My Computer?

Transferring contacts and photos to smaller size iPhone

I have a 8GB 5C. My previous phone was a 32 gb 4C iPhone I would like to transfer all my contacts and some photos to the 5C phone. How can I get this done in iTunes. It seems to download all the apps first and then let me know there is no longer space on my phone.

You say you compared settings to your husband's, and that your iPhone is a day old. When you got your iPhone, was it set up as a brand new device, or might it have had some history using someone else's Apple ID? Is your Apple ID different from your husband's? I recommend keeping them different.
Anyway, if the iPhone has some history with someone else's Apple ID, and you're too far along into the process to start over by erasing the iPhone, check the Apple ID here:
Settings > iCloud (you did this already, I believe)
Settngs > iTunes & App Stores
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > Messages
Unrelated, but also check the phone number at Settings > Phone > My Number

Re-saving photos in my library as a smaller size

is there anyway to select multiple photos and re-save them as a smaller size [some of my photos are 3-6mg and i don't need them to be that high of quality.]
any thoughts/ideas?

I used automator to convert all my photos to a smaller size and then re-imported these to a new iphoto album. took some time but results in smaller photo sizes.
Only thing is that the EXIF data seems to get reset, and so the new, smaller photos all seem to be created on the day you converted them, rather than the day they were taken.

One photo's document size says 60M at the left bottom of the image I saved it, became 2.8M. Another photo's doc size 50M, I saved it , became 12M. Why?

One photo's document size says 60M at the left bottom of the image, I saved it, became 2.8M. Another photo's doc size 50M, I saved it , became 12M. Why?

You're looking at several different things.
File size is the size of the compressed image data plus file format overhead for whatever format you select.
Flat document size is the size of the document if flattened, but not compressed.
The document size in memory is how much RAM is used by the document, including all layers and other data it needs.

Can I change an Extra Large photo book to a smaller size once done?

Can I change an Extra Large photo book to a smaller size once done?

Sure - butyour text boxes may need work since being a different size may affect the view - to change duplicate the book just in case (select it and press command - D) and then go to themes and select the same theme in teh new size - closly verify the modified book and preview it -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

Photo Page picture sizes

Is there a way to control the sizes of pictures displayed when one clicks on individual thumbnails in photo pages in iWeb. They display at 600 pixel size along the longer side. If one then drags and drops them onto the desktop and subsequently opens the resulting file in Photoshop the downloaded picture is a full 800 pixels along its longer side. This is more than I prefer and makes for a long upload time for websites with hundreds of pictures. A 400 - 500 pixel size would suit me better. Is anyone aware of some method to change this default picture size? Maybe some plist hack?
PowerBook 15" 1,67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for your reply. By dragging and dropping I was referring to the end viewers of the website being able to drag the pictures to their desktops in a fairly high resolution. Sorry for not being clear about this. The thing is I don't want the end viewers to be able to have images of more than approx. 400-500 pixels. All my images start off in Aperture and wind up in iWeb via the Aperture2iLife software from lightboxsoftware.com. To simplify the workflow I'm trying to keep other apps out of the loop, hence no iPhoto.
I think my solution may have to be to Publish to a folder from within iWeb, find the appropriate images in their folders and batch run them through an Action in Photoshop to resize them to a smaller size before uploading the website. The downside of this of course is the added step in the workflow including another application in the loop but I guess the upside is I can use the opportunity to stick a watermarking routine in the batched Action.

Exporting - photo dimensions different sizes

I am new to Lightroom. When I export a group of photos some are around 3000x4000 and others are around 6000x8000.
These larger sizes will not upload to my Picasa Web Albums.
Why are they different sizes? Some are only taken on my iphone and are the larger size and others are on my SLR and are the small size.
Thanks

If you want to resize exported images you have to select any file format other than <Original> in the Import Dialog / File Setting / Image Format.
For web-use you would select JPG. Color space for web use is sRGB.
Selecting another format than <Original> will activate the <Image Sizing> and <Output Sharpening> sections of the Export Dialog.
Select a size appropriate for the Picasa Album and select a Quality Setting - between 70 and 80 should be fine; and select output sharpening for screen.
For sizes you can specify from several parameters. I find it most convenient to select 'Long Edge' or "Short Edge", specify the amount of pixels, and let the other edge fall according to the ratio of the image edges.

Saving photos in compressed files

My DLSR camera creates photos with file sizes in the 4.0 to 9.0 MB range. At these sizes, even a single photo is sometimes too large to send via email. Now I am trying to post some of them on a website, and they are too large to be included on a website. Is there a way I can save these photos in a format that takes less computer space, so I can post them on a website?

to e-mail select a smaller size when you e-mail
for web sites select the photo(s) and export using the size options - upload the exported photos

Resizing photos to file size.

Hi all, I'm trying to resize a pic to 10 k file size for use as an online avatar. Ideally I'd like to keep it around 100 by 135 pixels. In Windows this is very easy but in the amazingly overhyped and under-featured iphoto it appears to be well nigh impossible. Any ideas on how to do this for someone who desperately wants to stay in osx but increasingly finds App apps unfathomably obtuse? Thanks for your time.

Yep, been there done that but no joy. There's no mention of re-sizing a photo by file size in the help file and no ability to do so in Export. And to tell the truth, having to export to re-size is really clunky not to mention, somewhat erratic. I managed to get the file down to 8 kb by reducing it to 45 x 45 pixels but that's too small. My next size was around 105 x 140 and came in at 20 kb. I attempted to reduce the file size by reducing the photo size in stages down to 60 x 80 but the file size would increase rather than decrease. Any useful input?

Aperture Photo JPEG Export Size

I have a question regarding the file sizes of photos exported from Aperture. When exported the photos seem to be almost double the file size of the original photo imported to aperture and the size shown in Aperture. For example, I have a photo that is 2736x3648 sized at 3.51MB in Aperture. I export with JPEG set to original size, JPEG quality is set to 12. The resulting file size exported is 7.1MB. The resolution of the exported photo is also 2736x3648 so I don't think it's a DPI issue. I've done some experimentation with the JPEG quality and the results are still strange. 10 gives me a 2.2MB file, 11 gives me a 2.6MB file and 12 as mentioned previously is 7.1MB. Seems like a huge jump so I suspect I'm missing something. The other sizes being smaller than the original also seems strange.
I've looked at the exported photos at 10,11&12 and can clearly see the detail lost. The darker parts get darker and drop the detail in the photo. I'm very reluctant to lose quality so ideally would go with 12.
I know there are a few questions like this on here already but none of them seem to have a good answer. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out?
Thanks in advance.

Terence, you've helped me on a lot of things, so I guess I am going to further ask for clarification....
I have recently been trying to use Aperture solely (and pretty much abandon iPhoto.). But, when I say export a file to jpeg (whether it is currently a RAW or JPEG file, I am concerned about my settings-- by default, the setting "export jpeg in original size" has settings as 72 dpi. I have changed that to 300dpi. Is this why I have 15-20MB files? Is this the correct setting? I don't want any printer to have a false representation of how much data is there. Nor do I want to lose any data either.
I could theoretically take any photo and probably even say 4500dpi, and the file would be exaggerated that much more. I go to print, and the print center sees there is plenty of resolution there, but in reality, there is no more data there than the extent to which the file provided. You can't create resolution that is going to improve on what your camera or the minor adjustments you do to it to improve it. I say export it at whatever maximum dpi it has or multiply that dpi by 100, and no matter what, the image is going to print the same no matter how much data (or how large the box is).
Also, if I open my library in iPhoto and tell it to export the photo at original size, the file is smaller than the file exported via Aperture (thus my concern I am providing more detail than what is really there) and providing an exagerrated resolution. Your help is greatly appreciated. I am providing a disk to someone, and this is affecting whether I give them one or two disks due to the file sizes. (And, of course, as is, the file sizes are harder to work with if you want to email. So, if they don't have an email program that auto-condenses, they may be frustrated not having smaller files if they choose to email any.)
Thanks in advance!

Sorting photos according to size.

Is there a program that sorts photos by size? I have thousands of photos that were duplicated at a smaller size due to many years of adding to different programs ect.
Thanks

Like this:
But this is not possible for photos already imported into iPhoto. In iPhoto photos can't be sorted by size. You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Iphoto import imported my photos in different sizes

I have transferred my iPhoto library from my old MacBokPro to my new one.
Initially I used Migration Assistant which took 2 days but eventually worked.
The problem is that when I click on a photo in the new library the photo is a very small version of the same photo from the old library?
Not all of the photos are small so for example there could be 20 photos taken on the one day but 7 are much much smaller in the library on the new MBP
They are both running iPhoto 9.5.1 and when I compare the info of the new photo on the new MBP to the old MBP the information is the same it's only the size of the photo in the library that is different.
I'm concerned that the quality will be affected should I need to print down the track.
I have spent days( not an exaggeration!! ) with Apple who have given me many different "remedies" none which have changed the size of the photos.
The latest "remedy" was Airdropping the folder over again which re imported the photos exactly the same way as they did initially on Migration Assistant.
Should I just stop wasting more phone time with support and just book a Genius appointment that way I can take both computers in and get it sorted out?

which re imported the photos exactly the same way as they did initially on Migration Assistant.
And therein lies the problem. You've imported one iPhoto Library into another. When you do that every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo - hence the different sizes - you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
I cannot stress enough: there is no importing involved. So, no drag and drop to the iPhoto icon, no drag and drop to the iPhoto window, no File -> Import
Just: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
