Mercedes Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi, I have a new Mac and am trying to post some pictures to the forum but the pictures are too big. Can anyone tell me how to size them down using iphoto or some other Mac program that normally comes with a MacPro. I've tried everything and just can't see to figure it out. Thanks....Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meg_marsh Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi Kay, I use IPhoto - do a "export" and you can select the size and format you want. I generally use medium size and it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 HI Meg, Where do I find the "export" option, it doesn't seem to be under edit or one of the other options? Thanks Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Sparrow Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 when you view any image on your Mac using Preview, goto 'Tools' in the top menu bar and select 'adjust size'. Make sure you save it after you adjust the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neher-in-law5 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I, too, use Mac Pro. I use export under file. My choice is to export to my desktop using JPEG, Medium, and Medium and keep the file name (unless you want to really name it). Then it is easy to find to post and after I'm done posting it, I drag it to the trash but I still have my original in the iphoto file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
