Is it possible to change the resolution in pixels of a photo using iPhoto?
And if so, how?
TIA

I swear I've answered this one before ...

But seriously, please use the search function next time. This has been asked and answered several times over.

iPhoto does not do any actual resizing of photos within itself. You have some limited ability to resize pictures when you try to email them or export them, but that's it.

Sorry. I can never get the search function to work when I'm on m- f on the iPhone. Thanks for the answer. Any free program you can recommend for resizing?

You can resize photos with Preview, which is of course "free".

Save the photo to your desktop or other folder, open it in Preview and from there it is pretty straight forward. (I would give detailed steps but I am at work and do not have a Mac available.)

Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.

And there you have it ... Im amazed at the way people dont know what GREAT FREE Apps the Mac OS has in it. We have some of the best Apps


Dont forget to use the Reputation System if someone has helped you out !!!
“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe

ReSize Me is, for the purposes mentioned here, way better than Preview -- and just as free.
