How to resize an image in iPhoto
There are 2 option that you can resize your image in iPhoto
Option 1: A simple but effective way to resize and email a photo
Select your image and choose the Email button at the bottom right corner of the iPhoto window. This pop-up box will appear:
The one option you have is to select a file size: Small, Medium, Large and Actual Size. You don’t have the option to select a width or height, but the pop-up will display the file size for each option you select. The smaller the file size the quicker the photo will download to the recipient’s computer.
Select Compose and the Apple Mail program will open for you to write and send your message. This is the most basic option and will only be useful if you use Apple Mail.
Option 2: For more control over resizing your image in iPhoto follow these 3 steps
Step 1 – Choose your image
Select your image and choose File -> Export. A pop-up window with three tabs will appear.
Step 2 – Select a file format
On the File Export tab there are several options you can change – you want the Kind and Size options. The Kind option has five file formats to choose from. Three of these allow you to resize the image: JPEG; PNG; or TIFF. If you select JPEG (a common format to email) you also have the option to select an image quality, ranging from low to maximum, and this will affect the final file size of the image.
Step 3 – Select a size
On the Size option you can simply select Small, Medium or Large, but if you want a specific size select Custom. This is my preferred option.
If you choose Custom select a specific height or width. Click Export and save the image to a location on your computer. And that’s it!
