iPhoto resizing??

Still loving this mac!!

I have questions that come up from time to time.

The latest, I did a search on resizing photos I could not find any answers.

Windows has a "Photo Resize" power pack. It was a left click function that would make a full size picture small enough to email or post with a click of a button. This is very helpful when posting photos in forums that always have an image size limit.

I have not been able to figure this one out and any help would b great!!! Thanks!

In iPhoto, select the picture you want, then click on "Email" (bottom toolbar).
You will be prompted to pick a size, and it will display the photo size in kb's.
Easy enough?

jbarley, thanks for the reply and that seems to work perfect with emails. But is there a way to make them smaller for posting on forums? Or making a copy of the picture... just smaller.

Natobasso, showed them talking about resizing but I did not notice how to.

Thanks!!

Select the pic and use "Export", it will give you the option to resize.
Not the deftest control of resize but will generally do the job.

I have also been known to use the email option, then drag the resized image off the email and place it where I want. Seems like a hassle but it is suprisingly quick.
