Resizing images
in [Mac Systems]

From: JF Mezei on 18 Apr 2010 01:32 pardon me for asking a Mac related question... A cousin has a vanilla Mac. She has photos in Iphoto. Those images are too big to be emailed. On a vanilla Mac, is there a way to downscale an image to a smaller size and save it on disk so that a browser can then upload the smaller file ? I know that when using MAIL.app, one can have MAIL automatically downscale images to "small" "medium" or "large" (original size). But if one is using web based email such as gmail, is there a way to do this ? (Failing this, I might just get her to connect to my server via AFP, move her original images to a directory on my server and I can then run a photoshop script to downscale all her images).

By "vanilla Mac" what do you mean? Something really old like a PowerMac 7100/66, or even a Mac +? I use GraphicConverter (and there are several generations of that program around for various older Macs if we are talking about something ancient) for resizing images. That might be convenient as it allows for batch resizing of images. -- Please note this e-mail address is a pit of spam due to e-mail address harvesters on Usenet.

Or, less likely, one with the draw multi platform program Vanilla.app -- dorayme

For JPEG images I use the Independent JPEG Group's free software: http://www.ijg.org/ I installed it using MacPorts (port install jpeg), and then to scale a JPEG down by a factor of two you can just do: djpeg -scale 1/2 < INPUT.jpeg | cjpeg > OUTPUT.jpeg That is what I do when I want to put any of my photos on the web.

You can use the "Email" button in iPhoto to resize the images and insert them into a new message. Use the iPhoto->Preferences->General to specify the email client. Barring that, you can use the iPhoto->File->Export function to produce resized copies in whatever folder you choose for later attaching to email or whatever. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF
