I got a macbook pro not that long ago and I'm stumped as to how to minimize the size of pics so I can post them on ODO! I've done some searching but just can't figure it out.

On my PC I used to resize w/ paint . . . I'm sure there is a really easy way to resize photos on the mac since it's supposed to be easier to use, but I can't figure it out.

Any mac users help me out?

i have a macbook and haven't figured this out yet.

i resize my pictures on photobucket after i upload them.

sorry i'm not any help.

I usually upload an original size pic to flickr and it gives you size options with which to post it on other places on the internets. And if you get a greasemonkey script for firefox it puts it into UBB code conveniently.

I also have some photo editing software that can do the trick but usually i don't bother making the images actually small.

But there are free photo editing programs that you can download, and just resizing things. I don't remember any offhand but they're around.

You can open iPhoto, drag whatever pictures you want to the desktop and then edit then in any photo editing software you like: Photoshop or whatever.

Photoshop has a wonderful Save For Web choice for instantly making small pics for the web and email.

You can email them right of iPhoto super easy: just choose the photo and click on the email button, and choose SMALL, and it makes it small for you and puts it in an email.

I found this - http://www.resizeyourimage.com/
Didn't try it, but looks alright.

Thanks for the info guys! Tatyana I'll have to take a look at that website - looks promising. Jeano, I think I accomplished it using your drag to desktop method. Why didn't I think of that??

You didn't think of it because it's too easy!

I had to look it up, I didn't think of it, either!

I size my pics for posting on my Mac by attaching them to an e-mail that I then save; the e-mail program (I'm using Mail) allows me to choose the size of the pic. Once I've made it the size I want, I save it again as that size, and delete the unsent e-mail.

I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but this does work.

?? iPhoto lets you do pretty much anything a light version of PS would do--there's crop, and adjustments, and also export for various sizes. You don't need to do any workaround steps involving email.

Look what I found! This is from one of my moosedog friends! This is perfect, just what we need:
