[LM_NET] Hit : iPhoto compressing a photo

[Barbara Fritz <fritzlibrary@YAHOO.COM>]

Original post 

I am working on my website using Safari on an eMac. Is
there a way to compress photos in iPhoto so they will
load more quickly? I know there are two programs for
Windows that can do this, but what about in a mac
environment?

Thanks so much to all who sent ideas!

One work around on this is to send the photo email. It
is compressed then.

When you are in the "organization" mode of iPhoto,
select a photo by highlighting it and then go to File
and then Export.

It should bring up a window that allows you to scale
the size of the photo. I do this often when emailing
photos or loading to a website. You can also change
from original format to whatever you need. Hope this
helps. You have to play with it a bit. I export the
photo to the desktop as a jpeg.

I don't think that iPhoto will do that. You can
purchase Photoshop Elements from the Academic
Superstore for, I think, $100 or even less.  
That program gives you almost all the stuff that
Photoshop does. There's a feature on it under "Edit"
for "save to Web" - you can make the photo as small as
you like. Well worth the investment and taking a class
on it. U. of Wisconsin - Stout offers on-line classes
in this program. I took one last summer. It was worth
it just to discover that feature!

Download Graphic converter... if it's not already in
your Applications folder.

When you export the photos, you have the option to
change their size. In addition, you can make them a
good size for a web page. Does that help with what you
want?
