Well you are well on your way to advanced publishing. Understanding that re-sizing a photo has two caveats: 1) You can re-size a photo without changing the resolution; this is done to make prints of the size intended. 2) You can re-size a photo to reduce its "digital size" (reduce resolution) and make it more suitable for posting on the internet...it's all about managing resources AKA...Storage and/or Bandwidth, that is, the pipeline used to store and post said image. 

High resolution photos are necessary for making good quality prints, however, digitally displayed photos require much less resolution and therefore, is a waste of resources to Email, or Post, or Store GIGANTIC files when using digital forms. 

You are on the way to mastering the tools of your particular form.

Your on the right track...Thumbs Up

My saga continues. I downloaded the app referred to in the article and it works.... mostly.   It compresses the file size, but just not quite enough to upload. I emailed the developer and their suggestion was to reduce the amount of pixels first and then run the app. Geez. Now to go and figure out how to do that ...]]> Sat, 22 Nov 2014 08:37:35 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5577&PID=54387#54387 Resizing Photos - iPhone app? : Originally posted by PodsterThanks... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5577&PID=54380#54380 Author: Luv2Q

Hmm, this thread got me to wondering if an Android resizer might be available. So I'm testing! Don't mean to waste your time. This one is called Photo Resizer, on Play Store.

Edit: This post submitted from my HTC (Android) phone.  I normally use my iPad for text posts, but it stinks for uploading photos.

Sometimes I will add photos to Email and let the editor prep and compress them for sending. After it loads the photos to be sent I just pull them off and put them into a folder on my desktop and then delete the Email that was never intended to go anywhere. Yes, clearly use and abuse of the Email editor! But it works! Smile]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2014 18:28:37 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5577&PID=54364#54364 Resizing Photos - iPhone app? : Originally posted by PodsterI... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5577&PID=54362#54362 Author: MissyBuck

I have emailed my photos to myself and edited them on the iMac. I like to post while we are traveling as well. (The iMac doesn't travel well) And sometimes I just want to be lazy if it's just a photo for record (not a landscape, etc).

I will take another look at Picasa. Maybe I can do it thru the website instead of the app.


I do know how to edit photos to upload and email easily :) ...

Thanks - the email app is apparently not available for iPhone - bummer. And the picasa app has terrible reviews (the iPhone version). I'm sure I could figure it out on my iMac. I was just hoping there WAS an iPhone app for this.

Missy,

If your photos are in iPhoto it is simply a matter of: File:Export

The options are pretty self explanatory.

If you are using Photoshop:

1) Top Menu:Image Size   Change width to 800 pixels. Height will automagically be calculated

2) File Menu:Save for Web and Devices. Use preset "Jpeg High" and save.

That's all you should have to do. If you need some screen grabs for me to explain a bit better, let me know. Been doing this for a loooong time. Digital Darkroom was the first image editing software on a Mac...a year or two before anyone heard of Adobe.

I can do a search in the apps store for apps for resizing photos, I just have not had success using any that I have tried. To make the image a small enough file size to upload, the image is so tiny you can't see it. I can post links to a Flickr album, but that, in my opinion is not ideal for every situation.

I do use an iMac, but I know nothing about iPhoto, as my preferred editing software is Photoshop. ]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2014 16:45:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5577&PID=54345#54345 Resizing Photos - iPhone app? : MissyBuck, there are a number... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5577&PID=54343#54343 Author: fwunder

I want to post photos from my phone to the forum. Any advice on an app that will resize the photos correctly? I was having a difficult time doing this from my computer also. I know a little about photo editing with PSE12 and can resize photos to post on the web for websites like Flickr so the photos don't take so long to load, but maintain their integrity. But getting them "small" enough Kb-wise for this forum is a challenge!

Any tips for the iPhone or for the computer would be appreciated.

Danke! ]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:22:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5577&PID=54339#54339
