So.......you Mac guys, what are you using. russ I use photoshop but that aint free. there are lots of free options though. most people don't realise how useful the built in app Preview is....it can definitely take care of resizing and cropping. look under the tools menu. to crop make your selection then tools->crop. skitch is another very useful tool on the mac. now linked to evernote. good for capturing screenshots, making notes and sending on.

red750 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 PhotoScape can be downloaded free of charge, there is a Mac version. I haven't used it but I imagine it is almost identical to the Windows version which I use all the time. It has resize, rotate (for leveling photos taken on an angle), crop, and most other functions found in expensive photo editors. Some functions are simply a click of a button and the computer calculates the best result, or you have full manual control, for such things as brightness, contrast, color saturation, etc. It is very intuitive. It also has a clone tool to remove unwanted features from an image. Check out these two photos, showing removal of the white rope. EDIT: Sorry. On reading a review of the Mac version, it appears to be a cut-down version on the Windows one with many of the tools missing. As it costs nothing, you could download it and try it - it may have all you are looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalph Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 My Good Lady Wife and I use Graphic Converter on our Macs. http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/ There's a free trial available without any features crippled as in most "free trials" The only minor annoyance is a 5-10 second delay while the free version starts.The paid version is about 39 Euro whatever that converts to these days. Worth a look. GLW is NOT computer savy and she manages to do what she needs with it - mostly re-sizing. Next door neighbour is a professional IT and Mac Geek and he can get it to do almost everything except make the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Do you have a Paint program? If so, check out if it has a resize function. MS Paint does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank marriott Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Ref photo size from iPad. Is there a setting somewhere to set the size of a photo print from an iPad to an air printer? I have an air printer for an iPad which works fine for everything I want to do other then prints all photos as 6x4 inch photos. I have been unable to find a setting to adjust. (Other then pasting to a "pages" doc and then printing that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 just use the inbuilt viewer...go to tool and resize it does it by pixels ....or export the photo in iphoto and select what size you want...it is super simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
