Resize Image

I have been using a Mac for years! Years as in back to the good old days of the Apple ][+

My photo editing program of choice is Photoshop. Even when I need to do something simple like resizing photos. I have been using Photoshop for years also. Granted, I don't consider myself a wizard with it, but I can do a few things in there!

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the applications, Preview, that ships with all Macs allows you to crop and resize photos!

To crop an image, double click it. By default, Preview will open it. Click the Select Button in the tool bar. To resize a photo, you probably want it to be rectangular so ensure that the ‘Rectangular Selection' is selected (you can click and select it).

At this point, you can click and drag within the photo to see the outline of what you will be cropping and/or resizing the photo! Once you have the area cropped, you can click and drag on the corners of the area to resize the rectangle. When you are satisfied with the area, click on the Tools Menu and select Crop (ore simply press Command-K.

At this point you can either save the image, or press Command-Z to Undo the change.

If all you want to do is just resize the image to make it smaller, click on the Tools Menu and select ‘Adjust Size…' You can now specify the size you want to make the image! Make sure the Scale Proportionally is checked so that the image does not get distorted!

Resizing photos does not have to cost an arm and a leg! Use the tools you already have!
