Thread: Posting photos on NZHS

I get the photo onto the mac and the default program you look at photos with is called preview.
There a button for file>duplicate so I do that and the new file is called "...copy.jpg " then I can keep the original.
Then there is a Tools>adjust size button.
First, do any cropping you want to by selecting the part of interest and a crop option will appear on a menu.
I adjust the width to 1200 pixels or 800 px if its an upright (portrait) one.
Save as jpeg file type in "best" quality and the pic that came off your phone at 2MB will be about 400kb.

Your much better to do the resize by % (ie 25%) then there is never any distortion with photo - it keeps its original 100% but down in original size

Yep we are on that too and only go over when the kids come to stay. I fixed that now by setting a daily limit for their devices.
