:blowup::blowup: Hey ppl can someone please help me figure out if I am able to resize my photo's to suit the forum using iphoto on a mac before I throw the thing in the bin. I had only just started to figure out my old computer and the misses went and upgraded to a mac and now it is all different I cant even figure out how to write a damb letter on the thing, and I am not tooo computer illiterate.

Are you sure you are using the right program, I just downloaded a program called Iphoto ( windows ver ) and looks to me 2 be a program for downloading pics off the internet and nothing else

If you select "HELP" then "Homepage" in Iphoto

What is the web addy that opens up in your browser???

Sorry mate, I know zip about MAC's. Throw it in the bin and get a PC...lol...If you don't get any answers here then try Google. If you get no joy from there then let us know mate as I know someone who uses Mac's and would most likely know this question.

Look for something like a resize button....Resizing a photo to 50%, etc should reduce the size of the file too.

I think The Flying Badger uses Macs, he doesn't come on here too often though, so i'll drop him a line and ask.

Really easy mate.

I store all my photos on iPhotos and LOVE MY MAC.

To be honest i upload to photobucket and use that to host my pics then they can be embedded on this forum with a single press of a button. Big fan of photobucket! Its free and you can resize and blank out your rego etc with ease before hosting them here.

Macs ROCK!

The number 1 thing to remember now you are on a Mac is "It just aint that hard any more ;) "

Know nothing about Macs but I would have thought the same, Photobucket - copy - paste, just go to the Testing section here http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?83-Testing-area and have a play mate

Funny you should mention Photobucket MR..... Badger said he just uploads direct to there.

So does that mean Macs are useless because of no photo managing / editing software !!!!???? Lol

Nah not at all, i think they showed the world how easy it is at the desktop to do complex photo editing didn't they?

Nah i am just an Idiot ;)

i have been using Photobucket for years on another forum before here and it is Simple. Why re-invent the wheel?

Darren is delirious from a long trip away, what he meant 2 say was throw a rock at your Mac
The number 1 thing to remember now you are on a Mac is "Don't ever buy one again"

Yeah best thing about ibm compatible pc's is the software availability they put mac to shame.
Just that they are unheard of to most people like the tablet pc = i pad lol
I remember the creative nomad jukebox mp3 player years before the ipod.
and any number of smartphones or similar that run windows ce have been around forever.
