newgabe Carpal \'Tunnel Registered: 03/03/05 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	OK simple question for you good geeks... I have a .jpeg that is 3Mb. How do I reduce it to something more manageable for inserting in docs or emails? What application to I use? iPhoto? something else? I thought I was clever a few weeks ago for realising I could crop photos in Preview... that's how little I know about it, blush. I don't particularly love iPhoto.. is there another photo handling program that is good? _________________________ .....Can't juggle balls but I sure as hell can juggle details....

Ry Carpal \'Tunnel Registered: 02/02/05 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	iPhoto would work, so would Photoshop, Aperture, Lightroom, Elements.. I thought you could do it in Preview though? "Save As"? Else XnView : http://perso.orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/endownloadmacosx.html I'm a bit worried personally at there not being an ACDSee Pro for osx.. my workflow's going to have to change a bit

BansheeCat old hand Registered: 29/07/05 Loc: lost	Polarity, control ad then " click" do you mean tap? There is nothing to click? Sorry, I really am a luddite, yeesh. I shall also experiment a bit and see what happens... I am also trying to figure out the reducing photo thing. I have preview and Iphoto to work with. I cant see a function in either of them that indicates how to reduce something to a particular DPI. I am told I need the photos to be 300dpi, tiff files. I can figure the save as to get them from jpeg to tiff, but how do I know the dpi and change that? Help file on the computer is useless on this subject, alas. much love, thanks for your help ps am getting adobe photoshop installed soon, but need to do this tonight with what I have available! xoxo a _________________________ "God was my co-pilot, but then we crashed, and I had to eat him..."

newgabe Carpal \'Tunnel Registered: 03/03/05 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	Written by: BansheeCat Polarity, control ad then " click" do you mean tap? There is nothing to click? There is something to click... it is below what you are calling the 'traceboard', where you run your fingers to move the mouse... a rectangular panel that makes a little noise if you press it. THose two items together do the functions of a mouse. As Polarity said, hold down the button ctrl (bottom left, next to option) and click, or press. I also can't find a way to reduce dpi in either preview or iPhoto. (Crop or resize, yes but that's different) Thanks Polarity, I downloaded a free demo version of GraphicConverter, I just haven't had time to figure out how to use it! One thing they don't give you with the freebie is a tutorial... Cheers G _________________________ .....Can't juggle balls but I sure as hell can juggle details....

polarity Drunken Poi Master Registered: 16/05/05 Loc: on the wrong planet	You can get some software to make it work better. I'm using a Logitech MX-1000 (with 10 buttons), and a piece of software called USB Overdrive to program all the buttons. _________________________ You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

polarity Drunken Poi Master Registered: 16/05/05 Loc: on the wrong planet	Ooops, wrong way round but I'm pretty sure someone's done the same to use Mac hardware on PCs, maybe as part of the Bootcamp drivers. The one button track pad can emulate a double click in windows by holding down the right apple key and clicking the track pad. _________________________ You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.
