You can definitely resize a photo using the Mac’s Photos app. It’s a simple and straightforward process that allows you to adjust the dimensions of your image according to your needs. Let me guide you through the steps to resize a photo in Mac Photos.
1. First, open the Photos app on your Mac. You can find it in your Applications folder or by searching for it using Spotlight.
2. Once you have the app open, locate the photo you want to resize. You can navigate through your photo library using the sidebar on the left or by using the search bar at the top right corner.
3. Select the photo you want to resize by clicking on it. You should see the photo displayed in the main window.
4. Now, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and click on “File.” A dropdown menu will appear.
5. From the dropdown menu, click on “Export” followed by “Export [1] Photo” (or choose the number of photos you want to export if you have multiple selected).
6. A new dialog box will appear, giving you options for exporting your photo(s). In this dialog box, you can choose the file name, location, and most importantly, the size of the exported photo(s).
7. Under the “Size” section, you’ll find several options for resizing your photo(s). You can choose from preset sizes such as “Full Size,” “Large,” “Medium,” or “Small.” These presets are based on common dimensions suitable for various purposes.
8. If none of the preset sizes meet your requirements, you can select “Custom” instead. This will allow you to enter a maximum width or height for your photo(s). Simply input the desired dimensions, and the Photos app will automatically resize the image(s) accordingly.
9. Once you have selected the desired size or entered custom dimensions, you can proceed with the export by clicking on the “Export” button at the bottom right corner of the dialog box.
10. Choose the destination folder where you want to save the resized photo(s) and click “Export” again. The Photos app will then resize and export the photo(s) to the specified location.
