Hi all,

I am a recent transplant from an HP laptop to a MacBook Pro.

I have tried taking pictures and importing them to iPhoto and then reducing the size to post them here. I have been unable to get them under 100kb so I used the CCF Image Optimizer to do so.

This worked fine but saved all the images as a result.jpg. I saved all my resized images into iPhoto and renamed them but cannot post different photos here.

Each photo that I post reverts to the first one since they are all originally listed as result.jpg.

Is there a way to rename them or do something else to post my other photos?

I know that iPhoto isn't the best at resizing so I may have to break down and buy a photo resizing/tweaking program.

Could any of our members advise as to how to re-save my pictures or help with what I may be doing wrong please?

Thank you for you assistance,

Vinnie

Macmercury,

Thank you very much for the link. I am reading up on the choices listed. May I ask if you have used any of them and if you would recommend a certain one?

I use Picasa by Google. Its freeware, and I like it. You can crop and straighten pictures.

EDIT: I use it on window machine, and there is a mac version.

Hi Fuzzy,

Thank you for the recommendation. I downloaded and am getting the feel for Gimp, it's another freeware that is capable of alot more than I even understand, but it seems to be working and fixed my issue.

All the best,

Vinnie

You're going through all this instead if just naming each file something different when you save it? Makes no sense.
