computer help please--need to downsize photos on a MAC

hi all, a little help would be greatly appreciated. i've recently saved a bunch of pics to my mac from my sony digital camera, most pics are about 2.4 mb....i need to figure out how to get the size to 1 mb so i can post them online. i don't have any fancy programs, just the stuff that came on the comp... thanks so much!

Download Photoline... http://www.pl32.com/

Freeware... It says "shareware," but it'll work well after the trial is up... I'm on like day 600/30...

Get Photoline... Problem solved.

iPhoto doesn't really work that way. At least not easily.

1. Open the image

2. Go to "Document" in the top menu bar. Click it so you get the drop down menu.

3. Click "Scale Document" from the drop down menu.

4. Resize as you like.

its easy

1. select the photo you want to resize
2. Share menu > Export
3. select the size you want and save.

its that simple

BTW, learn how to be more self-sufficent. You could have learned how to do this by searching for 'resize' in iPhoto help.
