Title: How to downsample images to keep a photo library manageable Post by: HCK on March 18, 2017, 04:05:15 pm How to downsample images to keep a photo library manageable
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Lyn from Toronto asks about how to reduce the size of images selectively to avoid storing full-resolution photos when larger sizes are overkill. She notes, “My husband takes a ton of photographs, and coming off the camera and then downloaded into the Photos app, they are each about 4MB and take up a lot of friggin space.”</p><p> However, she doesn’t see any option to reduce resolution selectively within Photos or with other tools. She wonders, too, if there’s a way to carry out a batch operation to reduce the images’ sizes, or offload the full-resolution files outside of the Photos Library.</p><p> This is a really interesting request, and something that’s completely outside the scope of what Photos offers. While there are other photo-management tools out there like Adobe Lightroom (which also has full-featured photo-editing controls), none of them make that particularly easy, either.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3178632/photography/how-to-downsample-images-to-keep-a-photo-library-manageable.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: How to downsample images to keep a photo library manageable (http://www.macworld.com/article/3178632/photography/how-to-downsample-images-to-keep-a-photo-library-manageable.html#tk.rss_all) |
