Problem:
I have a few photo (taken by my digital camera) and want to upload them to Picasa. But the images are too large (in both geometry size and file size). I want to scale them down before uploading.
Solution:
1. Select all files in a Finder window (Command-click or Shift-click for multiple files).
2. Right click on one of the selected file and select "Open With" -> "Preview".
3. In the Preview window, multiple files are shown as multiple pages on the side bar on the left.
4. Select all opened files by "Command-A" on the side bar.
5. Select from the menu bar: "Tools" -> "Adjust Size ...".
6. There you can change size. I selected the "Fit into: 1280x1024 pixels". Yours may be different.
7. Click "OK" to close the Adjust Size window.
8. Finally, "Save" the files and quit Preview.
Result:
The files are changed from 5MB to 256KB in file size while displayed perfectly in the web browser.
