I've been taking a lot more pics lately and have just been using the iPhoto app that comes with the MacBook. How can I save these photos in high res? Do I need a different app like a PhotoShop Elements or something? check out this shot I got at a pistol match this weekend. I'd really like to send it to my friend for him to use but he needs high res...  |

I'm not very versed in iPhoto but from what I remember there should be an export button. If what I remember is correct you can export at various sizes and file formats.

I believe They will save to iPhoto in the resolution in which you took them. Is that what you mean?

When I used to use PS Elements a long time ago, I could "save as" a photo and it would allow me to save the photo in a higher resolution. This friend is asking for a high res copy of this photo and I am stumped. I just take pics and post 'em on FB and make slide shows and stuff. I just use what I have and haven't ever needed to print something in a higher res. Make sense? m |

I don't think you can make a photo have a higher resolution that what you took it at, but I could be completely wrong. I know you have the option to save at a high resolution in PSE, but that is just the best version of the photo you can get - it's not increasing the pixels or image size, just preserving the best version of it.
Are you using iPhotos or the Photo app (came out recently to replace the original photo program)? Your photos are imported at the resolution you took them at; they size is not altered by the program unless you edit it to do that. They each have an export option for photos - you can export them to your desktop and send it. Or you can download the original image (if you still have it on the SD card) and email it from the download file instead of importing it into the Photos app.
That is a great photo!

They won't look as good as the original when printed. All you need to do is email the image you have on your computer to your friend. If you're using the Photos app, find your image and then click on "File" and then select "Export". It will give you some photo details - click on "Export". This will bring you to the screen where you can just save it to your desktop so you can attach it easily to an email. HTH. |

Unless you are resizing them after editing, they should remain slighly smaller than the original (allowing for cropping etc.). Don't allow your email program to resize for email. |
