How to resize a batch of
images for your website in iPhoto:
To resize a group of photos within iPhoto, select the photos and then under
File, go to the Export tab, where the Export
Photo's window will appear. Underneath the File Export tab,
select the Scale images no larger than option and then input
the new dimensions of the photos. Once you've checked your work, hit Export
and select the destination folder on your hard drive where you want the new
photos to be saved.
