I also have no specific knowledge of Macs or IPhoto, but I have noticed that resizing pictures is very similar in all of the image editors I've used -- there are only about three different methods used.

First, look in the image or edit menus for resize or [/i]resample[/i] -- if it has both use the resample function. Resample recomputes each pixel to averge the values of the pixels it will replace (or spread the values over the pixels used to replace one pixel) and results in a less blotchy result.

Set the units to pixels rather than inches if the program will let you. If it won't, you'll need to do the math to correlate resolution and inches to pixels (Resolution * inches = pixels.)

If IPhoto doesn't have a function labeled resize or resample, the it probably uses a "drag resize" function. If that's the case, there should be an outline of the picture with eight squares on the edges -- click and drag any of the squares to resize the image. Use the corner squares as much as possible to keep the proportions correct.

Your Help menu is the best source of detailed information on how IPhoto resizes images.


Finally, you may be resizing the pictures properly and don't know it. Most image processers default to "fit image to window" and the image doesn't appear to change size -- the resolution changes and the files size changes, but it is still displayed full-screen so there is no visual difference after resizing.

You can resize in iphoto but it is a pain, you have to select the image using the crop tool, and then use the constrain feature and select the size you want. If you want to do this routinely to photos I'd suggest picking up another program for your resizing.
