Great advice, you really should toss the mac so you can enjoy a vista bloated virus loving pc! ; )

Actually, its real easy. Open your image in preview.
Go to the tool menu
select adjust size
change inches to points
change your greatest dimension to 800
change resolution to 72
make sure scale proportionaly and resize are selected
click ok
go to file menu and select save as
rename your image and take note of where you save it to.
I add a suffix of lr for low res to all resized images for posting.
Take some time to develop a good naming convention. This will pay dividends in the future.
If you ever have questions on how to do something, use help. It works in any application and its how I got your answer.

You can accomplish a resize in iPhoto but you don't have as much control.

best of luck

Zep, I quite like the shot, but somehow the Altima seems to be of a different aesthetic (or something) than the rest of the picture and generally, IMHO, gets in the way.

Thanks. I actually wanted to focus on the biker, which would've softened the Altima and brought less attention to it. He rode off before I had a chance though, so I decided to just fade the picture out towards the glow.
