Resizing Photos in Mac OS X

And then there’s another little bugger in my quest to . Here’s the steps I use now.
1. Open the image/photo in the Preview
2. From the top menu, Click on Tools–>Adjust Size

3. Enter the new dimension

It is so damn simple…. if you know how.

What I like most about it is the fact that I did not need to install any new software (like WinXP PowerTools). The stock Mac OSX already has this tool.

Renaming Files in Mac OS X

Got a Macbook Pro the other week and I’m still familiarizing myself with the new OS. Well, OS X is supposed to be a simple and you bet it is. But how can I rename the files? Thanks to one commenter in Donncha’s comment, it turned out that it’s actually easy. Here’s the steps.
1. Open the Finder
2. Click/Tap on the file you want to rename
3. Press Enter.

The filename will become editable and you can change it the way you like it. You can see the actual comment here.

Before I found that post, I actually opened the terminal and hack it from there. Yes, it is silly. Labor pains.
