Hey Hey guys.

I would like to be able to export photos from iPhoto to a specific size (100kb)
I know how to export but the only way I have been able to get them to the size I need for the site I am posting on is by trial and error which is annyoing.
Is there a way I can tell iPhot to export to exactly 100kb or closest under or something?

Thanks.

I would like to hear any suggestions as well.

I'm sure I'm doing things the hard way myself by copying them to the desktop, then ctrl+click, open with, constrain...whatever. I wish I had a Mac tutor to show me the 'right' way of doing things.

The problem is, that iPhoto has a build-in export feature that lets you resize the image, but not change the jpeg compression.

Quickest way: Drag image from iPhoto onto any photo-editing app in your dock. I use Photoshop (commercial) or GraphicConverter (shareware). Resize the image to 640x480 or so, then save the jpeg with a 75% comperession level. You should have under 100kb jpegs doing this.
