Shrink Photo for Mail Signature

Hey there coachflash,

It sounds like you are using a photo in your email signature and rather than staying where you resized it in the mail preferences, it keeps going back to original size. I would change the size of the image with the Preview application, save it, and use the updated picture in your signature:

Preview 5.x: Resize an image

Change an image’s dimensions

1. Choose Tools > Adjust Size.
2. Enter new values for width and height, or choose a common size from the “Fit into” pop-up menu.
   • To resize the image by a percentage, choose “percent” from the pop-up menu next to the Width and Height fields, and enter the percentage in those fields.
   • To ensure that the image keeps its original proportions, select “Scale proportionally.” If you change either the width or height, the other value changes to maintain the proportions. If you choose a size from the “Fit into” pop-up menu, the image’s width or height may be smaller than the chosen size to maintain the proportions.
   • To make the image’s dimensions smaller without losing any detail, deselect “Resample image” before changing the width or height.

To resize multiple images at the same time, display the images in the same window, select them in that window’s sidebar, and then choose Tools > Adjust Size.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

All the best,

Sterling

Hello, Thank you for posting this help...unfortunately I followed the instructions step by step for about 10 times =/ arr. and when I resize it it looses the dpi!!

I am trying to resize the pic of my logo to drop it into mail signature. Why is it doing this?? Help? see the screen shot is blurry 0_0

i had the same question and this worked. Thankyou.

Add the photo to Mail as an attachment, then look to the right side of the new message and set the Image Size.

This was really helpful.

Thank you
