There isn't an option to resize images, do you mean crop
Once you have put the photo into the edit mode, choose the crop option.

Jul 28, 2015 3:57 AM in response to Tennisball50by Terence Devlin,You can change the dimensions of an image by cropping - theta's the length by breadth.
You can change the size of the file when exporting. Choosing different settings for the Jpeg quality will do this. File -> export...

It's not a defect nor is it missing. You can resize an image during the export process using Custom Size:
Resized images are normally for use outside of the library so this does the job intended. You can select Maximum width, length or just dimension. That will resize the image to those pixel dimensions.

No you simply do not understand - you can resize by exporting - you certainly can not resize without exporting since that would change the original image and with Photos (and all non-destructive editing programs) you never change the original
During export you can change the file size by changing the quality (JPEG compression) or change the image size by setting Pixel dimensions

Sep 20, 2016 8:30 AM in response to Old Toadby hugowoddis,Thanks for the tip; though I have to say I am in agreement that it is a fault as most of the time when I need to do this is so that I can upload the images to a website, and having to export means creating a new location for the images I want to upload, and then deleting them once uploaded so as to not clog up the desktop or wherever, so needs extra steps. Not user friendly in my opinion...

Sep 20, 2016 12:27 PM in response to hugowoddisby Keith Barkley,What should it do? If you have a 10,000 by 10,000 image and resize it inside Photos to 1000 by 1000, should it just replace the 10,000 by 10,000 version? What if you need 5,000 by 5,000 tomorrow?
Photos does the best thing. It internally works with the largest image you have and only makes decisions like size on export or sharing.

If you are using the Share menu you will find predefined exports for standard exports - to Facebook, Flickr, Mail,...
But do not sacrifice the full resolution versions in your library. The displays are increasing in pixel size every year, and a photo that will look good on a large display today, may be horribly blurry on the standard displays in a few years.
When I started with digital photography I reduced the first photos I took to the pixel size of the monitor of my Mac at that time and have regretted it ever since.

It's not a fault. It's simple. It's a non-destructive workflow. The original is always preserved. If you don't that feature then you're using the wrong app... (Or maybe you should shoot lower quality). But for the folks who want non-destructive processing the app is working exactly like it should.

Oct 2, 2016 3:32 PM in response to Old Toadby Politalk,I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing any option to resize images during the export process. Am I missing something or has this changed.
I'm using Photos version 1.5
OS v. 10.11.6
