I have the 27" iMac with OS X El Capitan. I'm a fairly new Mac user and still learning. I need to submit a photo to my son's school in a "wallet" size by tomorrow. I selected the photo and selected the 3x2 size in cropping/editing tool. I then sent an email with the attachment of that photo to myself at another email address. I was unable to print it in wallet size. What am I doing wrong? Any tips for what I need to accomplish. Many thanks!

I don't see an option for 3 X 2 in my Photos app.
Suggestion to try:easier.
Perform your edits as you've done.
Drag photo to desktop.
Open in Preview then resize accordingly.
Save as a copy and try using that one.

I will try that. I get so confused with using a Mac. How I got to select the 3x2 size was I selected my photo, clicked edit > crop > aspect > 3x2. Hoping you can tell me what that does. Perhaps just shows what it looks like in the various sizes? I will now try your idea. Thank you.
Hoping you can still offer some assistance...I was able to drag to my desktop, however, when I open it in preview, I'm not seeing options for resizing. Thanks in advance.
Do it in photos - very simple
select the photo(s) and drop to 3:2 (this is a ratio - not a set of dimensions) can then select the photo(s) and print (file menu ==> Print) and select Custom and in the aspect ratio field select custom again adn then set the photos print size in inches of 3 x 2 and print

Dear Larry HN,
In the three years since I have owned this big iMac, have 'wished' could print wallet size or nearly wallet size photos.
I have a HP Photosmart 6525 printer and thought maybe that was my problem.
My problem was that I simply hadn't read your most helpful commentary!
Now I can finally stop making photo cards on 5x7 card stock! Have sold different photos over the past couple of years, always! wishing could offer a smaller card.
You just paved the way.
You're a genius in my book, and a most thoughtful soul to take the time to offer assistance.
Thank you so VERY much!
you are welcome
Thank you for your kind comments
