Constrain func-

with the Crop
tool.

Resizing using Constrain is not too difficult:

1. Open an image, click the Edit button, and then click Constrain.


2. Choose the desired size for your image. iPhoto will resample it to the new
   size.

Keep in mind that images with barely any resolution are not going to scale up very

well. Scaling down from a large file (in pixels) is what Constrain does best. Scaling

up isn’t going to be pretty with small (pixel-wise) images.
