Okay. This Is Strange.

After doing right by me for months, iPhoto has now decided that after I crop a picture, and tell it just how little I want it to be, I can neither:

1) have it remain small within iPhoto, nor

2) move it to my desktop, rename it, and have stay at the dimensions I've specified.

What this means is that Movable Type will not let me upload any picture I take, because they are all "too large." Even if I told iPhoto in no uncertain terms that I wanted to make the image little.

Obviously, there's something I haven't found. Anyone know the answer? This used to work just fine. Wait: not fine. I did have to re-size the photos to appropriate dimensions after placing them. But at least MT would allow me to upload them, and now it's turning 'em all down.

Still, one would think that iPhoto would respect my wishes to make an image small. I thought the computer was supposed to do the will of the human. Another naive misconception on my part? (Mandy and I have had this talk about the dog-human relationship, and have not achieved perfect accord.)

1 You can use your network. Photoshop edits don't expire. And it's like never having to pay for a martini, right? Except the guy is three time-zones over.

2 Ah, there are simply too many to "outsource" to you, D. Also, there's now a version of P-shop out for people as broke as I am. But I'm sort of aggravated on principle. How can iPhoto tell me it's re-sized something, and then stab me in the back that way?

4 Wait a second. Too many? Am I on the wrong blog of yours? Which one has more than a couple pics a month? You are just too lazy to load all of them in an email, aren't you?
