Oh really about Preview? Hmm. That, I didn't know.
Would you happen to know how to go about doing this? Now you have me
intrigued. I'll have to look, but mingwhile, if you know how to do it, I'd
be interested.
Chris.

If memory serves me right, you can set pixel size within Preview, but any
graphics convertor will allow you to do this, and yes it can be done in
iPhoto also.

OK, well, for one thing, how does one configure sed picture to the
correct specifications? I know of no app on the mac that accessibly will
do this.
Don't just say IPhoto. That's not what I'm asking exactly. That's kind
of a well yeah? Duh? But, I mean more specifically, how do you do it?
This isn't a challenge, and after re-reading this mail, I'll admit it
sounds like I'm daring you to show me in defense. That is not my
intention. I'm only asking as I am curious. I'm unaware of any easy
way.

Nothing crazy about this at all. We live in a sighted world, and I would
imagine it must be quite boring looking at an empty space where a cover
art picture should be.
It is a bit crazy for websites to include images or photos don't you
think? Of course not.
I am sure most blind people will either just resize an image of
themselves or their guide dog etc to insert into this space. Apple have
not specified that the image must contain a logo or the wording of the
title of the podcast etc.
I am sure blind podcasters want to appeal to non blind users too, and it
is no different to adding a picture to a book cover, album sleeve,
Facebook or twitter profile etc.

Hello everybody
We just got this from iTunes. I think it's going to kill a lot of
visually impaired people's podcasts.
<SNIP>
New Cover Art Requirement
iTunes has been completely redesigned and there are new requirements
for podcast cover art. To be eligible for featuring on iTunes Store, a
podcast must have 1400 x 1400 pixel cover art in JPG or PNG format
using RGB color space. The image URL must end in ".jpg", ".jpeg" or
".png" and the server hosting the image must allow HTTP HEAD requests.
See our technical spec below for details.
Technical Spec: http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html
Server Configuration Requirement
Podcast streaming playback on iTunes requires all hosting servers to
enable Byte Range Requests. Please confirm your hosting servers have
this functionality enabled. If you work with a third-party hosting
service, please contact them to confirm this functionality is enabled
on their servers.
155 Countries & More Than 100 Languages
iTunes Podcasts has launched in additional countries around the world.
Note that reviews and ratings are unique to each country. Podcasts are
published in more than 100 languages.
</SNIP>
Now, correct me if I am wrong. But it's my understanding that blind
people have no use for these images. Who, I wonder, came up with this
crazy mandate?
