Adjusting size of photo prior to emailing it

Whenever I send an email with a photo attached (from iPhoto) it is huge. I've checked Help and can't find anthing referring to how to resize a photo prior to attaching to an email. CH

To send pic via Comcast email:
Per RatVega: use Preview to change size of photo
Preview > Tools > Adjust size
Change size by changing height & width > check Resulting Size box
at bottom of box. Adjust numbers to make file the size you want.
Save As...Name & put file where it's easy to find, such as on Desktop
Go to Comcast mail
Click New > Set up new email.
Click Attach at top of email window > Attach File window opens
Click on Choose File > Finder window opens
Click on the pic file you set up in Preview > Click Choose button
This takes you back to the Comcast Attach File window.
Check that your files there, to the right of the Choose File button
Click Attach at bottom of window
Wait a couple seconds > email will open with file attached.
This isn't quite as tedious as it looks. It does get the pic sized & in Comcast.
Good luck.

My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them

My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them - however my iPhone does, can I make my iPad reduce the size as well?

Hi Frank: After you have selected the photo for the email and started to compose the email, check on the right side of the window. There it will show the image file size, tap there and it will give you options for the photo size. Hope this helps.

Need help with adjusting size for photos in my website

Wow it's super to know about adobe forum which i never thought existed, i have been to the adobe site several times befor but never noticed there is a forum
Ok i have few issues would like some help if possible.
I have a website for public holidays and festivals and i have been really stressed in the ways i am adding the photos which i am buying from fotolia. First in my featured images the screen is very wide and slim...so i am really having hard time with adjusting the photos so they would fit in a way and show the best part of the photo in the screen, once the featured image is clicked on then their is no problem since it opens up in the full size. Is their a speacial tool in adope (i have cs4) which deals with images in this aspect? Secondly, before i was downloading the image with the regular size in which i bought them (around 3000 px) but that significantly slowed my webiste and i had to resize them into around 500 px, but now the image is small. what is the way around that, is there a feature where i can keep the photo big size with high resolution and little px. I see many big nice resolution photos but very small in size. i have just purchased a lot of photos that i would be posting soon and would like to do them right from the start.
I don't know if i explain the situation right in words but you can take a look here, most photos for the posts are on the main page, please take a look and tell me how i should revise or make better for my photos in the featured images.
I have very little experiance in photoshop so i made a very simple logo, but is there a tool that is speacialy designed to help make it easy doing a professional logo?
Any comments, hints or help would be highly appreciated
Hmmm one more thing....how do i add a pic for my profile? i don't see anywhere i can do so

You should use the crop tool to crop your images. You should never squish your images, it really looks unprofessional:
For your problem with saving images, you can optimize your images for web using the "Save for Web…" menu option:
Make sure that you save your images at the dimension that you want them to display on your website (It looks like all your images in the blog are 620px wide, go with that).
As for your logo, you can make them in Photoshop or Illustrator, but I would reccomend making yours in the latter. Here are some tutorials on logo creation: http://ibrandstudio.com/tutorials/46-adobe-illustrator-tutorials-logo-design

I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.

The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

I am trying to send a photo in an email and the file is huge. I remember something about sending the file with less detail and therefore reducing the size. How?

I am trying to send a photo in an email and the file is huge. I remember something about reducing the size of the file but of course can't remember how.

Use a utility such as Graphic Converter to change the image to a jpeg using options to reduce the size of the converted image.

Why can't I drag & drop photos to my email anymore?

The old IPhoto let me just drop and drag a photo onto the bottom part of my e-mail screen (gmail) and it would -boom- just upload as an attachment. I didn't have to open up the attachments folder finder and waste time. I updated my MacBook the other day and now with the new Photos, this function is no longer possible. Why? Do I have to change a setting or something?
Thanks

Simply use the Share feature of Photos
Use Mail to share photos
You can use Mail to email photos directly from Photos. When you use Mail to send photos in an email, Photos sends it from the first account listed in your Mail preferences. If you have other email accounts set up in Mail preferences, you can select which email account to send the email from when you send it.
Tip: If you have many files or large files to send, you can use Mail Drop to send them. You must have an iCloud account to use Mail Drop. You can use Mail Drop to send attachments up to 5 GB in size right from Mail on your Mac, or from icloud.com/mail on your Mac or PC. All file types are supported and attachments don’t count against your iCloud storage.
Select the photos you want to send.You can send photos from your photo library or an album, but not from a slideshow or a project (such as a book, card, or calendar).
Click the Share button in the toolbar and choose Mail.Mail opens a mail message with your photos attached.
Type the recipient’s email address in the To field, then type a subject line in the Subject field.
Type a message if you want, then click Send.

Photo attachment in email doesn't show up in Google Group

I never had a problem doing this with my Windows computer. I would resize the photo (Google has a size limit), attach it to an email, send it to the Google Group, and it would show up. When I do the same thing with iPhoto and attach the resized photo to an email in Mail, the photo is there in the email that appears in my inbox (because I receive new posts to the Group in email form), but it does not show up in the message when posted in the Google Group. I am sending jpegs as I always have. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Google is, of course, no help whatsoever. Can anyone give me advice?

It was that simple! I did what you suggested and the photo was posted. Thanks so much.

Attaching a photo to an email

Help please.
I did review the online questions before asking for help
Iphoto is not allowing me to attach photos to email. The email is in plain text and one photo did attach. The others put the photo itself in. I also chose icon only. There is no consistency in what works.
My process:
Type email
Select Attach
iPhoto comes up
Choose Photos
Click on photo to send
Choose file
Photo goes to email, not as attachment
I am using a MacBook Pro late 2008, iPhoto 11
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thank you for your usual great assistance.

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Reducing size of photos

Can anyone help me? I've just transferred quite a number of photos from my digital camera to the photoshop album and they're about 1.5MB each. How do i reduce the size of photos once transferred as emailing them this large seems to be a problem..??

PSA SE does not have any capability to help you - the full paid-for version can make temporary, reduced size copies for exactly this purpose.
I believe that Windows XP has such a function, but I don't have an XP machine to hand at this moment ...

I want layer or shape width size copy to clipboard for re size my photo before pastit ps cs2 os xp

i want layer or shape width size copy to clipboard for re size my photo before past into ps cs2 os xp
please give me solution for this [email protected]

Using the clipboard for something like this seems wasteful (both for storing the number and for inserting an image).
If you can elaborate on the Layer and File Structure maybe someone over at
Photoshop Scripting
can help you find another approach.

Can't see photos in my emails after updating to iO7

Hi,
I just updated to i07 and cannot see most photos within my emails now. It worked fine prior to the update, even emails with many photos, but no longer. Sometimes I can see a photo, but if I check another email that has more than one and they are not visible, when I go back to my previous email I can't see that one again either. Sometimes it even locks up the phone as if it's overloaded (like a Windows product), but I have plenty of room. Sometimes it shows nothing, sometimes it shows a "download" and sometimes it shows just an outline of the photo, but it won't do anymore than that. I did the update that immediately followed it, hoping that would help, but it did not. I've reset my phone, turned it off and on, made sure the "load remote photos" was turned on and cleared everything from online, etc. I've emailed to others with iphones and they could view the ones I can't. Has anyone else had this problem? I receive a lot of emails with photos for my charity, so it's important that I figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have spoken with AppleCare several times about this. None of the five tech people I've discussed this with had ever heard of the issue before and assumed it was a problem I was having with my device, but when I told them to google "iPad no lyrics" they did see the discussions on the topic. I also had to keep stressing with everyone I talked to that the lyrics were still present on iPods and iPhones with the same upgrade, but no iPads displayed them now.
The last person I spoke with (yesterday) connected me with a senior advisor named Matt who did some research. When he checked he saw that it had definitely been reported numerous times; the engineers are aware of the issue because there are escalated tickets concerning it, but there is no official response yet. He said that Apple typically doesn't take features away - it adds them - so it was probably an error which will be fixed in a subsequent upgrade.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts. They are unable to download the file as the size sent. We have tested this in multiple gmail accounts and we have tried sending as different sizes and actual size with no difference. Other photos attached in other ways come through fine. This seems to be a a result of the recent iphotos to photos app update.
Please advise on if this is a bug with how mail is ending the photos or how gmail is receiving them.

Try using Mail as the email client for iPhoto and see if that will fix the problem:

How to Reduce size of photos

Good day,
I have taken photos with a Pentax digital camera and each photo have at leat 1,5 MO size.
I have Internet intermediate and I have test to send and email wiht 3 attached photos JPEG and it has take 8 Min. 15 sec..
How can I reduce the size of the photos with Photoshop Albun Editon Decouverte 3.0?
P.S. When I take photo with my small Intel PC pocket camera the photo JPEG with resolution 2076x1466 the size are 502 KO.

Hi,
Try this
1. in Adobe PASE right click on the photo and select copy
2. open up MS Paint, it is under accessories on your programs menu.
3 under the file menu select new then under the edit menu select paste.
4. depending upon the size of your photo you may have white background to the right and bottom of the photo - if so drag the outside edge of the white to the border of the photo. I do not expect you will have this with the size of photo you have got
5. Under the file menu select save as
6. on the dialog box give your file a different name eg. name_copy and select the save as type JPEG then click save.
This should give you a copy which will have the same dimensions in pixels as your original but much smaller in size.
On a test I shrank a file from 872kb to 257kb
JPEG is a format which shrinks the storage size of a photograph by throwing away some of the data. Some programs allow you to specify how much you want to throw away (this is the quality setting on your camera). This is why your good camera gives you a much bigger file size than the cheaper one.
MS Paint does not allow you to select the quality but just defaults to low quality which is why the file is much smaller.
If you have a proper photo editing program you will find that this will allow you to change the size of the picture (pixel dimensions) and the file size by specifing the quality of JPEG required.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Bill
