Aperture 3 library in Mail Photo Browser

I no longer see the Aperture Library when I invoke the Photo browser in Apple Mail. Anyone else having this issue? I downloaded the update just after A3 was launched and that didn't help any.

The Aperture Tutorial mentioned that I can click on the Photo Browser button in the toolbar in Mail. However, the Photo Browser Button in Mail does not exist in my Mail.app. I tried to customize toolbar but did not find such option. They only way is to open the Photo Browser from "Window" in the top menu bar. I mean, it works in the tutorial videos but not in my system. Any way to fix it?
(I am running Mac OS 10.6.2, and Aperture 3)

Aperture not showing up / displaying in Mail Photo Browser in Leopard 10.5

This is for anyone who upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 and wanted to use Mail's Photo Browser to insert Aperture pics into mail messages. At first, it only displayed the iPhoto and Photo Booth folders in Mail's Photo Browser on my Powermac but I remember seeing it in the Apple store.
If you already generate previews in Aperture, this is pretty much a non-issue. But for me, it frustrated me for a long time. To make it work, the previews must be set in Aperture. I turned it off because it used up extra HD space.
In Aperture, you need to check the "Share previews with iLife and iWorks" under Preferences. Then decide which size and quality of a preview you want. The larger the size and quality, the better it will turn out when you use it in the photo browser. This dictates the image size and quality of what is imported into your Mail message. (I used the smallest size and a quality of 7, which gave satisfactory results without making the aperture library grow too much). I figured it I wanted to email a large, I could attach it separately via a standard export from Aperture. Don't go too low on the quality as it will not turn out very good.
Remember to go and generate previews for each folder or pictures, as those are the only ones that will show up in the Mail photo browser. The folders will show up but no pictures if you don't generate the previews.
It takes a minute before it refreshes in the Mail Photo Browser. Just play with the different settings and put them into your mail to compare the results.

I had a similar problem and what I found was that I had some corrupt .avi files. Once I removed them all was well. I had to create a new iPhoto library and hunt and peck. I would drag part of the old library into the new library then see if iTunes would see the photos - once it froze then I knew what part of the iPhoto library to look at.

Lightroom 2 Catalog in Mail photo browser

Can I view pictures in my LR2 catalog from the photo browser in Mail?

I use Lightroom and I don't think you can see its library from the Photo Browser. I think the Mail Photo Browser is only locked to Apple products: the iPhoto library, and maybe Aperture's.
BUT, don't let that stop you. You can drag images out of Lightroom and drop them into a Mail message just as easily as using the Photo Browser, so just do that. Drag a picture out of the Lightroom grid mode and drop it into a Mail message. I think I might actually prefer this to the Photo Browser, because it isn't necessary to dig down through the Photo Browser to find it all over again when you can already see it in front of you in Lightroom. Just drag over what you can already see.
Just make sure you're dragging a mail-friendly file format. I say that because most people edit Raw files in Lightroom and chances are you want to put a JPEG in your mail message, not a raw file most people can't read. If you don't have JPEGs yet then use the Export command in Lightroom and use the option to automatically import those exports back into the Lightroom catalog. Then drag 'em over to Mail.

My mac pro mail photo browser not opening

my mac pro mail photo browser not opening

I actually have it the other way thinking of my iDevices as windows into my mail and my MP as my main repository. I also set my devices to delete of server any mail I move from my devices inbox to minimize multiple deleting unwanted mail.
But the real issue was to be able to access all my stored mail on my MP when traveling. IMAP is a way to go, yes. But my concern, please educate me if I'm wrong, I have 6 email accounts. With POP I can drag any email from any account to the ame folder on my MP.
As I understand IMAP each account would have its own sets of folders. So where I have "Work" ot "ToDo" folder that hold all mail regardless of account, I couldn't have one folder "Work" and drag all mail to it because folders are created per account, per ISP (and I have multiple accounts from various ISPs).
So I'd have to have a Work folder for each IMAP account and have check each instead of one the way it's set using POP - ON MY MAC on my MP.
If I'm right abou this, then using a remote app like SplashTop 2 to use any device to login to my MP to read, reply, delete, store, then is a great solution since I'm actually working on my MP remotely. Only problem would be if I forgot to turn my MP on before traveling.
Am I on the right path?

Apple Mail, Photo Browser, Attachments and Yosemite

OK,
Help.
Anytime I want to insert a photo from my iPhoto Library into Apple Mail via Photo Browser in Yosemite Mail, it crashes.
My preferred method - Via add attachments - Finder/Pictures/Iphoto library doesn't work anymore. It now says Open iPhoto library.
Why does Apple change these things without like checking them out?
Anyone have an advice. I think Yosemite is pretty half baked. I'm a computer consultant and this is the worst release for customers since Leopard.

Post the first 50 lines of the Mail crash report and the lines for the crashed thread.
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Note: Since it's Mail that's crashing it's not an iPhoto problem but a Mail/System one.
Log into another user account on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists there. If it does then it's a system wide issue. If not it's an account issue.
Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify some of the more obvious culprits.

Mail - Photo Browser Empty

Hello All,
I'm new to mac and I just switched from windows. The photo browser Apple Mail doesn't display any photos, or audio or video. How do I fix this?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Rufus.

Do you have photos in iPhoto or Aperture? I think you need to have photos in one of them (or Photo Booth) in order for any to show up.

Mail - Photo Browser

Currently the only items showing in the photo browser are iPhoto and Aperture.
Is it possible to view other folders?

Yes, just drag the folder of your choice to the Photo Browser window. The trick here is to use Expose, because when you click out of Mail, the Photo Browser disappears.
In the Finder, choose the folder you want (click and hold the mouse button) then hit F9, mouse over to Mail, hit F9 again, and drop the folder into the Photo Browser.

How to hide mail photo browser

Friends,
When using the photo browser to attach images to mail messages, I've found that the only way to hide the browser is to close it. Is there any way to make it behave like every other window, which is to move back in the stack when I click on another window, such as my mail message?
Thanks!
Steve

Don't use webmail. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26985 for starters.

Mail photo browser will not open using button or menu item

I have a Air 13" and recently installed Mountain Lion. Now the photo browser window in mail (apple mail) will not appear. Not from teh photo browser button on compose email or the file menu item. It worked flawlessly before. Can't find anything online about this.
Assistance is appreciated.

Same issue on new MBPro having just installed Mountain Lion.

Aperture library does not appear in Photos browser of FCPX. Why?

I can't figure out how to make FCPX photo browser to show my Aperture library. Apple support tells: open photo browser and you will see all your aperture libraries. But my photo browser is empty. I searched the web, this forum and did not find the answer. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much Luis Sequeira1 and Skyking.
I tried it and it worked.
Just strange that you should do something which is not listed in the official manual.

Viewing Aperture 3 Library from iLife/iWork Programs

I am unable to view photos in my Aperture 3 library from the Media Browser of any of the iLife/iWork Programs. I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

There was a software update to make the iLife apps compatible with Aperture 3. Did you check your Software Update since installing Aperture?

Viewing Shared Libraries in Photo Browser

Is there any way to view shared libraries in photo browser, so I can more easily mail photos using the Mail app, not the iPhoto mailer? All I want is to see the shared library in the mail photo browser, without having to export, import, and all kinds of other hassles.

You can certainly create a library on an external drive or have multiple libraries, though only one (system library) will sync with iCloud Photo library, though I assume that is per user - not sure how it might affect things if you are using differernt iCloud credentials.

No photos appear in Photo Browser?

Just got a new iMac (it's sweet, btw) and have now jumped from 10.4 to 10.6. There's this new little thing in Mail called Photo Browser which seems to supposedly be connected to iPhoto to easily access pics. But my Photo Browser is completely empty, even though I have about 1,500 pictures in iPhoto. Is this just a small hiccup due to the fact that I transferred all my files and settings over from my other Mac (a MacBook)? Anyone else see this issue? I searched through the discussions but don't see this topic.
thanks.

Know of any way to "upgrade" the library, while retaining all the albums (regular albums, smart albums, web albums) and events?
no, but it should not be necessary either with iphoto08. it's sufficiently recent. in fact, I did almost the same thing as you. i had leopard and iphoto08. I bought macbox set of SL, upgraded to snow leopard and then installed ilife 09. I don't have any issues seeing my iphoto library in the photo browser in Mail. cold try doing it from another account? make a new account, copy your iphoto library there, set up Mail there and see if it works there.

Stills Resolution - Photo Browser vs. Importing into Event

All,
I am preparing a slideshow with photos of varying size. I manage my photos in Aperture and usually use the photo browser in Final Cut Pro X to access them. Some of the photos are low-res (0.1 MB 286 x 369 pixels, for example). If I bring the example photo into my project via the photo browser, the resolution is cut in half (143 x 184). If I import the photo into the Event Browser and add it to the slideshow the original resolution is preserved. Its obviously an easier workflow to use the photo browser but many of the photos I am working with are of poor quality to begin with so I don't want to have to first export from Aperture then import into FCPX. Does anyone know why I am seeing this behavior?
Thanks very much,
Peter

You're probably transcoding to Proxy.
This halves the size of the imported media.
Andy
That's what I thought at first, but that is not what I see in my machine.
I set the playback to proxy media, and in the Proxy Media folder I get an alias to the original file (sitting in the Original Media folder, naturally), so even using proxy does not halve the dimensions of the still image.

Aperture doesn't appear in iWork's media browser or Mail's Photo Browser

I've just installed Aperture 2, and I realize that it doesn't appear in the following browsers:
- Media Browser in iWork'08
- Photo Browser in Mail
Also, in iTunes, I can select Aperture to sync photos from, but no album is displayed
Any idea what could be wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

After a long while on the phone with Apple Tech Support, we finally figured out the solution. After deleting ALL my previews (control-click on your main library icon and choose delete all previews) the Aperture library structure shows up everywhere it is supposed to. Of course, generating new previews will give access to the images again...
Hope this helps.
