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.

    But not using the photos ap..which is where the photos are. Any help would be appreciated.!

    In an album in Photos touch the Edit button and then touch the desired photos (up to 5). A blue check appears in each selected photo. Next touch the Share button at the upper left and select Mail. This starts a email with the photos attached.

  • How can I attach a photo to an email,using Photoshop Elements9,without going through the Revel cloud

    How can I attach a photo to an email using Photoshop Elements 9, without going through the Adobe Revel cloud?

    You don't need an Email client nor Adobe Revel account to send email and photos as attachment.  All you need is an email account (could be free web-based account such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL or whatever including from your own ISP.  And of course an Internet Connection.
    Now the most obvious requirement is out of the way so you need to go in to your Organizer and click on Share button and choose Photomail. Select the photo you want to send and follow the instructions that are on your screen.
    You also need to request an Adobe Verification Code to enable you to use Adobe's Mail Servers to send the photos for you.  To do this go to:
    Edit >> Preferences>> Sharing
    Look for something like this and fill out the red boxes where indicated (click on this image to see it clearly).
    Hope this gets you started.

    There is not a function in the iOS mail app to add attachments, has to be done from the app you want to share the content from.
    That's not entirely correct, and certainly not for photo or video. To attach a picture or video to an existing e-mail, what cheonweb states above works (tap and hold in an empty part of the e-mail, then tap the right arrow in the pop-up to get the "Insert Photo or Video" option).  You can also copy a picture from the web to the clipboard and paste it into the body of the e-mail.
    For other types of files, you're correct in that you have to start from whatever app can open the file type you want to send via e-mail.

  • Every time I do attach a photo to an email and I click on attach it logs out and I have to login again???

  • Why,suddenly this morning, I cannot attach a photo to my email.

    suddenly this morning I cannot attach a photo to my email. When I click on the paper clip (to attach a photo) nothing happens. I can attach photos using chrome so I am thinking it must be something went arye with mozilla. It worked fine last evening.

    Gmail? For now, you have to allow pop-ups for google.com to work around some change in Gmail.
    While you have the compose window on the screen, click the padlock in the address bar.
    * If the pop-up permission is listed there as Block, change it to Allow.
    * If the pop-up permission is not listed there, click More Information to launch the Page Info dialog, then click Permissions in the top bar. Scroll down to "Open pop-up windows", uncheck the box for "Set default" then click Allow and close the dialog.
    Then try the paper clip again.
    Google should at some point provide an update on how it will resolve this in the main thread here: https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/gmail/q0BxcGOa6pk/discussion

  • How can I attach multiple photos to an email using IOS 8.1.1

    I am trying to avoid having to attach one photo at a time when emailing a group.

    One option that you have is to go to the Photos App and go to your Camera Roll or where you have the pictures you want to send, then click on the select option at the top right side and select all the pictures you want to email.
    Once you selected everything then click on the share button at the bottom and do the following depending on the number of photos:
    - If you want to send 5 or less then you can select the mail option and this will create a draft with your pictures and then you can just add the address
    - If you  to send more than 5 then you can select copy, then go to the mail app, create a new email, press and hold on the text section and then select paste, all your pictures will be copied and then just add the address you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I attach a photo to an email as a file and not an image?

    attaching photos to an email puts the image in the email rather than a jpeg for example.  How do I send it as a file?

    Attachments in mail are inconsistent - sometimes they'll go as a real attachment, sometimes as embedded. If you first zip the file, it will go as a real attached file rather than as an embedded one.

  • Cant Attach Iphoto Photos into Email?

    I always was able to simply attach iphoto photos into an email when I wanted to send a photo to somebody.  Id just click Attach..Then my photos would show up..Id choose one and be done.
    However, I just opened IPhoto and it said I needed to update something in order to see my photos.
    As soon as I did that, I am no longer to see  my photos when I try to attach one to an email.  I select Attack but then I just see "Iphoto" but it doesnt open up to show my events, folders and individual folders.
    Does anyone know why or do I have to change some kind of setting?
    At first it said to open iphoto but I did that and it still is not showing my photos.
    I am using LION OS

    Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
