Attaching photos in mail

Is there a way to attach photos in email as an ATTACHMENT, not embedded in the email?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's just how Mail presents the photo. If you want it to appear as an icon Control-click on the image and select "View as Icon". The recipient will see it however their mail client is set up.

How do I resize attached photos in Mail Ver. 7.0

how do I resize attached photos in Mail Ver. 7.0 on iMac

I don't think there's a setting in Mail to make this a default. a ittle searching revealed an app that claims to do it. Attachment Tamer is free to try before you buy to see if its worth it for you or if you just want to do it manually.

Attaching photos in mail on ios7

In the old ios6 when attaching photos to mail you had the choice to resize the photos, this is now not available in ios7, see how it worked in ios6

Can anyone help

You are right, this option seems to be gone. I am pretty sure this is a bug, though, because the option is not even appearing when I am using cellular data and I can't imagine Apple wants us to sent 3MB images over cellular. You should sent feedback about this ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html ).

How can I attach photos to Mail as a thumbnail?

When I attach photos or PDF documents containing photos, to a mail message, the whole photo appears as part of the message. This provides problems at the recipient end as it can take a long time for the mail message to fully open.
What I want is to be able to attach a photo as a thumbnail which can then be opened by the recipient at a convenient time.
I have searched through Preferences and online help but to no avail. Does anyone know if this can be done and how?

The Mail.app displays all image/photo type attachments and smaller PDF attachments (1 page only) inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default for sent and received messages.
Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which you have no control over.
And the same is true in reverse.
For example, such attachments for a Windows Outlook or Outlook Express user appear as attached files only (not shown inline or viewed in place within the body of the message) before and when sending the message but when received by a Mail.app user, the attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when the message is opened regardless.
You can control-click on an inline or viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but such attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless when opened by a Mail.app recipient.
All this depends on the recipient's email client. The only way to prevent this going either direction is for the sender to archive all attachments as a zip file attachment.

Why can't you easily attach photos from Mail?

I'm kind of scratching my head that there is no option in Mail to attach photos or videos. I know that I can exit from Mail, go to Photos, select Copy, select photos, exit Photos, go back to Mail and paste them, but that's about 7 steps too many for my liking. Why isn't there an attachment feature right in the Mail app?

Because we're talking about creating an email in the Mail app _on an iPhone_, not in the Mail app on a Mac. Scroll up to check the forum you're posting in...

Embedded vs Attached photos in Mail

It doesn't matter what email server I use, all of my photos embed. I need them to attach. I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 using Mail 5.3. Can you help?

The longer list is:
[√] use Windows-friendly attachments
Place the attachment at the very beginning of the text or at the very end of the text, or send it by itself in its own email with subject: Photo Attached (nt) ... stands for no text.
Don't let iPhoto send it, attach it manually in Mail.

Attaching photos to Mail then saving by Outlook users

While I can attach and send photos, the problem is for the recipient if they are using Outlook. They see the picture and the file name as a JPEG, but they can't save it as a JPEG.
How do you resolve that or can you?

I use Mail to send photos, and the problems are with Microsoft receivers. At work we run Windows XP so I sent some photos to myself a couple of different ways. When I send it, I am attaching JPEG. When it arrives, I see the picture as if it were a text document and the file name is displayed below the picture with a JPEG extension. The problem is saving it - there is no JPEG option. HTML, Text and a few other options.
That just seems odd to me. If I attach an Excel file, I receive an Excel file.

Attaching photo to mail

Is there a way (or there should be a way) to attach a photo to an email when you already have the email opened. I.E. You click on a link on a website that opens an email and you want to add a photo from the iPhone onto it without having to write down the email address, close that mail, go to Photos, click send, etc.

A photo can be selected from the iPhone's camera roll, which can be accessed from the Camera app and includes photos that were captured by the iPhone or that were saved from a recieved email or from a website, or by selecting the Photos app, which provides access to all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone and photos available in the iPhone's camera roll.

Attach photo in Mail as a file...

Apparently I have to attach the photo, then right click and a pop up option appears and I choose 'Attach as file'... Ummm... any hints? Rain dance as well perhaps?

People get understandably confused about this. The truth is, if you're sending an image within an email, you have no control over how the other person sees it in their email program. (Unless you're sending HTML mail such as a formatted newsletter.)
The option you're talking about - which is actually the "View as Icon" option from your right-click - only changes the way that you see it as you're composing the message. It may be easier to write your message if you're not distracted by a large image in the middle of the typing area.

Attaching pictures to Mail from within iPhoto

For my sister in law I am trying to find out, why she cannot attach photos to mails anymore, i.e. from within iPhoto. In iPhoto, when you select one or more photos, then click on Mail on icon list below the photos, the photos are prepared for attachment. In a pop-up window you can choose from different sizes, for example. When you click on ok, a progress bar appears. Once the process is complete nothing happens, Mail does not open. Also, there is no draft mail created in Mail. What went wrong? How do I fix it? Attaching photos by dragging them on the Mail icon in the dock works fine, though. Thanks a lot in advance.

Given that iPhoto goes through the motions of resizing etc, I would suspect the problem is at the Mail end.
Has she tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility?

Photo attachment size in Mail

Hi
When I attach photos into a mail, they appear as actual size.
I would like all my attachment photos to appear as icons.
I can then change the size of the photos into an icon but have to change each one individually.
Is there a way to do a defult setting so that when I attach photos, they automatically go in as icons?
Cheers
Woodsie

Folks
This is not an issue, it's a feature. By this I mean it's intended behaviour. Apple have not "fixed it" because as far as they are concerned it's not broken. If you would like the behaviour changed then
1. Install Mail-Attachments-Iconizer. I see one poster mentions he had issues with it but I've used for years with none.
2. Always send your messages as Plain text: (Mail -> Preferences -> Composing). This will help with the pic arriving embedded. Though remember, the settings on the recipient's email client is the biggest factor in deciding how the email will display on their machine. Also, remember there's no reason why any other client "should" behave exactly like Eudora.
3. If you want Mail to be changed there is no point in posting here. This is a User to User forum, and Apple do not promise to read it. So, if you want more options, a new default setting or even new preferences: Contact the developers of Mail:
Mail menu -> Provide Mail Feedback
The more folk that do, the better the chance of things being changed.

How do i resize photo attachment in icloud mail

How do I resize photo attachment in icloud mail. The resize button does not appear as it did before.

Using iCloud mail online via a browser does not offer the option to resize the photo. It's only available when emailing from iPhoto so iPhoto can do the resizing as it adds the image to the email. Safari or whatever browser you're using doesn't have that capability.

How can I get to see attached video, How can I get to see attached photos sent from my iPad in a normal browser mail?

Let me elaborate: I sent a photo from the mail app my iPad has and I sent it to myself. When I receive the mail I get to see the attached photo on the mail app but when I get to look it on a normal browser FROM the iPad I doesn't appear. However when I do get to see the mail from a browser from any other device I can get to see the photo. Please help!!

Whoever provides you web access to your email may suppress photo viewing on mobile devices. You should check with them. (E.g., ask Google if it's Gmail, ask your ISP if it's your ISP's webmail viewer, etc.)

How do you attach photos to a Yahoo e-mail via Firefox?

I cannot find how to attach photos to e-mails to my Yahoo mail contacts via Firefox. Every attempt has failed.

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.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

Attaching photos as icons in mail

Is it possible to set up mail to attach photos and pdf's as icons automatically? It is a real pain to have to convert each one individually.
Martin

Hello Martin.
Not without a 3rd party plugin for Mail.
You do know this has no effect whatsoever on how the attachments appear when the message is opened by the recipient?
When selecting View as Icon for an attachment that appears inline or viewed in place within the body of the message and sending it this way to a Mail.app user, the attachment will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient.
Unless you use HTML with embedded images or objects in the message body, the sender of a message has no control over how attachments appear when the message is opened by the recipient. This is determined by the recipient's email client.
