E-mailed attached images from I-photo are always highly compressed

When I attach an image (e.g. 2.5mb) to an e-mail then send it, the recipient finds it has been reduced to approx 50kb and is pixellated. How can I avoid this happening.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
What email application are you using? How are you sending the email to the application? If it's Apple's Mail app have you remembered to also set the size in the New Message Window?

How can I manually attach images from my photo booth (imported into iPhoto) to emails? Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways?

How can I manually attach images from my photo booth to iCloud emails?
They are imported as 'events' into my iphoto library.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. 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.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How to copy an image from a photo onto another photo

Im trying to figure out how to cut and paste an image from one photo onto another. I tried exporting the main photo to a pages document and then inserting the other image, but cant seem to get it to work. Is there an easy way to do this?

You'll need an image editor for the job:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How do I isolate or extract an image from a photo?

Does anyone know of any programs that will help to extract an image from a photo so it doesn't have an ugly background?

I use PhotoShop Elements 6 - click here for links to other graphic programs to consider (not all will do what you want).

Delete duplicate images and install images from digital photo card

Just installed Lightroom 4, more than 60000 images were imported. Many of them were duplicates, triplets and so on. I want to have a clean, unincombured library. Should I delete the 60000 images and reinstall the images from my photo digital cards or use the slow process of "X" out the unwanted images? I would like to start improving my images vs removing the unwanted images.

HI,
if you just starting to use Lr, I would drop the entire import / catalog and use some external program to find the dublicate image and delete them.
Or if you have all your images on cards, I would copy them to the hdd in seperated folders and rearrage them inside Lr.

Same photos are always included in group of new photos to import from my iPhone to Photos.

Every time I plug my iPhone into my MacBook a group of photos are always included in the group of new photos in the group of new photos Photos selects to import.
How can I convince Photos it has already imported these photos many times before?

What photos are you expecting to stream that are not streaming?
Only the photos in Photo Stream stream to other devices over iCloud. Preexisting photos and albums that are synced to the iPhone do not stream over iCloud to other devices.

I am created windows form
i wont to delete images from the folder where i have stored images but i only want to delete those images which are not in the data base.
i don't know how it is possible . i have written some code
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string connectionString = "Data Source";
conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "select * from tbl_pro";
conn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
int count = Convert.ToInt32( dt.Rows.Count);
string[] image1 = new string[count];

image1[i] = dt.Rows[i]["Image1"].ToString();

pls help me
Sms

Hi Fresherss,
Your del is Local Variable, it can't be accessed out of the if statement. you need to declare it as global variable like below. And if you want to collect the string, you could use the List to collect, not a string. the string will be split to chars
one by one.
List<string> del=new List<string>();
for (int j = 1; j <= b; j++)
if (arrays[j].ToString() != arr[j].ToString())
del.Add(arrays[j].ToString());
else
foreach (var value in del)
string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\" + value;
File.Delete(filePath);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,

Random problem opening RAW images from I-photo into Camera Raw 4.1

Hi there, sometimes when I double click an RAW .NEF image in i-photo it opens into the Camera Raw adjustement window and sometimes not. This is shots from the same shoot and they're all definitely .NEF files. The shots that have already opened always open in the CR window and the others don't.
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy!
I'm running Photoshop CS3 on a quad core intel Mac.
Many thanks
Max

Max,
Very few people here use iPhoto, if any.

I created a new Lightroom catalog for iPhone photos. After importing files from iPhoto photos are randomly popping up and deleting other photos! Is this a virus? A bug? A corrupt catalog? How do I fix it? I just installed 5.6 and that didn't resolve it.

I updated my computer software...I don't know what else to do and I can't find any information about this online.
Please help! Thanks.

Geoff for a few years I used iPhoto for my iPhone files.
Now that I am not using iPhoto any longer I attempted to move my old iPhoto phone files into my Lightroom iPhone catalog.
A couple possibilities are that:
1) There was a problem with the export/import from iPhoto to Lightroom. I've been reading up on how to do it correctly...
One article said to make a copy of the master catalog in iPhoto, export it and then import it into Lightroom. This is what I did.
I read another article that said exporting as Original from iPhoto and then importing into LR also worked so I did that with another iPhone catalog from my laptop.
2) Maybe it's a file name situation? Perhaps the phone rolled over and there are old and new files with the same names.
The strange thing about that is that older photos are popping up and replacing/deleting newer ones.
I would think the newer files would replace older ones if that was the case.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

Cutting out a round image from a photo and placing it on another image using a Mac

I have a mac and use PS elements ... I am battling to cut out a circular image and stick it onto a different photo... I ideally dont want the back ground hence the cutting out but I'm just not able to cut it out and then transfer ... I get as far as shaping it using the marquee tool and then it doesnt do anything further... I'm a novice at PS - Need some step by step help ... My short cut keys dont seem to work like pushing space bar to resize image or using shift to resize image??
Help

My short cut keys dont seem to work like pushing space bar to resize image or using shift to resize image??
Those are not PSE shortcuts. If you want to resize the view, press command plus the plus sign, and to make it smaller press command plus the minus sign. The space bar switches you over to the hand tool so you can move your image around to see a different part of it. When you release the space bar you go back to the tool you had before you pressed it.

Mail attachment button from within Iphoto is not working wth mail

Just upgrade to Ilife 08 and now from iphoto when select apicture and click on mail it never creates a new mail message with my photos attached. geez this is such a simple bug how could it be missed.

eudamon:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you repair disk permissions after installing iLife 08? If not do so now. Next delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
