E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto '09

E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto ‘09
Hi:
We used to have a great way of e-mailing photos from iPhoto: specifically, we just clicked the Entourage e-mail icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window, chose the size of the photos we wished to send (ie, one was given options for how much one wished to reduce the size of the photos), and it was done.
Now that we’ve upgraded to Outlook 2011 we seem to have lost this functionality.
I tried to choose Outlook 2011 as our default e-mail program under iPhoto>Preferences>”Email photos using :” but the only 4 options are AOL,Eudora, Mail, and Entourage. Interestingly, the icon used here is Outlook 2011, not Entourage (yellow, not purple), but it still says “Microsoft Entourage” next to the yellow icon, and the mail icon at the bottom of the main iPhoto window is still the purple Entourage icon (and if one clicks it, it tries to open Entourage).
I then went into Apple’s Mail program under Preferences, and made sure that the “Default email reader” option was set to Microsoft Outlook 14.1.4 (which it was), but iPhoto still uses Entourage.
I searched the web and found a tip saying that one can drag photos from iPhoto over the Outlook icon in the dock to mail photos. I was thrilled to see that this worked, only to realize that it sends full size photos, without the downsizing option discussed above.
I thought about upgrading iPhoto to the ’11 version, but a plethora of the online reviews were less than laudatory about the stability of iPhoto '11, so decided to stay with ’09.
Thus, does anyone have suggestions for easily sending reduced size photos from iPhoto using Outlook 2011? I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos, but I would love to find a much more intuitive and quick method, similar to what we had with iPhoto and Entourage.
Thank you very much!!!
iPhoto ’09 8.1.2 (4124)
OS 10.6.8
Outlook: Mac 2011 v 14.1.4

No you don't need to do that. Just use the Export dialogue in iPhoto to reduce the quality - it's exactly the same as the one used when sending to a mail app.
As for the comments about iPhoto 11 - search and you'll find pretty much the same ones about iphoto 09, 08, 6, 5 etc

  • I am not able to mail the photos from iPhoto.  Its always saying that the email address it's not recognized.  Another situation is that when I try to add my me account in the preferences account, doesn't recognize my @me password. Tks for any help! :-)

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Mailing photos from iphoto through mail

    When I mail photos from iphoto through mail, it sends the picture at very low resolution regardless of the setting I choose (small, medium, large, actual). How can I send photos to others at viewing or even printing quality? Can I resize the pictures to my specifications as I used to be able to do on my PC? Through ACDSee I could resize to 50% which would be small enough to send quickly but still high enough quality for the recipients to view and even print. Thanks!

    After iPhoto has created a new Mail message have a look at the bottom right hand corner of the Mail Message window - there's another control there for sizing the pics... try play with that one to find the size you require.
    You can access your photos for sending in Mail too. In the New Mail Message Window there's an icon on the toolbar that will show you your iPhoto library.

  • Emailing photos from iPhoto 09 via Mail always produces same photo size

    I'm trying to email photos from iPhoto 09 using the Email button. No matter what photo size I choose (Small, Medium, Large, Actual Size) in the subsequent compose dialogue the resulting email always shows a small embedded photo. Any tips?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You also need to set the size in the New Message Window in Mail

  • Why when I email photos from iPhoto do they not show in my sent items in my mail ?

    Why when I email photos from iPhoto using the share option does the email not show up in my sent items box in Mail. The emails are arriving ok but I do not have a record of the email being sent. Bit confused. I am new to my iMac .

    If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
    My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

  • How can I copy a photo from iphoto to PReview to make it smaller for uploading to a site that requires a smaller image?

    How can I copy a photo from iphoto to PReview to make it smaller for uploading to a site that requires a smaller image?

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

    How can I attach a photo from iPhoto to mail as a file and not just put it on the email itself?

    Souvent eu ce problème,
    Je cree un dossier sur le bureau et glisse les photos à partir d'Iphoto dans ce dossier. Ce geste a pour effet de creer des copies dans le dossier.
    Il ne reste plus qu'à selectionner ces photos pour les envoyer en pièces jointes.

  • I cannot e-mail photos from iPhoto

    When I try to "share" my photos from iPhoto, it always says that the server does not recognize the user name/password combination.  Yet I can use my e-mail with the same user/passowrd information.  When I check the info in iPhoto Preferences, both are identical.  Where is the glitch?

    Using iPhoto 11?
    Iphoto Menu -> Preferences -> General

  • I sent e-mail photos from iPhoto using my @me account but I do not find the history of sent e-mails in my new iCloud account. Where can I find the history of sent e-mails?

    Using iPhoto as the email client in iPhoto does not creatge a sent copy.  iPhoto indicates in the Info drawer if a photo was emailed by iPhoto (under the Sharing section):
    There's no easy way to search for photos that have been emailed. Each photo has to be inspected via the Info tray.
    One could add a keyword to emailed photos which would let a smart album keep track of those photos.
    A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client (in iPhoto's General preference pane) and use it.  That will give you an sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if you want a theme, numerous photo themes under the Stationary section of Mail.

  • E-mailing photos from iPhoto through Entourage

    I have iPhoto 2 and I am using Panther. When I e-mail photos from iPhoto through Apple Mail, the photos appear directly in the e-mail HTML. When I send them through Entourage, they only appear as attachments. How can I send photos from iPhoto through Entourage with the photos appearing in the HTML body of the e-mail?
    Thanks.

    Since your question is about Entourage, you'll have better luck seeking the answer at the Mactopia forums, but I don't think Entourage works like Mail in this respect.

  • TS1307 "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". This message pops up when trying to mail photos from iPhoto. How do I fix it?

    "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com

    Thanks for helping Christeneau.  You helped me too...eventually.  I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
    I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
    I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using".  What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar.  This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
    It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
    James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
    Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe!  E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
    Thanks again for you help.

  • Mail photo from iphoto

    Could someone walk me through emailing a photo from iPhoto? I've looked at other discussions and following their 'replies' is not working for me. I'm using iPhoto 9.6, and don't know why my iCloud or gmail address and pw won't work. ty

    I am sending emails from my regular email program without any problem. So for example, if I write a regular email to someone i can send a receive regularly.
    It's within iPhoto where I'm trying to send out a photo that I have a problem.  Ichoose mail as the email client  under preferences as instructed. My account name and password are in there by default I assume, since I see my name in the username setting, and asterisks in the password setting and SSL checked. I assume that iPhoto is merely using the same username and password as my regular gmail account so there would be no reason for it to fail. I only see asterisks under the password name so can't verify what password is being used but it should be using the same as my regular email (gmail)  account so I don't know why it doesn't work. Thank you.

  • Uploading photos from iphoto to email?

    How do I atttach a photo from iPhoto to an email?? I seem to be having a hard time finding my files. Thanks tons.

    What ISP(Internet Service Provider) are you using for e-mail?On my AOL e-mail window,there's a small camera icon in the middle bar,if I click on that it has a drop down about insert picture,insert background picture,insert hyperlink,and whatever else.Look for that.If you have something similar,try it.I would suggest doing it without any message first to see what shows up.Delete any attempts you don't care for.I found out if I clicked on the Background one,you couldn't read the message.Mine then shows a mini version of Finder window,navigate to the location of the photo you want.The suggestion of dragging photos to desktop first from open iPhoto window is excellent,the picture icons in my finder are far too small to see.The e-mail Application you use should also give you the option to resize for e-mail.Sends faster.
