E-mailing using iPhoto 11

Hi there,
I just installed iLife 11 yesterday. Right now I am trying to write an e-mail with photos in it. I just upgraded from 08. In 08 you can choose different sizes for the photos small, medium, large. I just want to send a quick small e-mail. The photos are of my wrecked truck and are going to a mechanic. And the text box that iPhoto is given me to type in is not big enough and will not grow with the text as I add it. That's my dilemma!
I won't even go into how feminine the message looks. Maybe pretty backgrounds and edges are the future.
Does anyone know how to compress photos? IPhoto used to be so good at this. And also, I used to be able to edit the e-mail in Mail. Now it's all done inside 11.
Any input?
Lincoln

It's what everyone is complaining about. Your only option is to File > Export, say to the Desktop, and then attach them to an e-mail yourself, say by dragging the photos onto the Mail icon in the Dock.
Perhaps soon someone will write an export plug-in that will do that for you.

  • Open photos in mail using iPhoto

    If I Control-click on a photo in Mail, I'd like to be able to open it in iPhoto. There's a tremendous list of applications to choose from in the "Open With >" menu, including some highly dubious ones, like Safari, Make Button.exe, and Conditional Mode Change.exe. But not iPhoto. I find htat passing strange.
    How can I add iPhoto to the list, or better yet add a menu item just for opening in iPhoto. Also, can I get rif of some of tht dead wood?

    If you want to control the size of the photos select them in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder using the various size options available during export - then attach to your e-mail from the folder

  • Cannot Send e-mails for iPhoto

    Hi,
    After the latest iPhoto update a week or so ago, my ability to e-mail from iPhoto has stopped.
    I get an error:
    "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.
    Check your Internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later."
    This is not the case, standard mails work fine and I have removed and added 2 different types of e-mail addresses in iPhoto and its the same (one a .me.com and one a sky.com)
    I have disbled the firewall (just in case) but still no joy.
    My settings are "email using iPhoto"
    If I change it to email using mail it works fine.
    Any suggestions ??

    Terence,
    As per my original post:
    Standard mails are working fine
    I can mail from iPhoto using Mail (which puts the photo's into a standard e-mail)
    I have deleted all my e-mail accounts in iPhoto
    I have created 2 different mail accounts from scratch (.me.com and .sky.com)
    The issue only started after the recent upgrade, before that it worked fine
    I am still not able to send mails using iPhoto.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Using iPhoto, Aperture 3 and Photoshop Elements 9 together...

    Hi everyone,
    I recently upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture. It does almost everything I need but there are some much more advanced editing tools in Photoshop Elements that I need occasionally and also I like to be able to quickly create attractive template based e-mails using iPhoto, so I need all three apps.
    Currently I have my photo library in Aperture 3 but it's really clunky to create attractive photo emails using iPhoto because I have to click 'Show Aperture Library', which is very difficult to navigate and is pretty much unusable. My next attempt is going to be to see whether I keep all my pictures in an iPhoto library and then browse and edit them in Aperture and Photoshop Elements.
    Has anyone got any tips on this topic?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi Ernie,
    Thanks for your post. I will try to explain in a little more detail what the problem I'm having is. If I want to create an iPhoto picture template e-mail, say a postcard, then I select File/Show Aperture Library. A browser window pops up. If I browse to 'Projects' then the previews of each project are huge - about 6 fit on a screen with the window maximised. I can't find a way of zooming out in order that I can browse the hundreds of projects in my Aperture library. Is there a way of doing this? Also, I can't seem to control the sort order. The options in View/Sort Order seem to sort the iPhoto album, not the Aperture library browser.
    If I select Photos from the navigation tree then I get previews of all my 13'000 pictures and about 100 fit on the screen. Again, I don't seem to be able to zoom in/out nor control the sort order.
    What surprised me this morning is that I finally deleted my old iPhoto library and then opened iPhoto to see how it would react. I selected whatever the default was (forgot already!) and now I see my iPhoto library as it was before I deleted it. However, I can't find the library in my Pictures folder. Could it be that iPhoto is reading it from the trash can??
    Finally - is there a way of adding pictures to my posts in this forum? Perhaps I could illustrate the views i'm getting in iPhoto's Aperture library browser.
    Yours,
    Jim

  • Can anyone explain what the other section section in the HDD usage description is for ? I recently used iphoto to send a mail and this "other "section inrease the usage by about 1GB....any ideas why ?

    Can anyone explain what the "other" (yellow colour) section in the HDD usage description is for and what it does.It is under the about this mac section and storage option?
    I recently used iphoto to send mail with photos attached and this "other" section increased by about 1GB. The mail size was around 900KB.....any ideas ?

    Any idea why the "other" continues to increase. I have just got got my mac so no new apps installed yet only been using it for mail and web browsing. I tried the iphoto mail last night and noticed the the "other" section had increased by 1GB which I thought was rather larger. Do you know what this setion actually does ?
    Also do you know if it is possible to delete the iphoto emails.
    All of your 'stuff' that is not Music Movies Apps Backups or Photos is in Other, that means all your emails, all your files etc, why don't you just leave well enough alone, this is not windows and doesn't need tinkering with,

  • When using iphoto to e-mail photos the resulting e-mail doesn't show up in sent folder of mail.

    There seems to be a an incompatibility within iphoto when you share images from within Iphoto using Apple Mail. The e-mail seems to send fine but when you try to go back and look for it in the sent folder of mail, it isn't there....
    Also, when the recipient of the e-mail with the photos replies to your e-mail, the resulting reply that you receive in Apple Mail is not viewable. It shows up in the list of e-mails, but can not be opened...
    Anyone else seeing these issues?

    Nope - have not seen that complaint here are all
    Just to verify - you are using Apple Mail?  It does not sound like it. You set it in the iPhoto preferences. If you are using the default iPhoto mail rather than Apple mail then there is no sent folder and people on PCs may have trouble viewing the photos
    If you are using Apple mail try exporting a photo and attaching it and try doing one using the Mail media browser and see - as far as mail is concerned there is no difference between starting the mail from iPhoto and starting it from mail

  • IPhoto 11--unable to email pics using iPhoto mail

    After I select a photo and then click on the "Share" button to email the photo using iPhoto, iPhoto crashes. However, when I change the mail program in iPhoto to Apple Mail, I am able to email the photo.

    rceenik:
    Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's in there and close iPhoto. Relaunch iPhoto and add it back again.
    nhsebas:
    Do you have your gmail account setup in the Mail application's Accounts pane?
    If you don't then do so.  If you do and still can't send from iPhoto with "Mail" set as your email client,
    Then delete the Gmail account, close Mail, reopen and add it back again.

  • Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email.  I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1

    Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email.  I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1  (902.17) OS is Mavericks 10.9.1.

    Your question and description is not very clear to me, so hopefully something here will help:
    1. Gmail is a service not an app or a place. So you need to access the service with an app - that can be iPhoto, Mail, Outlook or any other mail client, or even a Web Browser like Safari or Firefox.
    So you can't "go to GMail" as you write, but instead you go to an application set up to use the GMail service.
    2. iPhoto is not a mail client. It's a handy way to email pics to Grandma, but for what you're doing you need to use an app that supports all of the Gmail service. iPhoto doesn't. There is no way around that.
    3. How to send to groups will vary depending on what app you use to access the GMail service. All of these apps can receive photos from iPhoto, either - as in the case of Mail and Outlook, via the Share function - or, in the case of all the rest - via a Media Browser.
    For help sending to Groups using any of these other apps you need to ask omn their respective forums. But the workflow is quite simple:
    Using Mail or Outlook set in the iPhoto Prefereneces:
    1. Select the pic(s) you want to share.
    2. Choose email from the Share function
    3. Make your selections re size etc
    4. The email opens up in Mail or Outlook
    - from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
    Using any other app:
    1. In the mail app create a new email
    2. Click on the Attach button or link
    3. Use the Media browser to select the pic(s) you want to send
    4. Attach them
    - from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.

    Re: Add to iPhoto not working from Mail app
    For a work-around see wales34 post in the link above:
    To save a photo in an email to iPhoto make a detour to Preview:
    instead of clicking "Save" photo in the email, click "Quick Look"
    Expand the photo to full screen

  • All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu

    All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu. Do you know how to fix this?

    mmchisholm - just so you know you're not alone, I too am having the exact same issue as of latest software update bundle. Have to manually add each photo until Apple issues solution or minor software update.

  • I can't attach documents to mail unless I use iPhoto

    I can attach JPEGs using iPhoto, but I can't attach files to a message by using the "choose file" button when using the attach browser. When I drag items to the email it shows the green plus sign, but does not attach anything.
    This use to work just fine, the only thing that has changed since then is that I installed Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. Any ideas? Thanks
