Emailing photos as attachment files

How do I attach an iphoto as a jpeg file attachment to an email that can be opened and managed by a pc windows user? All my email photos show as actual photos imbedded in the email and can't be taken out of the email by the pc user.

Welcome to Apple discussions,
I assume you are using the built in "Email" feature of iPhoto to send your images. While the Mail window shows the images as if they were part of the body of the message, the pictures are still attached just like any other email. I use this feature to send pictures to those of my relatives that use Windows all the time.
If the person you are sending to says they do not see the pictures you can do the following (Note: This is not necessary for using Windows machines but if the person says they can't see it's all I can suggest.):
1.) Make a new folder on your desktop (File > New Folder)
2.) Highlight the pictures you are going to send to the person
3.) Go to File > Export > File Export and export the pictures into that new folder
4.) Click on the folder on the desktop and go to File > Compress
_This will create a .ZIP file with the same name as the folder.
_You can drag this .ZIP file into your email message and send it.
NOTE: If the images are too large the file will not send. Most email providers will not let you send send attachments over 10 MB. To see how big the ZIP file is, click on it once and then go to File > Get Info and note the size. If it is over 10 MB you might want to send several smaller emails with fewer pictures or when you use the File > Export feature of iPhoto change the "Size" to something smaller.
Finally, If you are a MobileMe member you could make a Web Gallery of your pictures and send that to the Windows user.
Hope that helps.

  • Email photo as attachment to open with photoshop on pc

    I AM TRYING TO EMAIL PHOTOS as attachment, without the photo in full view - my recipient is requesting it as an ATTACHMENT - jpeg or otherwise - he is having trouble dragging it off - and opening it into photoshop - he's not a MAC guy (pity him) - but he can't seem to get my photos into photoshop - I've even tried sending them through my kodakgallery website as an album.
    And I've used the print menu to make them pdf - but then he says they only open in Acrobat Reader ...
    HELP!

  • Email photo as attachment

    I email photos all the time out of iPhoto.  Sometimes people (usually on PC's) cannot retrieve the jpg as an attachment.  It is embedded in the email and they can't remove it or download it.  I have tried emailing it directly from iPhoto or starting in Mail and attaching as an attachment.  In both cases, it embeds in the email and they can't get it out.  I now have an important project where I HAVE to email usable pictures.  How can this be solved?
    I have iPhoto '09 vs. 8.1.2

    Plain text messaes sent from Apple mail have attached photos that PC and other users can open or save and use

  • Email photos as attachment not embedded

    I apologise, I am sure this has been asked many times, but I cannot find the answer....
    Using gmail is it possible to email photo as a jpeg attachment so the recipient can save it rather than embedded?

    maggsie
    This is a setting in the application you use for sending Mail. gmail is an email service, So what app are you employing to use gmail?
    If it’s Apple’s Mail, then the trick is to send Plain Text emails.
    However it is worth noting that you have no control over how an email appears to the person at the receiving end - that’s all about their email settings

  • When i get an email with an attachment file it always get saved. Is there a way to not automatically save the attachment?

    When I get an email with a file attachment it is automatically saved to the hard drive. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

    To change that setting go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Advanced" box over in the upper right side of the window>in the line below that that says "Keep Copies of Messages for Offline Viewing:",click on the drop down arrows at the right end of that box just below it and select the phrase "All Messages, but Not Attachments".  It looks like this:

  • Attachment File Name

    I have a form that was created and is used by users on my local network. The problem is that when a user emails the form using the send by email button I get the email but the attachment file name is always the same. This creates a problem because when I go to save the attachment it wants to over write the files. I need to have the file name be unique for each email.

    no, not to my knowledge

  • Previously, after I moved an attached file to another folder, there still remain a link so that I can click and open the file; but now there is no more link.

    Previously, when I got an email with an attached file, I can take out the file to different folders as I desire and then a filelink would take the place of the file in the email. In this way, when I opened email again, I can click the filelink and open the attached file in the folder to which I had moved.
    Now, I find that there is no more such filelink after I take out the file. The attached file cannot be opened within the email now. Is the program changed or I miss anything?

    did you install an add-on that did that? or are you thinking of another mail program like Eudora?

  • How do I scan a photo to a file and then send the file as an attachment via email.

    How do I scan a photo to a file and then send the file as an attachment  via email.

    All of this depends largely on what printer /software you have, which Email client you use and to some extent which OS you are running.
    Most HP printers have HP Solution Center which is used to set up scanning,choosing where to save,etc. Once a file/photo is scanned and saved to the folder, open the folder.Select the file and at the top of the window should be the option to 'Email'.

  • Photo's sent via email not being received with attachment file

    I have a question regarding emailing photos (jpg) files. Though I am able to send the JPG files, when the person receives them they only see the picture but do not have the ability to download the attachment as none is visible. I have tried various methods but none have helped me. Also, can iPhoto import RAW ?

    when the person receives them they only see the picture but do not have the ability to download the attachment as none is visible.
    If they can see the picture then they have got the file. It's a setting on their end to figure out how to download it.
    Also, can iPhoto import RAW ?
    Er, yes but... RAW is a generic term for these files but every camera produces a different form of RAW file, so it's a question of what formats are supported on v6 of iPhoto (a few) on 10.3 (very few).

  • I can not install the 'attach files more easily' facility in my yahoo email. Is this because I now have the latest version of Firefox? I had it on my previous version.

    To send photos I need the 'attach files more easily' facility in my Yahoo email. After I recently upgraded my broadband so that I now get 37mb speed, Firefox (and Internet Explorer) started to 'not respond' so I un-installed it then re-installed it. I got the latest version of Firefox and now I can't get the facility back again. Have you got any suggestions? Yahoo have not been able to help.

    I could only find this link, hoping it will work:

    Check and tell if its working.

  • How I share iPhone 5 IOS 7 photos as "attachment" in email?

    I used to take photos with my iPhone 4 and 5 prior to IOS 7 and be able to share these photos in bulk as attachments in an email. The photos used to be recognized by MS outlook as jpeg attachments. In this process, there was an automatically generated attachment file in connection with each photo that allowed MS outlook to "save all attachments" at once in jpeg format. Now, with IOS 7 and higher, photos shared from iPhone (or ipad) using IOS 7 or higher are sent automatically as some sort of integrated part of the body of the email and cannot be recognized as attachments by Outlook, therefore cannot be saved by MS outlook unless several extra steps are taken to convert them individually from bitmap into Jpeg. I have been using my iPad with my old IOS version (Pre IOS 7) to take these photos and to share them with my MS outlook and to be appropriately saved as jpeg. For my professional use I need to take photos and relay them back into my outlook email to store in a database. I regret I converted by iPhone into IOS 7 and higher. Please help.

    I'm sure that there is a reaon that I jsut don't get but why not either just import via Autoplay or let iCloud download them to the computer it's self. Either way I sadly do not have a direct answer to your request currently.

    Windows Phone 8.1 is so full of surprises and opens the Windows Phone faithful up to a new world of apps.
    Video editors and
    file managers are just some of the new app categories possible thanks to Windows Phone 8.1. We’ve seen an official video editing app from Microsoft already, but today we finally get Files – the official file manager for Windows Phone.

  • Can't attach files or photos after microsoft update to 8.1

    I have a HP Envy Desktop all in one computer which I purchased in April 2013 with Windows 8.  Recently my Microsoft automatic update added Windows 8.1.   When that occured it knocked my printer off and I reinstalled.  I use Outlook 2013  for email.   Another new problem I have since the upgrade  is attaching files and pictures by the method I am used to and like best....
     That is opening the document or picture file and choosing those I want to attach, then clicking "share", "email" and "attach" which includes choosing the size I want.   The outlook icon on the bottom toolbar turned yellow, showing the new email was ready for me to complete.  I can no longer do this.  The process goes through all the steps but does not attach.  I am in my mid 70's and have used computers for many years but am not tech savy.  What is the gliche here??
    I can still open a new email, click on "share",  "insert" and choose a file or photo to attach.  However, I prefer the method described above and have used it for years as I work on genealogy.
    Help!!  Thank you.

    Reset your phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If that doesn't fix it try closing all of your apps, then reset again.

  • Photo in email as an attachment

    How do you add photos as an attached file, not where the photo shows up INSIDE the email? Purpose so receiver can print the photos that were sent by email.

    Send Plain text emails - and that's a setting on your email client.
