Emailing Photos Results In Lower Resolution

My brother just emailed me a photo he took on the iPhone 3GS and it was showing as 600x800 and I knew something was off. Pulling the photo from his phone to my computer results in a larger 1200x1600 photo. How can we email the full size image to each other? Is there a setting or something I am missing?
Thanks!

There IS a way around it. When you click on a picture and choose "share" it emails it, resized, however if you click and hold on the picture you can choose "copy" which copies the original image unaltered.
Paste that into an email to send the full resolution image. You can copy as many as you want I think up to 32 successfully into an email by using the icon in the lower left while looking at the entire album instead of the single picture.
You must have OS 3.0 on your iphone to do this.

  • Scary problem! Old photos suddenly dark, low resolution.

    Going through some old pictures I've just noticed that 3-4 sets from 4 years ago have become very dark and lower resolution.
    The weirdest part is that they are not complete "sets" -- that is, the darkness seems to in random groups of certain sets (i.e., the first 3-4 are okay, followed by 20 dark/low rez images, followed by 2-3 'normal' images).
    I tried zapping the PRAM, as I read that resolved a similar issue. And I repaired permissions.
    No dice.
    Any thoughts? What I'm afraid of is this happening to all my photos.
    Note that I upgraded from a 12" G4 to an iMac two years ago, and imported all those photos. I also upgraded to 10.6 about 8 months ago.
    But I just noticed this now -- not sure when it happened.
    HELP!

    Thanks much for the tips. I calibrated per your suggestion and killed the pref file -- still have several batches of very dark, low resolution photos that weren't that way before.
    Weird.

  • After OS X update moving 1:1 images results in low resolution and a long delay to snap into high res

    After the OS X 10.8.5 update on my current generation 27' iMac moving 1:1 images results in very low resolution for those areas I am moving to with as long as a two second delay before the image snaps back into full resolution. Not only that but when it snaps back into full resolution you see a shift in alignment and a snapping into place with the nearby area that was already in full resolution. This is awful and is occuring with Lightroom 5 and 5.2. Has anyone experienced this?
    My iMacs specs are the current generation 27" iMac, i7 3.4 Ghz, 32GB RAM, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB running OS X 10.8.5.
    I did not have this issue with OS X 10.8.3.

    I have noticed something similar on my Win7x64 system, but am not able to reliably reproduce it. It seems, for me at least, to be a combination of +Clarity and Lens Profile Correction which will always trigger an observable screen redraw when moving from segment to segment in 1:1 view mode. The variable is the delay.....most often it's a fleeting effect, but occasionally there's a more obvious delay in redrawing the image display. I suspect the more obvious delay is, in addition to the +Clarity and Lens Correction, some internal resource utilisation over a longer Lightroom session....certainly every time I've encountered it a Lightroom restart has cleared it up.
    Don't know it that helps, or gives you any pointers to reducing the impact. Because of another "issue" with Lens Corrections (when it's applied, Spot Removal work gets slower), I tend to apply it last of all when editing pictures....so that also helps avoid this 1:1 screen redraw problem.

  • Email photo attachment with assigned resolution

    After I took 1600x1200 resolution picture and kept it in a folder in memory card, I would like to send this picture by email but with only 640x480 resolution.
    How could I change the set up?
    I am using 8320 curve.
    Thanks.

    There is not a way on the device to change the resolution of the image.

  • Photos sent in low resolution?

    Hello,
    I've just sent a photo by e-mail by selecting the e-mail icon on the lower right of the IPhoto screen. I selected "Actual Size (Full Quality)" When I did, the window said the estimated size of the photo was 2.3 MB (which it is). When I looked at the e-mail after I sent it, the photo is listed as 1.3 MB.
    I sent another picture. In this case, again with the IPhoto window set at "Actual Size", the message said the photo was 6 m.b. (which it is). When I looked at this e-mail it shows the sent image to have been only 592 KB.
    Does anybody know what's going on?

    I am sending the photos by clicking the icon in the bottom right corner of the IPhoto page. What that always does is open the kind of basic e-mail page that you have included in your posting. I must admit I'd never seen the pop-up in its bottom right hand corner. So I've just run a test.
    I've: selected the same 2.3 MB photo in IPhoto, clicked the e-mail icon, selected "Actual Size", seen the message saying the photo is 2.3 MB, clicked "compose message", been directed to the main e-mail page (as illustrated in your post). This time I looked to the bottom corner of this page and have noted that the pop-up menu says "Actual Size". I sent this e-mail to myself and when it arrives it is still only 1.3 MB in size.

  • How do I convert a digital photo to a low resolution 5-color pixelated image?

    I want to do a lego project with my kid and would like to convert a picture of him into 5-color (or six-color) pixel form so that I can use that as a map to make a portrait that would look great from far away.  Thanks from a neophyte.

    After you have resized appropriately with Resample Image (very important) checked, done the Indexed color and then the Mosaic Filter, you can then Preview Print, which should use the chosen printer's driver to do just that - preview the print. If all meets with your approval, then the resultant print should be good, provided that you have an ICC Profile for that printer loaded, that matches your PS workflow. This will have more to do with color and density, than the printer ignoring aspects of the image. If not, then something is likely amiss with the printer's driver.
    Now, some printers seem to like other formats, better than .PSD's. Some have better luck with Flattened TIFF's, and some with .PDF's. This will likely depend on your printer and on its driver. You might want to Save_As PDF (no need to be able to edit it later here), and try that. Same result?
    Good luck,

  • Why are my photos now appearing in very low resolution?

    What happened to my sharp and clear photos? Why are my photos now very low resolution with a progress image appearing as a circle on the photo and filling in 1/4 of the circle.  Why are the photos very low resolution copies that look like crap? Where are the good sharp photos I took?

    Latest iOS on iPad Air in photos. It appears server was slow. Progress bar circle now filling in complete circle and resolution is good.  Why do I have to download my photos from iCloud i have plenty of memory space on my ipad ?  Same with movies and music I purchased.  I bought extra physical
    memory when I purchased my iPad so I could view my stuff regardless of whether I had a wifi connection...apparently not.

  • HT1044 Low resolution warning in iPhoto 09 but on screen looks great

    Hi:
    I'm working with Snow Leopard and iPhoto 09.  I'm building a book and have added photos.  Some of the photos show a low resolution warning. 
    I'd like to keep them at the size shown in the book.  I've increased the zoom on the pages and the photos look crisp and clean.  Should I be concerned
    about the low res icon then? 
    OR where do I find dpi info and how do I increase it?
    Thanks everyone!
    Terri
    Here's a sample of the pic:
    file://localhost/Users/terrimcreynolds/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Originals/2008/ R.%20Back%20to%20Venice/R_623.bmp

    1 - yes you should be concerned - that is why there is a warning
    2 - screens display images at 72 DPI - printing requires at least 150 DPI and 300 API is better
    3 - you can not "increase DPI" since it is a mathmatical caculation - Dots Per Inch - Dots (pixels) divided by inches
    4 - the solution is to use another photo or to reduce the "zoom" so that the photo does not have a warning
    5 -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • Creating low resolution copy of iPhoto library

    I've got 15 000 high resolution (10 Mpx) on my iMac and would like to have a low resolution copy of the whole library with me on my MBP.
    How would I do this, while preserving tags, albums, creation dates, etc?
    If I just export all my photos in a lower resolution and then imports them, I'd loose everything like that, right?
    Should/can I copy the library, resize the pictures (how?) and then delete all high resolution copies?

    goka
    The correct way to do this is to export all the pics from the iMac library using the File -> Export command. In the resulting dialogue you can
    - write the tags to the files on export, and
    - the export process will maintain all the Exif data - i.e creation dates etc.
    - resize the pics as you wish
    If you export Album by Album to seperate folders it is very easy to recreate your set up on the MBP. - Just drag and drop the Folders of images to the Source Pane on the library on the MBP and iPhoto will create an Album for each Folder.

  • Photo File Size and Resolution

    In the process of creating a book using iPhoto appeared in the corner. The warning said that the photo was of low resolution. I have scanned a lot of my slides, and the files are 65 Mb, which is too big, and the ones with the warning were around 200 Kb. My question is to get the best resolution (while creating a book) what size file should I import into iPhoto?

    frevy,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    As you discovered,the low resolution warning hopefully prevents insertion of low quality pictures in a book.
    Here is an Apple kb article which lists minimum resolutions for different size pages, along with helpful info:

  • Too low resolution on a picture

    I am trying to create a holiday card on a website and am told the photo has too low resolution. They said I can change this on my computer. Can I?????

    No - you can reduce resolution but can not increase it - how are you accessing your photo? What resolution is the original? Try selecting the photo and exporting it and uploading the exported photo

  • IPhoto Calendar low-resolution alert

    I have tried to use old photos for my 2009 calendar. All the photos show a low-resolution alert. Using my present Panasonic digital camera there are no alerts. How do I increase the old photos resolution to high so that my photos will be a good quality picture.

    iPhoto warns you when a picture falls below the 180 dpi level. What are the pixel dimensions of the photos you're using? If they don't fall too far below that dpi level they would probably print up satisfactory.
    Do you have Photoshop Elements or PS itself?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How do I make a photo book with low grade pics from iphones?

    Hello,
    Can Anyone give me some help I am trying to make a photo book with low grade photos from iphones.
    Thank you!

    What exactly is your question?
    If you have low resolution photos then they will have to be printed smaller and the quality not be as good as if you had better photos - there is no way to make a poor photo better
    And in general iPhone photos are not low resolution - what are the pixel dimensions of the photos? What size photos are you trying to print?

  • I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they come up in camera roll as low resolution.  How do I fix this?

    I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution.  First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll.  They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem.  What am I doing wrong?  Is this a bad camera?  HELP please!  Thank you!

    My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time.  I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution.  Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed?  I'm still learning to use it.  All my other photos are of normal resolution.  Does this make any sense to anyone?
    Please help!

  • If I share an album does the recipient receive lower resolution photos?

    Someone shared an album with me.  The photos I see on my computer are all very low resolution (39KB).  The photos on her phone are higher resolution (1MB).  Is there a way for her to share the full resolution photos with me?
    Thanks

    Sure - email the full resolution photo to you
    and possibly other ways but since you tell us nothing about what she has or is doing we can only guess - emailing is the most general way
