Exporting images in Mail to Iphoto

My son recently sent some photos of your new grand daughter by way of email into my Mac Mail program. Is there a way that I can export these to Iphoto and make a good print from them. I am aware that I can make it only as good as he sent it.
Thanks for your help -

Drag the pics from the Mail window to the desktop, then import them into iPhoto using File -> Add to Library.

Exporting photos from mail to iPhoto

If someone sends me a photo in an e-mail (not an attachment) how do I export the photo to my iPhoto library?

If someone sends me a photo in an e-mail (not an
attachment) how do I export the photo to my iPhoto
library?
There are several ways to do this:
(1) put your pointer on the picture, hold down the mouse and drag out of the Mail window onto your Desktop. This will create a new icon on your Desktop with a name like "image...jpg". Drag this to the icon of iPhoto which is in your Dock.
(2) believe it or not, ALL photos ARE attachments. Double-click on the e-mail message to open it in a separate window. Under the Headings (To: , Date:, Subject:, etc.) it will list how many attachments there are. To the right of this is a Save button. Click and hold this. The last item should be "Add to iPhoto". Click on this, and your photo(s) will be put in iPhot.
Hope this helps!

Can't export images that originated in iPhoto

I recently upgraded to Aperture 3 from iPhoto. I used Aperture's 'Import from iPhoto' to bring my images across (about 35GB worth). I just figured out that I can't export iPhoto images from Aperture. The export dialogue box simply doesn't appear. Any ideas?

Are you really using Aperture 3 on Mac OS X (10.5.5)? The recent Aperture version requires 10.6.8 at least?
How do you want to export your "iPhoto images from Aperture."? I assume you want to export the images you imported from iPhoto to Aperture to a folder on you disk?
Select the images yu want to export in the Browser, and then use the main menu bar: File > Export > ...
like this:
Then select, if you want to export the masters or versions.
Does this not work for you? What do you see in the File menu? Or do you want to do something different? Then please explain more.

IPhoto 5 not exporting images as jpg anymore

Hi all
Yesterday I downloaded the trial version of Fireworks to be able to do some work on my web site. Previously to the download I could export images out of my iPhoto and have it displayed in my finder as .jpg . After downloading Fireworks the images are sent to finder with just the name I've given it with no .jpg. I've tried, in the export box, to change it to jpg when prompted but this doesn't work. Suddenly all the pictures I try to export are not accepted by my web site.
I tried loading the pictures to Fireworks and then saving them but again when looking in the finder under pictures there is no jpg, or any other attachment with the pictures.
I have since un-installed Fireworks and restarted m computer but the problem still exists.
Any thoughts?

Michael:
Launch Image Capture and make sure iPhoto is selected as the application to launch when you connect your camera. IC's preferences is where you make that selection. Did you run any updaters shortly before this started?
As a note if case you have iPhoto delete the memory card after the upload I suggest you do not as there have been too many cases of incomplete uploads and complete erasures. It's safer to have the camera reformat the card.

No export from Mail to iPhoto since Mavericks

Since I installed Mavericks I cannot export pictures from Mail to IPhoto in spite of right click with "export to iPhoto" line
Can anyone help. Thanks

Upgrade iPhoto to 9.5 and try again. If it still fails as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

Hello,
I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with
# Create snort user. The intention is to let user snort have access only to the snort database.
$ sudo createuser -U _postgres -P snort

It keeps telling me "could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory"
I'm running OSX Mountain Lion, and have verified using serveradmin status postgres that it is up and running.

Critical issue with exporting images in iPhoto 08?

I have been exporting selected photos to a thumb drive under iPhoto 06. I then take the thumb drive and put it in a pioneer palsma and go to GALLERY mode. Works fantastic and I can then review the images with my clients. Never had a problem with iPhoto 06. I upgraded to iPhoto 08 recently and export selected photos to the thumbdrive under the new upgrade. When I go to Gallery mode on the plasma the photos do not come up and it hangs up the plasma..... ??? Seems to be a problem somewhere with what "08" does with the photos? I ran a number of different test with two different thumb drives using photos from iPhoto 08 and cannot get them to work. I go back to an old iMac that was not upgraded to iPhoto 08 and both thumb drives they work fine on the plasma. In fact it is almost impossible to mess the operation up with "06". I have tried to export the photos in "08" in all the various size options and still no success. I would appreciate any help to this critical problem I am facing since I use this function of showing my images on a plasma on a daily basis . After about 10 to 12 hours of working htis problem I am totally loss as what to do. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your reply.
1. I select the photos from iPhoto - varied between 5 and 20 (ran different test)
2. Click on FILE
3. Select EXPORT
4. Under the FILE EXPORT tab I have tried all the various options with no success
5. KIND - I make sure they are JPEG files - I have tried the Original also which is actually JPEG files
6. JPEG QUALITY - I have tried all 4 options from LOW to MAX
7. SIZE - I tried all 4 size options from SMALL to FULL
8. FILE NAME - I use filename
9. Select EXPORT tab
10. I export to the thumbdrive and I chcek and they are on the thumbdrive
11. I also tried to EXPORT to the desktop and copy them to the thumbdrive
I click on the photos on the exported images I placed on the thumb drive and they come up fine on PREVIEW on my MAC. No prroblem with the images until I try to use them on the plasma. I go back and use images from iPhoto 06 that I did not call up with the "08" program and they work fine.
Hope that explains what I do. Thanks again

In iPhoto, how can I export images with the metadata - including the title and caption information - intact as part of the image?

Problems exporting images from iPhoto

Hi all,
I have iphoto (ver. 6.0.6) on a MacBook running OSX 10.4.11. I have a WD external hard drive connected to an airport base station and due to a lack of space on my MacBook HDD, recently moved my iphoto library to the external hard drive. Since then I've had a few problems with the database becoming corrupted (probably my fault) and have rebuilt it a few times now. I've read a few posts explaining that image files should only be edited in iphoto and so I'm sticking to that now.
The new problem that I have is in exporting images to a folder, say on the desktop for example. I want to upload some images to a website to have them printed off. Previously, when my photos were on my MacBook HDD, I created a folder on the desktop, highlighted the images I wanted and dragged them to the folder, then uploaded them to the website from the desktop folder- job done. Now, however, when I try to either drag them to the destop folder or export them, some of the files are 'converted' to Unix Executable files while the others are in their original jpeg format. I've tried exporting them and selecting the jpeg option instead of the original default option but no luck. Can anyone suggest where the problem might lie or what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Two problems with your set up.
1. You getting a corrupted Library because iPhoto does not sit well with a wireless connection to the Library. If iPhoto is interrupted while writing to the database, then it becomes corrupted. Dropouts are a fact of life in Wireless networking. As long as you have this wireless connection you will have a significant risk of a damaged Library file.
2. My guess is that the External Disk is formatted for Windows (a FAT format). This exe issue arises when jpegs are stored on a FAT formatted disk. You need to reformat the disk for Mac OS X Extended.

IPhoto export images w/Adobe RGB

I shoot in RAW (Nikon), import image file to iPhoto, do some minor edits, and export to JPG (max quality) or TIFF. When I open with Preview and do COMMAND-I, I noticed the exported file now has Adobe-RGB as the color space.
How I can export (from iPhoto) to sRGB color space?
Can I convert/re-assign the color space from Adobe-RGB to sRGb in Preview or any other appication?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where do you export the file to? Are you using iPhoto to do the editing or a 3rd party editor like Photoshop?
Is there a menu option in the camera's settings windows that lets you assign a color profile? If there is what is it set to. Does editing a photo that hasn't come from your camera result in the Adobe RGB profile?
How is your iPhoto Advanced preferences set up?
Click to view full size
If it is not checked then check it, import a RAW file, do you edits and check the profile. If it is checked, uncheck it and run the same text.
For photos already edited and exported out of iPhoto you can use this Applescript to losslessly embed the sRGB color profile in the files: *+Embed sRGB Profile-Applescript+*. You can download it from Toad's Cellar. It must be applied to image files outside of iPhoto.

How to Export from Mail to iPhoto

I am using Mail v6.2 under OS X 10.8.2 and our daugter sends (crappy) pictures from her iPhone 5 to my mail. When I right-click on the picture, Mai presend a dialog box with an option to "Export to iPhoto." Mouse clicking on this option does nothing. I have even tried it with iPhoto open and it still does not work. Teh only way I have been able to get photos from Mail to iPhoto is to drag copy to iPhotol.
How to i activated the "Export to iPhoto" opton in Mail?

You should be able to click on Save:

None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview.

None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview. When I try to export a file from any of these programs, the app hangs for a few seconds and then does nothing, not even open an export dialogue. Same thing happens when I try to attach a file to an email. Also, maybe related and maybe not, Photoshop will crash after the splash screen. All of these app function properly when using a different User Account.
I've tried deleting my application preferences in my user library and when that didn't work, I deleted my account and then created a new one that used the same user directory, which still didn't fix anything.
I don't really want to make a new user from scratch and have to re-enter license numbers, re-calibrate monitors, recover bookmarks, contancts, etc. etc. if I don't have to, so I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks!

Resizing images within Mail not working in Snow Leopard

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on both my desktop (iMAC Quad Core) and my MacBook Pro. I'm now experiencing an issue when I attach images within the Mail application.
In the past, if I attached an image I could resize it by selecting the option at the lower right of the window and it would scale the image accordingly. Now if I select "large" it resizes the image as if I selected small. It's tiny, like 30KB. I tried it on both machines and I get the same thing.
This was never an issue before upgrading to Snow Leopard. In the past if I selected "large" it would scale my image down to roughly 4X6 300dpi.
Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
Thanks so much!
Michael

Hi Terence,
thanks for your reply.
But i have now a Problem!
iPhoto 09 itself can send max. 10 pics in one mail. When i drag & drop more photos to mail as attachement, mail can´t resize photos with greater than 150dpi correctly.
I have many photos greater than 150 dpi
With new iPhoto 09 i can not send:
1. more than 10 photos
2. without "zipping"
with mail i can send more than 10 photos at one time but i cant resize these images!
Allso whe i use this way:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2627690&tstart=0
The only way to send more than 10 photos with resizing the images is:
1. export these photos from iphoto to a folder with resizing function
2. drag or attach these photos to a mail
3. send mail
4. delete the created folder with images
5. empty trash
iPhoto 8 can send many photos at one time including resizing and display the estimated size of mail (e.g. Megabytes).
