How can I make a photo Christmas card in Mail?

I want to send a Christmas card that includes a family photo. I've tried online services in the past, but they charge quite a bit for good cards. One place I like (good templates, easy to use) charges 3.99/mo or $48.00 a year.
It's easy to import a photo into a Mail message. What I can't figure out is how to format it so that the message will appear to the right or left of it, the way you can format around an image in Word for example.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Giles

  • How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
    The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image.  You have a few choices about how to change it:
    One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference.  This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image.  This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
    Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on).  This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
    Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8.  This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width.  Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

    Photostream is not a substitute for importing your photos to your computer.

  • How can I make a photo look like it's on a 3D Box Canvas?

    Hi,
    I have been scratching my head trying to figure out a way to make a photo look like it's wrapped around a wooden frame, like on a box canvas. I'm not concerned with the canvas texture, I just want to know how I can apply an effect or an action to a single image to give it depth. Any ideas?
    Ross

    the one i posted was a psd file using a smart object. Double click the smart object it then opens a new file, you add the photo you need, as you from the example that image is wide screen, my photo wasn't, so you use the 2nd file to make the photo fit how you want, then save and it then alters the original file, hence smart object. The background too was one, hence the perspective.
    The splicing etc is ok , as you say if you have an odd one to do.
    So essentially you make up the smart object once and then reuse. As you woudl need to make the canvas / canvas's into several templates for your liking, be it square / portrait / landscape or even spread over several canvases
    The example i showed here is an illusion, but a pretty good one, It NOT 3d. Its done with shadows, this is the smart object.
    as you see its just a perspective rectangle with the top and bottom left cropped off for the depth.
    these are the psd layers as you see there are only 5, its not an action, but googling i did see an action, i think it was $35. But as i said bear in mind the amount of possible boaard canvases you may want.
    2 of the other layers as you see are for the lighting and the top one is the 3d illusion effect, this particular one has the canvas effect too. I can't remember where i got this one from. I think graphic river do 3d canvas though, there will be others.
    Another thing to consider if using an action is if it can do multiple boards. like ...
    again just to show you before the illusion
    Pretty much example like the emboss effect you can use, all done with lighting and darkness.

  • How can I make a photo fit my iPhone 6 as wallpaper?

    I have an iPhone 6, and would like to set a photo as wallpaper, but no matter how I crop and try to resize it, it does not fit and an edge is cut off. 
    Any tips on how to make a photo fit?  I did not have this problem with my previous iPhone 4s.

    The easiest way is to select the photo you want to use.  Then edit it (crop, enlarge, move left/right/up/down) then when you are happy with it - take a screen shot (tap sleep/wake button at same time tapping Home button).  Use this saved image as your wallpaper.

  • How can I make my photos on my icloud stream on my pc show up in my iphone ?

  • How can I make a photo cd that is compatible for windows users?

    I need to make a photo cd from my iphoto library that will be compatible with Windows computers.  In my older iphoto program on my iBook G4 that was not a problem.  In iphoto '11, I get a message saying I need to follow some other instructions for cds for windows.  I'm having trouble with the alternative.  I must be missing something.  Is there a simple explanation?  Or will this always be a chore with the new program?
    Thanks for any help,
    Sheila

    Select the photos in iPhoto, export them to a desktop folder - see the user tip on exporting for details on the export options - and using the finder burn that folder to Disk

  • How can I make Thunderbird be my default e-mail progrm?

    Mac Mail does not work well with my satellite system and Internet Service Provider. Thunderbird works much better. However, iPhoto does not recognize Thunderbird. The only two choices it gives me are Mac Mail and Entourage. How can I add Thunderbird as a choice or make Thunderbird my default. I have thrown away Mac Mail and still neither iPhoto nor some important websites I deal with will recognize Thunderbird. There doesn't seem to be any setting in Thunderbird which will make it the default e-mail program.
    Thanks

    It's normally done in Mail's General preferences. But since you trashed it, use this freeware instead.

  • How can i make a new map on my mail? The way apple has in the manual doesn't work!

    I want to make a new map for my mails, but the way tha apple gives in the manual doesn't work!

    If you mean other folders then you need to create them in your email client e.g. in a browser (which you can only do in IMAP accounts, not POP account) - you can't create new folders in the Mail app itself
