How do I get iPhoto to email an original jpeg picture

I have a picture which takes up 2.5 MB of space when I look at it in the folder.
In iPhoto, I click on Share - > Email, and in that section I choose the option to include the "Original File," as opposed to the optimized file, as an attachment. Still, when the email sends, the attached file is about 600kb.
Am I doing something wrong, or is iPhoto doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Hey, that worked great!
Thanks for your help.
I don't know why the native email option does not let you send the complete file size, but I am glad there is an easy way to do it.
Thanks LN.

  • How do I get iPhoto to recognize a scanned jpeg?

    I am trying to scan old photographs from books, and put them into iPhoto. Eventually all the photos will be used in an iMovie project. I am having trouble getting iPhoto to recognize the format of the scanned picture.  When I try to import the jpeg file, iPhoto says it cannot recognize the format.  Any suggestions?

    As a text try this:
    go to Toad's Cellar and download the Automator workflow applicaton "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile".
    unzip the application on the Desktop.
    drop a copy of one of your scanned photos onto the Automator workflow application.
    import the resulting converted  image file into iPhoto.
    If the above lets you import the image file into your library you can process the remaining files and import them.

  • How do I get iPhoto to not copy photos into its own folder, read originals?

    I was wondering how you could get iPhoto 6 to 'read' photos from it's original file.
    I normally keep my photos in their own folder, separate from the iPhoto file. Now I kind of want to have them all organized nicely in the iPhoto file so I don't have duplicates floating around. I wiped the iPhoto Library (they were duplicates) and as I import them, they copy right back into an 'iPhoto Library' file. I want them to stay in my own folder 'My Photos'.
    Is this possible? =S

    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.*
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, *I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.*
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.

  • How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    Who is the email account provider?
    With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
    I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

  • When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

    When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?
    I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
    Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left.  Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

    I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?
    Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
    Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?

  • HT5129 how do i get iPhoto to stop bothering me with Mobile Me Migration windows when everything's already on my hard drive?

    how do i get iPhoto to stop bothering me with Mobile Me Migration windows when everything's already on my hard drive?

    Click "More Info", not "o.k.".
    Then open the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab and remove the "Mobile  Me" account, if it is still there.
    Quit iPhoto.
    Check, if "Mobile Me" is still enabled in the System Preferences > Mobile Me panel (if you still have this panel). if yes, sign out.
    Log off and on again.
    Test, if iPhoto still is bugging you to transfer your Mobile Me content. If yes, you need to delete your iPhoto Preferences from your User Library.
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    And also remove the file
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/mmsunset.plist
    from the Caches in the User Library - this file contain the end date of Mobile me.

  • How do I get Iphoto to ask me before merging events?

    iphoto used to ask me if I was sure that I wanted events merged. One day, I checked the box that says "Don't ask me again". I shouldn't have done that!!! Now my kids can mix and merge all my events - easily!!!
    How do I get iphoto to ask me before merging events?
    Thanks in advance for helping me!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • How do I get iPhoto to use my Mail address book and no Themes?

    How do I get iPhoto to stop themes and use mail to share my photos?
    I have corrected this on another system (iMac and MacAir) but do not remember how I did it.

    Make sure you have the latest version of iPhoto (v9.1.3). If you installed from a disk or it was already on a new Mac, then run software update. If you bought on the App Store check there for updates.
    Then check the General Pane of the Preferences

  • How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

    How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums?  I don't have any! I never did!!!  The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

    When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
    Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
    Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

    Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    According to this excerpt:
    To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
    which is at the bottom of this page:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
    I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?
