How to resize photos for email

I have a MacBookAir 10.9 OS 0 in IPhoto...how can I resize any photo to send by email?
Thanks

With a web site, do not post high resolution images as the primary view of your products, that makes your site slower to load on lesser broadband connections, and more expensive to view on wireless connections.
For a web site, use lower-resolution and smaller images for the primary view, and use a web content management system that allows for (for instance) clicking on a photo to view a higher-resolution image, and/or a content management system that allows the user to access a higher-resolution gallery of images.
Default display of and mailing of larger and higher-resolution images chews up potentially very expensive data for folks on wireless connections, and usually won't be popular with mass-mailings.   Lower-resolution and smaller and even thumbnails with web links to higher-resolution images — which can incidentally also include tracker URLs, even in HTML-based mail — will consume less of the mobile recipient's cash, and will load and view much faster, or will load.  (On iOS, large messages will give the user the option to download the rest of a larger message, which means that most of your mail often won't even get viewed.) 
Slow loads and large images can result in web connections get abandoned and mailing list clients drop off lists, too.  Thumbnails and text and simple HTML are better.
As for "a good size", run some of your own tests on lower-performing network links, and see how well your content management system and your mail works in these situations — you're probably not aiming for customers on dial-up though I still deal with folks that only have that available — but you're definitely not going to want to assume ginormous network bandwidth with your marketing.  One megabit per second (1 Mbps) "broadband" links — and slower — are still very common, after all.  Also test your HTML with a few different clients, as there are various differences in how (or how well) HTML is rendered in various mail programs — some HTML mail looks like junk in some common clients.
All of this stuff is fairly typical fodder for web and email marketing discussions, and not at all specific to OS X.

  • How to resize photos for web pages

    Can photos be resized within iPhoto to be used on a web site?  If not what is the best program to do this to keep good quality photos but have a fast reloading time.

    I need to edit photos for print and then create a second version for the web.
    You can resize photos as you export from iPhoto - use a custom size and set what you need and upload the exported photos
    This is how you do that - you can not "resize" within iPhoto - you resize (and make another copy) when you export.
    As to your saving photos form PS into the iPhoto library and wondering why it does not work - it is becaus you must NEVER make any changes of any sor tto the structure or content of the iPhoto library using any program other than iPhoto - saving a photo into the iPhoto libray is not supported and will not work - you set PS as the external editor and when you finish editing you save and iPhoto handles the new image

  • Resize photos for email

    Is there anyway to resize a photo before emailing it? I don't see any options in the Photo app that comes on the iPad and the photos from my digital camera are 12MB RAW files. They are apparently converted to JPEGs before emailing but the files are still too large.
    I was previously recommended to ePhoto, but that program never completes the process and when I wrote to the developer about the problem, I was told that ePhoto does not work properly with the iPad at this point.
    Any suggestions aside from waiting until I have access to a computer?
    Thanks

  • Adobe photoshop elements 13 to resize photos for email

    Can I use elements 13 to resize email photos so they are not to large to send

    Yes.
    Editor>Expert tab>File menu>Save for web.
    In the dialog that comes up, make the long side about 800 px. The short side will fill in automatically
    Check "Constrain Proportions"
    Select JPEG for file format.
    Make the destination folder different from the source folder so as not to overwrite the originals.
    Apply.

  • How to resize photos for retina display to avoid pixelation?

    My original image file looks fine but after scaling down, it looks pixelated. However, it looks fine on non-retina display. Why is this so and how do I solve it?
    Would appreciate your help!

    Can you give us more details about the size/resolution of the photo before and after scaling it down?

  • How to send photos as email attachments???

    This is a ridiculously easy and simple question but I'm a mac newbie and can't figure out how to send photos as email attachments, not embed them in the body of the email. Every time I go to send a picture or group of pictures from i-photo an email message opens....the pictures are embedded in the body of the email and that's how they appear to receipients. In a test, I've sent them to a PC...the message comes through just fine but the photos don't have separate attachments that I can click on and "save as." they come through as bitmap files. Any ideas? THANK YOU.

    It will not ALWAYS fix the problem that this topic is about; I had my Mail preferences set to send as Plain Text and it did not fix the problem. Additionally, since there is NOT an option in Iphoto as you previously noted, it might be confusing to some people.
    However, for those of you who have the same problem, there seems to be a solution that worked for me. I also had the problem that Mail was overriding my sizing preference when I selected them in Iphoto (share > email) and always sending them as small instead of medium as I preferred.
    Since it seems that sometimes Mail does not deploy the plain text default so you need to kick start it to remember. This is how I did it....
    - Select the photos you want and hit SHARE > EMAIL in Iphoto
    - Now, in Mail click on the photo browser button
    - Find another photo in Iphoto via the browser and drag and drop it into the email that you're composing
    - You'll see a size option appear in the bottom right hand corner
    - Playing around with the sizing option a few times kicked it into gear and it seems to be working better since then
    I hope that helps anyone who has had the same problem.

  • Resize photos for online use

    I have been trying all afternoon to resize photos for online use and can not follow directions given.  I know it must be simple but I am stumped.  I would like to speak to a real person and I'm sure my problem will be solved in less than five minutes.  PLEASE do not tell me to follow guidelines; I have tried that.
    Kay Wilhelm

    Hi Kay,
    As an example, let's say we're trying to prepare this 1000x664 pixel, 1MB image for online posting. 
    If the website you're posting to is giving you a maximum dimension, for example that the image has to be 600 pixels across or less, then follow these 4 steps:
    1. Go to File -> Save for Web
    2. In the Save for Web panel, look for the Image Size boxes. 
    3. Enter the desired dimension.  For example, if the website you're trying to upload to requires that images be 600 pixels across, enter 600 in the Width box.  The height should recalculate automatically. 
    4. Hit the Save button.  You will now have an image saved to the required pixel dimensions!
    If the requirement is for a maximum file size, rather than specific file dimensions, you would follow a different procedure.  If we were trying to resize the same 1000x664 pixel, 1MB image to a size of 100KB or less, we would follow these steps:
    1. Go to File -> Save for Web
    2. In the upper right hand corner of the Save for Web panel, make sure the format is set to JPEG.  Our original image was a PNG, which tends to have a larger file size.  JPEG images tend to have a smaller file size.
    3. In the Save for Web panel, look for the projected size of the file as saved with the current settings.  This is below the lower left hand corner of the image.  In this case, it is 170KB, which is higher than our desired maximum size of 100KB.  
    3.  The easiest way to control the file size at a given pixel dimension is by reducing the image quality.  The controls for image quality are in the upper right hand corner of the Save for Web panel.  The default setting for JPEG exports is 60%. 
    4.  You will need to determine how far you want to reduce the image quality in your particular case.  In this example, we can reduce the quality from 60% to 40% without affecting the visible image quality too much.  Setting the quality to 40% reduces the image size to 99KB, which is below our maximum of 100KB.
    5. When you are satisfied with the quality settings, press Save to save your image. 
    Hope this helps!

    I'm using iphoto 4.03. recently, when i try to email selected photos, iphoto quits during the "preparing photos for email" step. i've never had this problem before. any ideas???

    Try manually setting the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder and contents as follows:
    Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
    1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
    2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
    3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.

  • Can Someone please tell me how to save movie for email & web?

    Can Someone please tell me how to save movie for email & web? I have created a few small videos, (last one was only 3 minutes), and I have tried to save them many different ways, but when I try to send them via email, it takes forever to send and for others to open.
    People send me video links all the time, and they never take that long. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help.
    Sharona

    People send me video links all the time, and they never take that long...
    Karl is (aside many other things) expert on how-tos and codecs, but one more thing...:
    video link:
    you have two options for sharing video with the world: you can send the whole file to someone - as an xx MB attachement to a mail...; or, you load up the video to some website (.mac, youtube, whatever...) and send just the link x kB to that site...
    asymmetric:
    normal "internet accounts" are asymmetrically (A-DSL)... means: you have FAST downloads, but SLOW uploads.... (my socalled 2k-DSL connections offers downloads 20x faster then my uploads, just to give you an impression...)
    so, uploading my videos to my website needs easy >30min for a letssay highly compressed 2min project.... the link to it is just >1kB; the download/watching of the movie is almost instant on/realtime....
    now, back to Karl, concerning choosing the right codec/compressor... Karl?
    i DO love these phrases in news-shows...

  • How to resize photos in iPhoto?

    Hi
    I can seem to figure out how to resize my photos so I can send them via email or just make them smaller in general. Any suggestions?

    What is your email client? If you use Mail, Eudora, Entourage or AOL then just select the photo you want to email and click on the Mail button. You'll be presented with a menu to choose the size of the file to attach to the email.
    If you are using a web based email you'll have to export the files to the Desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu option where you'll be able to set the file size and quality level of the files.
    See TD's treatis on file access on ways to access the photos for use outside of iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?

  • Reduce photos for emailing

    How could one reduce the photo size taken with the  new iPad camera for emailing as the photo is quite big in size. I have seen many similar questions and answers before posting this but none of them helped. Do you need a third party app?
    using iOS is 5.1.1
    thanks

    Hi SSJ110,
    Actually, I think the ability to reduce emailed images is a function of image size, not the source.  If I have a large image from a different camera or even the Internet, I get the resize options.  If the picture is small, even from the iPad (like some screen shots), I don't get the resize options.
    Although I haven't narrowed it down totally, a file as small as 426 KB gave me the resize options (although Large and Medium were still 426 KB, Small was 39 KB, so it seems that is close to the line.)

  • How to manage Photos for business

    Hi there
    I have this wonderful IPAD thanks to Apple so I had a crucial question as the main use of my IPAD is for business.
    I load photos in Iphoto the traditional way, these photos are from my business and required to show clients, the product name is the file name. So many clients that I deal with have the option of picking and ordering from the photo itself.
    So a few questions I have....
    1. How do I make it so I can see the file name so when the client picks the product from the photo, I can write the product number / name from the File name itself.
    2 On top of this what would be equally beneficial is to chose or mark certain photos that the client chooses. IE - drawing or marking that photo with a your hand/stylus or starring it some how so you can later categorize it to a folder or something which in turn I can do multiple things once I am back at the hotel room like copy and pasting the photos into email to send of to order or writing the names down into the order sheet of the selected photos.
    3 - Any other tips and suggestions on with this issue.
    Thank you in advance,
    Jainesh
    P.S - Most of the places I go don't have wireless internet connections so copying them to drop box or internet sites is out of the question.

    Hi. I'm looking for something similar. I'm an interior designer and I want to create folders of photos for clients that I can show them at meetings. This is the main reason I bought the iPad -- thought I'd save on toner by not having to print everything out! -- and I'm frustrated, to say the least. Ideally, I could organize folders within folders, too. I want to be able to drag and drop photos from the internet, from iPhoto, etc.

    iOS 7: How to reduce screen motion
    You can reduce screen motion in iOS 7. iOS 7 uses a parallax effect to create the perception of depth on your Home screen and elsewhere.
    To reduce the effect, you can turn on Reduce Motion in Settings > General > Accessibility. When you turn on Reduce Motion, Home screen transitions will fade instead of zoom.
    When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
    Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
    When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
    If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.
    To learn more about iOS 7, refer to the user manual.

  • How can I search for email senders and/or email subject(s)?

    I'm probably not savvy enough to figure this out. When I search, e.g. for "Katie" I get to look at several messages where she is cc'd. I also receive messages from "Katie." How do I search for them? I know they are there because I just sent one to trash the other day. I suspect there are a number of them in trash. The only way I seem to be able to access them is to scroll...and that's a bummer.

    Hello.
    *You can click in the search field in the ThunderBird toolbar.
    *Type the words you are looking for such as email the email address
    *Hit enter or select an auto completion choice
    To narrow search results:
    *Click any year, month or day to show only results from that time. Click the looking glass to zoom out.
    *If you cannot see the timeline, click the timeline icon in the top right corner.
    *Hover over any filter, person, folder, tag, account or mailing list in the left pane to see where in time and on the timeline the messages matching the filter are located.
    To exclude persons, folders or other criteria from search results:
    *Click the unwanted person, tag, etc..
    *Select can't be… from the menu that comes up.
    To reduce results to a particular contact, account or other criterion:
    *Click the desired person, folder, etc..
    *Select must be… from the menu that comes up.
    To filter your search results:
    *Check From Me to see only messages sent from one of your email addresses.
    *Check To Me that include you as a recipient.
    *Check Starred to see only starred messages.
    *Check Attachments to see only messages that include attached files.
    To open any message, click its subject line in search results. To act on multiple messages or see more details, click Open as list at the top of the results list.
