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.

Sending photos as eMail attachments

I use a PC and have Adobe Premier Elements 9 - I am having trouble sending photos as eMail attachments. I am totally lost. This should not be this difficult. Help!

Robert
No problem. Glad you asked. Gave me a chance to check up on what is going on with my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and its Elements Organizer 9.
I was ready to call it a day when the email from Adobe with the verification code arrived in my regular gmail email INBOX. So a gmail address should work.
Please go through the steps already mentioned in post 3 and wait for the email to arrived. It took about 1/2 hour in my case.
When the email arrives copy the verification code in the email.
Open the Elements Organizer and go to Share/E-Mail Attachment or Photo Mail. Go through the paces of setting up the email for sending in this area.
Before you get to the end where there is the email with a Send button ready for you to hit, there will be a pop up asking for the verification code.
Paste the verification code (from the email that you just received) in the verification field of the pop up. Click OK, and move forward in sending
the email by pressing the Send button in the completed email with attachments.
Later you might also want to experiment with Elements Organizer 9 Share/Photo Mail.
I had problems with my Contact Book for this task. But, if you have problems with the Contact Book, please let me know. If that happens,
we can keep away from the Contact Book icon and type in the recipient email address immediately before hitting the Send button for the email.
Looking forward to your results. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

Sending Photos as email attachments, Elements 8, Mac version

Re use of Elements 10, Mac Version. I can't send photo attachments thru the "sharing" link in the Organizer, becasue I can't enter the contact. When I click to edit contacts, it brings up a dialogue box, asking for my password. I enter the password and then another box comes up "signing in." But it never opens anything.

How do we send photos by email in Photoshop Elements 13?

Hi Gordon,
It is not a good idea to post live email addresses in replies as this is a public forum and somebody might harvest the addresses for scamming.
For clarification, I will go through the preferences that you should have set up.
Go to Edit -> Preferences - Email
Click on the New button
Give it a Profile Name like MyGmail, select Gmail from the drop down list of service providers and then click on OK
Enter your Email address - this is the account to send the photos from not who you are sending them to. The address should be in the format [email protected]
Enter your name
Enter the password for the email account you gave in 4 above
Click on Validate - It should come back and say credentials validated successfully - if not check your settings.
Click on OK and close the preferences.
Now try sending a photo.

TS2451 how to send photo as attachment and not embedded in the email content

Is there any way that I can send photo as email attachment instead of it appearing in the email content.

Actually it has to do with the receiver and their email client. Certain email clients will show it as an attachment, some as imbedded.

Unable to send PDFs as email attachments

I have become unable to send PDFs as email attachments when using Firefox.
Depending on the PDF, I either get the message “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” or it opens as a blank document. This occus when opening the file with both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro. The problem seems to be isolated to PDFs. (I am able to send Word files. If a PDF is zipped before attaching, it can be opened without problem.) This occurs on both an institutional email account and personal (Yahoo) email account. This problem is isolated to Firefox (does not happen in Chrome).
I have reset Firefox to default settings, as well as reinstalling.
Thank you.

Update Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 10.1.13 to version 11.
Also please update all of your plugins and try again.
Does this happen when you open the pdf in pdf.js, it is possible to change the default viewer by:

Unable to send photos by email or message

Hi,
Ok, adding your email address to my contact list didn't change anything.
The good news is that your email from your gmail account did get through. It was marked as junk mail but when I declared it safe, the photo appeared.
I looked into the message content for the ones that didn't work and I think the photo is actually still part of the data. It is as though the message header has been corrupted somehow. Since it happens with your service provider but not mine, it suggests that your service provider is perhaps corrupting the header.
I'm not sure how we can get this resolved as the fault could be with Adobe, your service provider or other service providers.
I think the workaround of using your gmail account is probably the best way to go.
You do get a lot of snow there. I live in the UK on the south coast near Southampton. All I have seen is a very light dusting of snow and that quickly disappeared. There were a few local accidents due to the icy conditions. I supposed that the snow is part of your life there - for us it is an exception and so we are not prepared for it.

Problem sending photos by Email. Received a response from T. Devlin. Did not solve problem. I had already done what he suggested.

I had already entered my Email info under preferences.
The screen comes up with the photos I want to send.
I type my message and hit Send. The blue bar appears "Sending".
However, don't know where the photos go, they don't reach destination.
I tried sending to myself at another Email address - they didn't arrive, and they are not shown under Sent Emails either.
How to resolve?
Tried to respond to T. Devlin - but that didn't happen either. Just a Like symbol was there (as in Facebook).

You are referring to this discussion, right?

Which MacOS X version are you using and which iPhoto version?
If you are using Yosemite and have enabled up two-step verification for iCloud? Then you may need to create an application specific password for iPhoto.
