Image size "pop-up" in email misfunctions

I listed this question initially under the "imac" section but got no response. I have been importing photos into my emails from the desktop using the right click "share>email" option. Up until a few days ago this worked very well. Now I find the Small, Medium and Large options in the pop-up menu just give me a 10KB thumbnail. "Acutal size" will give me the full 5MB file size. I have inadvertently changed something but having ferreted around I can not find a way to change it back. I use this system all the time and I really need to fix it, so would appreciate any help. Cheers, jp

My apologies. I have discovered that the issue is not Apple related but caused by a new RAW converter I'm trying. Cheers, jp

Image size pop up menu missing in mail 6.2 (1499) window

When I attach a photo to a new email the image size pop up menu is missing and I can not resize, any idea how to fix this?
Thanks guys.

I had this problem and it was related to a Mail plugin (Daylite DMA).

Image Size pop up menu missing in Mac Mail

Hi all,
I've just noticed a very frustrating problem with my mac mail which seems to have started recently, for no apparent reason. I have made no updates to my mac mail at all.
Basically when I attach and image to a new email, there used to be a pop up menu appear in the bottom right of the window where you can select the size of the image - small, medium, large or actual size.
This has randomly disappeared!
I cannot find any settings in the preferences for it to reappear. I have made no changes that would have caused this - at least not knowingly.
Any ideas as to how I can get the image size pop up menu to reappear when I am attaching images to a new email?

Well, it seems I have solved the problem. After searching all afternoon for a solution i thought i'd try the last thing on the list - quit mac mail and re open.
It worked!
The Image Size pop up menu now appears again when images are attached to the email.
Despite this, id still like to know what I did to remove it.
Any idea?

Image size pop-up menu no longer an option

"Reduce the size of the attached images by choosing Small, Medium, or Large from the Image Size pop-up menu at the bottom of the message window. The menu appears when you drag or attach a picture to the message."
I used to have this option. I just noticed it isn't there anymore. Tried deleting the mail preference file, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
clint

Nevermind, I just figured it out. My screen capturing widget saves files as .jpeg instead of .jpg. And Mail didn't like that.

Image size pop up menu missing in mail window

Tonight I was about to resize an attachment (a photo) in the Mail message window, but discovered that the image size pop up menu that used to appear at the bottom of the mail window is no longer there! I tried quitting Mail and launching it again, restarted the computer (a 2003 iMac G4 running Tiger), and repaired permissions. Any ideas on how I might get the image size pop up menu back again? Thanks.

Seems there must be something messed up on the HD.
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The important part is to Repair the Disk before Repairing Permissions.

Image Size Pop-up Missing

The pop-up menu for changing the size of attachments at the bottom right hand corner of a new message is missing.
How do I get that pop-up menu back?

I am not sure of what you are inquiring about. Are you trying to include a photo from your library or some other type of attachment, like a .pdf or .doc?
If you are trying to include an attachment, then I do not believe you can change that within Mail.
You would have to reformat that kind of attachment outside of Mail to make a correction to its file size.
But if it is a photo from the media folder, those you can change and the drop down option menu should show up at the bottom of the outgoing mail window once you drag that image to the outgoing mail box.
I hope that helps.

No image size pop-up window in Mail 2.1

I'm accustomed to seeing a pop-up window at the bottom of my mail, giving me the option of resizing a photo, and telling me how large my message is. Today it's not there. This is probably something easy that I've unclicked, but I can't find it. Oh, it's Mail 2.1, on an eMac running 10.4.8.

Open a document, image size and script alert window pop up

Everytime I open a document in Photoshop CS5, these 2 dialog boxes (Image Size, Script Alert) would pop up. I would need to cancel 2 times to start editing. Is there a setting I can disable this?
Thanks,

Sound the likely candidate to me, too.
wfzen, could you post a screenshot of the Script Events Manager window?

Email-to facilitate emailing a photo by gmail or AOL, I reduce the file size. Is it better to reduce the image size or increase the jpg compression?

To facilitate emailing a photo by gmail or AOL and avoid overwhelming the recipient's screen, I reduce the file size. Is it better to reduce the image size or increase the jpg compression? I have been making a duplicate image of 35 MB and reducing the image size to 8"x12" at 72 resolution giving a file size of 1.4 MB. Then I SAVE AS a jpg of medium compression giving a file size of about 111 KB. Overkill?

Go to File>save for web.
I usually make the long side 800 px
At the bottom of the dialog, check "constrain proportions."
At the top, select JPEG in the dropdown for the file format.
All the work is done for you! 72px/in is ok for web work. 240-300px/in is the recommended range for printing.

Photoshop CC 2014 Screws Up Image Size

Every time I open a document in Photoshop CC 2014, the size of the canvas is basically half its real image size. I took a video of my screen so that you can understand what is happening to me and hopefully figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I make an image that is 800x300 pixels at 72 ppi
The image opens up looking half the size (about 400x150 pixels).
I make a text box with a font at 12 pt, and it comes out tiny.
I enlarge the font, type "Testing 1 2 3," and then export the image as a PNG file.
The PNG file comes out as 800x300 pixels, but the text is pixelated.
What in the world am I doing wrong? Never, in all my years of using Photoshop, had I encountered such a problem before now.
Notice at the bottom of the screen that the canvas is at 100% the entire time.

You post so little useful information. You video show you using a mac the the video setting look like 1080 yet the video does no fill my 1920 width but does fill the 1080 height. Your Mac launch icon look huge so you your 800x300 canvas looks small on you desktop so I'm guessing retina display with lots of pixels 4:3 aspect ratio. The ping posted here look bad because of the way this site scale images. if you open it in a new tab it looks great even when I click on it thus site html pop-up image display of the png looks good. I see no pixelation and the edges look sharp ans smooth.

This is about the still image size changing from what I see on the computer monitor and what the burned DVD shows on the TV

I have Prem.El 12 and have used PE4 for years. I have a new PC that runs Win7Pro. The still images on the computer monitor are within the "safe margins". The still images after the movie has been burned to a disk are MUCH smaller on the TV screen. Is this an issue of 16:9 vs 4:3 ratios? My TV is 4:3. Can I tell PE12 to make the movie a 4:3?

retchemteach
Although I have seen your post of today in my Inbox Email Notifications, that post has not yet appears in this thread. It will probably will sooner or later. But, to keep things moving along....this is a copy of what I am seeing as your message of today in my Indox Email Notifications
Thank you for your patience in the time it is taking me to get back to you.
I am still trying to buy some DVD-RW discs and will hopefully do that in a
bit. Meanwhile, I have more info for you and some simple (I hope)
questions. If you want to insert your answers, that would be fine.
My camera (for stills and video) is set to the 4:3 ratio. It is capable of
being set to a 16:9 ratio if I wanted to do that. I looked in its TOOLS
menu and saw this info.
My TV is definitely a 4:3 TV. (I measured it with my tape measure and
divided W/L to get 1.33) The TV can show a 16:9 movie and just adds the
black bars on the top and bottom. Question: What will my old 4:3 movies
look like on a 16:9 TV whenever we buy one of those?
It seems to me that I want to set PE12 to the NTSC DV Standard you
mentioned.
I do NOT know how to “size your photos so that each has a 4:3 aspect”,
unless you mean doing that in Photoshop Elements, which I know how to do
(*see below)
I had NOT considered that I would need to watch the preset for the
‘Publish+Share’ step; so that’s good to know (I copied and pasted your info
for later use).
BTW, years ago when I had difficulties with my XP computer working on PE4
(had only 2 GB RAM), an Adobe tech told me to resize my photos * to have a
720 pixel width (the height would be automatically adjusted) to lower the
file size to something my computer could handle without crashing. (That
was back in the good ol’ days when Adobe support would actually talk with
their customers and try to help them in the first month)
My new computer has 16GB RAM. Do you think I still need to reduce file
size? One does lose some sharpness in the resizing process…..however,
these videos I’m making are travelogues and are for a fun way to view pics
and videos of a trip…nothing Earth shattering….and just a hobby to keep me
off the streets.
I truly appreciate the time you take to help me (and others). I was even
tempted to try to install my old PE4 on my new computer just to be able to
enjoy my hobby again.
My reply to the above....
1. If you camera is giving you 4:3 photos and your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then leave
the photos as is unless you have a lot of photos and each has pixel dimensions sizes way over 1920 x 1080 pixels that are giving your computer resource issues. If you have to down size them because of computer resources, then copy the photos to a computer desktop folder and also create an empty folder on the computer desktop.
a. Photoshop Elements Editor, File Menu/Process Multiple Files.
Process Files form Folder
Source - browse to and select the computer desktop folder with photos to be resized
Destination - browse to and select the empty computer desktop folder
Image Size
             Check Mark Next To Resize Images
            (no check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
            Type in Width = 1000 (set units for pixels)
            Type in Height = 750 (set unites for pixels)
File Size
           Check Mark Next to Convert Files To
           Set for JPEG High Quality
The above should work fine for a NTSC DV Standard project with a burn to DVD disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD (4:3 video).
2. With regard to the TV Set and 16:9 video....when you have the DVD-player attached to the TV, do you have the opportunity to bring up a display of menus with
controls for Picture and Aspect Ratio? From what you have written so far, it looks like the answer is no. I am not sure how your TV DVD
player will handle 16:9.
Best do a mini test run
1. Project preset set manually to NTSC DV Widescreen (please refer to post 1 link)
A few photos sized for 1600 x 1200
In the Premiere Elements project, use the Safety Margins inner rectangle for text placement
Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
See what that looks like on your TV DVD player.
If you discovered that your current TV DVD player can be set for a 16:9 display, then I have a preferred workflow for
NTSC DV Widescreen which typically gives best possible results. Hints of things to come.
Please review and consider. Thanks for the follow ups.

Photo image size after file transfer much smaller

I am transfering photos over to my wife's Macbook and after the transfer, the photos are of a much smaller file size. Is there a way to transfer the photos at their full image size?

Dragging and dropping to a web-based email (gmail) makes the photo appear inside the message itself, and not as an attachment, which is what I wanted.

Photo booth image size after lion upgrade

While in Snow Leopard, whenever I take a photo using Photo Booth and drag and drop it onto an email message in a web browser, it pastes a smaller (approx 60-70kb) size of the image.
With Lion, whenever I do this it pastes a bigger image (around 150-200kb). My current internet connection is a bit crappy and it takes a wee bit of a while to upload.
I know that I can use Mail and specify what image size should be sent, but I don't use Mail
Is it possible to revert to the old image size for Photo Booth?

No "image size" option from pictures taken with front camera?

When e-mailing a picture taken with the rear camera, I am prompted to choose an "image size." However, this option does not come up for any photo taken with the front camera.
Is this a bug or how it is supposed to function, or am I doing something wrong?
"Prompt for email image resize" is enabled in Hub and under Display and Actions for every e-mail account. I have 10.3.1.841 on the Classic.

I understand what you are trying to say, however I'm not sure you understand what others have been trying to tell you.
Yes, the iPhone comes with a camera, and it comes with a standard camera application. This is a resident Apple application. You downloaded a new camera "application", not a new camera. This is a 3rd party application that uses the installed camera to operate. When trying to use Facebook, another 3rd party application, and you want to take a picture, it uses the Apple camera interface, because it cannot interact with another 3rd party application. In other words, as many have said, two third party applications cannot run together, or interact together, i.e. Facebook and your camera application.
Does that make sense now? While you can use the downloaded application to take pictures versus the Apple camera application, you cannot change the API for another application to use another 3rd party application for a task. I hopw this explanation works for you.

Snow Leopard, iPhoto, Mail - loss of image size option when mailing photos

I just installed Snow Leopard on both my laptop and my desktop. Now I have lost one of the size options when I email images directly from iPhoto. This is a big problem for me, as I have the need to send photos out to colleagues for their review several times per week. Before the new OS, I could choose (from within iPhoto or from within Mail) from these options: small, medium, large, and full-size. "Large" was the choice that almost always worked best for me. Now an image is medium-sized no matter whether you choose medium or large. Small and full-size still work.
If I add images to a mail using the photo browser in Mail (which is less convenient for me anyway), then I lose the titles and descriptions I have added to those images in iPhoto. Not good.
Is there a setting I can change, or is this a bug, or what?
Help.
Marion

Ernie,
It's not the the image size buttons are not available. They are. It's that they don't work correctly. From within iPhoto: choosing "small" gives me a small image; choosing "medium" gives me a medium image; choosing "large" also gives me a medium image; choosing "full" gives me a full-size image. So, there are four buttons, but only three sizes. I need large, and it's the one that's not working.
I am currently experimenting with your export-attach suggestion, and the results are very messy indeed as well as inconsistent. If I export an image as .jpeg and as full-size, and then attach them to a mail, the first problem is that I lose all the titles and descriptions, even though I have chosen to export them. In the past, all the images lined up neatly in the body of the message with titles underneath each one; now the images are all "stuck together" and you must mouse over to get the title info. Thus you can see this info for only one image at a time - inconvenient for my colleagues.
The second problem is that, the size option buttons work for some images and not for others. I tried attaching three files of different sizes: 2.7MB, 5.2MB, and 6.2MB. All four size buttons work for the two larger files, but, once again "medium" and "large" choices both result in the same size image, "medium."
Even if the export-attach option worked correctly, it would involve many more steps and much more time than my former method of sending direct from iPhoto.
I have not upgraded to iLife9. Perhaps the problem has been corrected in it. I was holding out for iLife10, but might go ahead with 9 if I could be assured it would work. This is really a huge problem for me.
Thanks,
Marion
