IPhoto to Mail resizing pictures

From iphoto I select for the four options small to actual size. It does not matter which size I chose Mail sends very small image. Why is Mail or iPhoto changing the size> I can only send small images. I have latest version of all software.

I figured it out. Mail changes iphoto to small, I had to resize using the button in lower right of Mail. An extra step that was not required before one of the last updates.

  • Resizing pictures in mail

    I recently upgraded to a macbook pro running mountain lion.
    On my old computer with tiger and Mail Version 2.1.3 I could resize picture attachments directly from the mail window. Can I do the same with Mail verion 6.2?

    Yes look at the right hand side of the new mail message

  • I tried to e-mail a picture from iPhoto..

    I tried to e-mail a picture from iPhoto, and when I click on the send button I get a message box asking for the password for my AOL e-mail address on smtp server "smtp.aol.com. I put in my AOL password, but that didn't work. What password are they asking for?

  • Mailing photos from iphoto through mail

    When I mail photos from iphoto through mail, it sends the picture at very low resolution regardless of the setting I choose (small, medium, large, actual). How can I send photos to others at viewing or even printing quality? Can I resize the pictures to my specifications as I used to be able to do on my PC? Through ACDSee I could resize to 50% which would be small enough to send quickly but still high enough quality for the recipients to view and even print. Thanks!

    After iPhoto has created a new Mail message have a look at the bottom right hand corner of the Mail Message window - there's another control there for sizing the pics... try play with that one to find the size you require.
    You can access your photos for sending in Mail too. In the New Mail Message Window there's an icon on the toolbar that will show you your iPhoto library.

  • How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail with the wrong address?

    How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail that was returned because of an error I made in the address?

    ImagineThat:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I would like to use iPhoto to see existing Picture folder without importing

    The following is a question for Aperture, as well.
    I have a huge Picture file (90G), and I do not want iPhoto to import that Picture folder thereby making a duplicate. I only want one Picture file, the existing system folder called Pictures. And I want iPhoto to "reference" those files. I have seen references to setting up iPhoto (and Aperture) to use photos in outside libraries. I have seen them called "referenced"
    But I can't find a specific instruction on how to set up iPhoto to do this. And I think it is crazy to have an iPhoto library of 90G, and an aperture library of 90g (already made that mistake, want to get rid of it), because that would give me three sets pf photos, with Pictures, and iPhoto and Aperture Libraries within Pictures (that's where the Aperture library is now). And the iPhoto library is there too, but is now empty. I do not want it to be filled. The User guide says Aperture (and by inference, iPhoto) can "link" to outside photos and create "referenced" libraries.
    That is what I want to do, because I do not want my files within iPhoto and Aperture, because they are too hard to handle for other purposes, like using Preview for a quick look, or using Photoshop for editing. Not to mention the waste of disk space created by 2 libraries and the Pictures folder. And the confusion over time about which Photo is the real one.
    Surely there is a better way, a way to have iPhoto (and Aperture) use the existing Picture folder in OSX (Snow Leopard).
    Can anyone help me here?
    Just tell me there is a way to do this, please.
    Hope someone can help.

    Your question is based on a false premise. It makes no sense to use iPhoto, Aperture and the Finder to manage the photos. The Finder isn't a photo manager. It's a file manager. If you can't grasp that distinction then you stick with the Finder. Both iPhoto and Aperture (and Lightroom, and Picasa) are Photo Managers. The entire point of these apps is to manage the photos without recourse to the files.
    If you use a Photo Manager then you don't use the Finder's Quicklook, you use the application's viewing and sharing features.
    Think of it this way: would you write your novel in Word, Pages, TextEdit and Nisus Writer at the same time? And also expect to be able to read it without launching your Word Processor?
    So, yes, this is crazy:
    And I think it is crazy to have an iPhoto library of 90G, and an aperture library of 90g (already made that mistake, want to get rid of it), because that would give me three sets pf photos, with Pictures, and iPhoto and Aperture Libraries within Pictures (that's where the Aperture library is now).
    Because you would not use all three options. iPhoto and Aperture do essentially the same job. If you've purchased Aperture then that's the one to use. It's the more powerful application.
    But regardless of which you choose, when you do you give up looking at the files in the Finder, you use the Photo Manager.
    , because I do not want my files within iPhoto and Aperture, because they are too hard to handle for other purposes, like using Preview for a quick look, or using Photoshop for editing.
    Both apps provide integration with Photoshop. Using Photoshop via the Finder and not via the app will cause you problems.
    None of these apps are like Photoshop. Photoshop is a layer based pixel editor. These other apps are Digital Asset Managers. It's not the same thing. Photoshop has no management capability at all.
    And the confusion over time about which Photo is the real one.
    Now you need to do some reading on Photo Managers. All of them use a Non-Destructive workflow. All of them preserve your original photos, The concept of the "real one" makes no sense when you have many possible versions based on a single master file.
    You've not grasped the key distinctions in managing digital photos. You're confusing photos with files, confusing the file manager with a photo manager and have given no consideration to Digital Asset Management. I would consider these issues before going any further.
    FWIW: using a referenced Library with iPhoto:
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    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.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    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.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
    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 Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    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. However, 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.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    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.
    Using iPhoto with Photoshop:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

  • I hate iPhoto '11 for emailing pictures

    Is there any way I can disable the email portion of iPhoto '11? Since I come from a blended family, I often send multiple sets of the same family pictures out using Mac mail. In the "old days" (before iPhoto '11) I could send a batch of pictures, find the message in my Sent mail, and reforward it to new people with a slightly changed message.
    I did research to find out where the heck my Sent message "lives", but I just realized another flaw with this new way of emailing: my messages won't auto-fill the "to" address in iPhoto so I basically have to retype every email address I use again one time, before it starts recognizing it.
    Huge flaw IMO! Hugely, I mean HUGELY inconvenient for someone like me who lives far from family and relies on email for sharing family events.
    Any way to disable or workaround would be great. The only other thing I can think of is to start from Mail where I already have everything I need, then attach pictures and root around in my iPhoto library folders until I somehow find the ones I want.

    In the iPhoto preferences (the "General" panel) you can set the mailer "Email photos using": iPhoto or Mail.app. If you set it to Mail.app, you can share the photos from iPhoto and send a mail, but it will be sent using the standard Mail.app. And y carbon copy should appear in the "Sent" folder. Also you can use the Mail statonary for decorative cards.
    But if you want to start from Mail, you can open iPhoto and drag the selected images to the Mail icon in the Dock. This will attach the photos to your mail, but let you select them using the iPhoto browser.

  • How do I include keywords when I "share" iPhotos via MAIL?

    How do I include keywords when I "share" iPhotos via MAIL?
    When I send the images, it doesn't include the keywords, which I use as a description. But when I email them via "Share" in the menu bar - none of the keywords come through in the email. I looked for a preference or something that will allow sending keywords, but don't see anything like that.
    Sometimes, you WANT the keywords to be included in the email (to be used as a description) but I cant
    I'm betting one of you gurus will know the answer! Latest versions of everything!
    Larry

    Hi Terence,
    Thank you for your answer. My first thought was, "great - I've tried dragging them to my desktop, but the keywords do't 'drag' with the picture." So you're suggestion to 'export' and selectinh the appropriate boxes would solve the issue.
    But it doesn't seem to!
    In iPhoto, under the photo I'm seeing the file number and the keywords under that. Good!
    But when I export as yu've suggested . . . still NO keywords (which I use as a title). Now, to your credit, if I "Command + i" the jpg image, I will see the keywords . . . but I'm looking to see the keywords under the picture in the email - just like it looks in iPhoto?
    Am I doing something wrong? Thanks very much.

  • Iphoto is automatically resizing all my pics

    after i edit my photos on iphoto, i like to post them on my blog, or send them to a friend. however, i've noticed that wherever i upload, and however i send them, they are automatically resized to a pretty small size. but when i view them on iphoto, they are at normal resolution and cover my entire screen. i don't have a problem with everything already being resized for me before i post online, that actually saves tons of time, but i was wondering where/how these settings can be adjusted so i can have larger resized pictures.

    There are a couple of places where you can set the image size when sharing your photographs. If you would like to email larger or even FULL-SIZE images, go through the normal process of emailing: 1) Select photos 2) Click Email button at bottom of window. When the dialog window comes up for email settings, there is a popup menu that allows you to pick three scaled sizes or actual size.
    Another option for exporting your photos is of course the Export function, which you get from the File menu. This will give you a dialog that allows you to select the size of the export image.
    When you export to iWeb's blog template, your image is scaled to the size of the image placeholder on the blog page. What's the secret of larger photos there? Well it is a bit tricky, but once you figure it out, it isn't so bad.
    1) Go to the blog page on which your photo appears. The photo will appear at the top of the page and have a frame around it.
    2) Select the frame around the image first. Click it "i" icon to bring up the inspector palette. Click on the little ruler icon on the inspector. There is a checkbox on the palette that says "Constrain proportions" You want to turn this off, so that you can resize one dimension if need be.
    3) Now select the actual image. If you want to size a single dimension, repeat the process you used in step 2 on the image frame. Note that the placeholder will distort the image if you stretch the image along one dimension. This is not a bad thing... you can fix this pretty easily.
    4) If you distorted the image in step 3 because of your desire of a different sized image frame, first press the Media button at the bottom of the window in iWeb.
    5) Scroll through and find the original image that you had exported from iWeb and that first showed up on the blog page.
    6) Drag that image into the placeholder and it will replace the stretched image, properly scaled and cropped.
    There ya go!

  • Add To iPhoto in Mail fails for iPhone photos sent in multiple emails

    Someone takes six photos with an iPhone and emails them to you.
    You get 6 emails. Each one has a photo.jpg image attached.
    You click the SAVE pop-down menu in the Mail message and choose Save To iPhoto. The photo is imported into iPhoto. You delete that email and do the same thing with the second email with the second photo...
    BUT, somewhere the Mail-iPhoto smartness turns dumb, as the rest of the photos will not show up in iPhoto. (This may have something to do with the fact that the iPhone sends each photo with the attachment name of photo.jpg and somehow Mail or iPhoto think that photo has already been added to iPhoto).
    I was having this problem with photos emailed to me by iPhone users and tested it myself.
    Sure enough, after the first photo.jpg attachment is imported all subsequent Add To iPhoto operations of iPhone sent images fail... even if the photos have been sent from separate iPhones from separate email addresses.
    All the attachments are kept by Mail in uniquely numbered folders in the attachments folder of my receiving email account in Library/Mail but since each attachments is named photo.jpg that seems to throw off iPhoto OR Mail (because even the quick progress update of "Adding photo to iPhoto" does not show up on these attempts).
    I checked if quitting and restarting Mail fixed allowed the second photo to be added to iPhoto but it did not. Quitting iPhoto after EACH import/Add To iPhoto operation allowed each photo to be added into iPhoto.
    This may have to do with the iPhoto bugs handling large libraries (I have 19000 images in it) like the spinning wheel of Names window after imports, etc.
    Just sharing if others have the same experience sending 3 iPhone photos by email to themselves and seeing if all can be added to iPhoto from Mail. Thanks.
    Imran

    Yes it is a bug
    Report to apple. iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    You can work around BR saving to the desktop and importing or opening in quick view, expanding to full screen and saving to iPhoto

  • Can't send more than 1 photo from iPhoto to Mail since upgraded to Leopard

    Hi there,
    I'm using an older version of iPhoto (4.0.3). We recently upgraded to Leopard, and ever since then, we haven't been able to use the Email icon in iPhoto to attach photos in Mail. It prepares to send all the photos, but only attaches one to a message, and then I get an error message saying, "Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of content of outgoing message id (a long number). Invalid index."
    Does anybody have any idea as to what's going on here? It's very frustrating!!!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

Your choices would seem to be -- in descending order of complexity -- a) revert to OS X 10.4, b) install a newer version of iPhoto, or c) take the extra step of exporting.
    Alternatively, have you tried preparing a new message first, then just dragging the selected images directly from iPhoto to your message?
    Um, you seem to be contradicting yourself, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
    As I already said, I DON'T NEED to take the extra step of exporting the photos into a folder, as I AM selecting and dragging the images directly from iPhoto into Mail.

    I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has?  Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft?  I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
    Jim

    Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows. 
    You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu.  If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu.  The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows. 
    However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD.  It just becomes a single video/movie file.  So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
    and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.
