Mail - image size popup menu missing

Using Mail 3.6, and the image size popup menu usually in the bottom right corner is missing. Any idea how to reactivate it?
Thanks!
YY

OK, have now experimented some more and it's a bit weird. If you open iPhoto, select the photo(s) you want to send and click on the email button to create the email from within iPhoto, the image size popup menu and message size indicators appear where they should at the bottom of the email window.
I then tried opening a new email message from within Mail (3.6) and using the Photo Browser to add the same photos to a test message. The image size popup menu and message size indicator appeared at the bottom of the email window again, but the image size menu could only affect the size of the last image in the message, no matter what was selected on the screen.
Perhaps that might help someone figure out what is going wrong.

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.

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 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.

Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed.

Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed. There is now only a short three item menu:
Previously there was a longer menu (like the one when right clicking an item on a Safari page):
I've looked in Preferences and at all the Mail dropdown items but can't find any way to get the old menu back (or why it changed). In particular, I miss the "copy image" item which allowed me to copy an item image into a new email for forwarding. I've got two email accounts, an IMAP and a POP. The behavior is the same with both.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Your screen shots are not visible to me. But I think I understand your question.
Several thoughts come to mind:

You can still, of course, simply forward the entire email message containing the image.
You could also use the "Save Attachment ..." feature available when you right click and copy and paste from there once the image is saved.
Less likely, you could also use the "Share" feature available when you right click, though I suspect it may not offer sharing options that you would like.

Missing Image Size and Position Data

In AI CS5 the size and position of an image were displayed in the top toolbar when you selected the image. This is missing in AI CS6, how can I get it back?

Well I did discover that what I need is called "Transform" but it's already checked in the menu you suggested. In fact EVERY box is already checked in that menu, and checking or unchecking them from that menu has absolutely no affect on anything anyway.
I found that I can expand one of the menus from the right side, and the "Transform" box is there, and that's fine. But that data (object size and position) was very useful when displayed on the top toolbar in CS5. Any idea how to make it appear in the top toolbar? It will un-dock (and is very difficult to re-dock)

Bottom "Image Size" selection is now missing...

Apple Mail, Leopard 10.5.4
Apple Mail used to have a selection box at the bottom of an email that has an image attached to it that said "Image Size:" with a pull-down next to it to change the image size.
After a restart last night, it is no longer there. I can still select the image and right-click to change the size, but was wondering why this is now missing in new email message windows.
I have looked at all of the settings, but for the life of me cannot find it.
Any help in getting this back would be much appreciated.
Thank you!!

how are you able to change the size by right-clicking on an image? I don't see that option. I do have that button at the bottom of the message composition window on both 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 machines BUT if I move the image inside the message to a new location this button disappears and there is no way to get it back. this looks like a bug to me. you can try upgrading to 10.5.5 and see if the button comes back. also, create a new account, set up Mail there and see if the button shows up.

No Image Size menu or Message Size report in New Message window

Greetings all,
New iMac user (OS X 10.5.8, Mail 3.6). In scanning Mac Help & the Apple Support forums, I note numerous references for Mail 3.6 to an Image Size Menu button at bottom right of Compose window, and a Message Size window at the bottom left. Have never seen these items. Are they hidden? If so, what is the reveal? Appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

To All,
After sending in my question, I went back to Mail Help & noticed that images could be attached by dragging from Photo Browser or Desktop or Finder, or by clicking on the 'Paperclip' icon. We had only ever used the 'Paperclip'. Dragged an image from the Photo Browser and both Message Size report & Image Size menu button appeared. Then went back and tried Desktop, Finder & 'Paperclip'. Now, the two items appear, whichever method is used. Doesn't work on all .jpg images, but is sufficient for the need.
Guaranteed that if original question wasn't submitted, never would have found out how it works. Many thanks to Apple Discussions.

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.

6300 Lost Image Size Menu

For whatever reason, I seem to have LOST two menu items that I know I used to have:
Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Multimedia messages > Img. size (MMS plus)
Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Multimedia messages > Image size (MMS)
Does anyone have any idea where these have gone, and how to restore them? I have tried a factory reset and firmware upgrade to no avail.
Thanks!
Simon.

Mail reduces image size when forwarding!?

When I forward an email (I use Mail - v6.6 on 10.8.5) the image in the email becomes reduced from 556KB to 20KB which renders it unusable when received.
Can anyone tell me where settings are to stop this happening? I want to forward full size, full res images.
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

Found the answer! In Mail, at top right hand side of the message pane, there's a little drop down menu for 'Image Size'. Once you set it, it stays at that setting until you change it. It'll then stay at the setting you've changed it to until you decide to change it again. See images attached.
Let me know how if it 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

Lightroom 1.4.1: Reducing File/Image Size for Web/E-Mail

This should be a simple thing.
I need to reduce my file size to upload it into various things on the web and e-mail and what not. Sometimes it asks for a specific size.
Right now, I'm using the Export function to do this, which means I have to reset the Image Settings each time in order to get to the size required.
Isn't there and easier way to do this, like just type in the image size you want and have the program reset the image proportionately?
Is there a ratio chart for this, like 1000 x 1400 = # of bytes?
This is a function used all the time--I can't believe it's this cumbersome.

(a) How do I know I am selecting the correct pixel size for e-mail? Just keep hunting and pecking until I find the right mix or is there a number combination that works consistently? And if the latter is correct, what is that number combination.
I just can't believe that reducing the MP size to get it in shape for an e-mail "thumbprint" photo is this tough. Even with the 'preset', I'd have to set up a preset for every picture because they vary by MP and the scaling seems to change.
There is no "standard" size for sending images via email. Just make it small. There is a save for email preset in recent releases of Lr. You can download the demo and see what that entails.
You don't have to create a preset for each picture. I don't know what you would say that. Yes, the amount it compress varies with the information in the image, but this has always been the case with JPEGs. You don't have to make an image that is exactly some size. You just have to make it small enough for most MTAs and MUAs to handle. Since there is no real standard for this, just make it small enough for you.
Something like 800px on the longest side, 70-80% quality should do it to find the JPEG compression sweet-spot.

Menu background image size

Hi...if I follow this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html and the instructions for preparing menu background images. My images still get cropped. Does anyone know the real sizes that will fit perfectly?
From the Apple link:
"If you want your images to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to crop and resize the images to the following dimensions:
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format"
Many thanks in advance

Shingy,
Today there is an update to iDVD (as well as other iApps) that you should make.
After doing the update this is what I found:
I'm not sure if the things I'm seeing are a result of the update, but after updating I have further defined the problem.
The problem now seems to be in figuring out the proper background size when using a widescreen theme converted to 4:3
Widescreen as widescreen and 4:3 as 4:3 work as expected in PAL.
So, if you stick with the originally discussed image sizes for PAL you will be OK AS LONG AS you don't try to use a widescreen theme as a 4:3 theme. (I didn't try using a 4:3 theme as widescreen.)
