Mail Photos not "optimised" enough

I am having issues with the new Mail function in iPhoto 9. Previously when mailing a set of photos, I was able to determine the size of the mail as small , medium and large. Now there is only one size - optimised. I sometimes want to mail 8 or 10 photos to my friends. I end up with 10 Mb of attached photos. This is too large. Is there any way I can reduce this. I know I can use MobileMe but sometimes I just want to send a few photos to friends who can then easily download theme if they want. I have a friend who also uses iPhoto9 and who does not have MobileMe. He therefore does not have the option. He also does not want to use Flickr and would like to have to deal wit a single easy way of sending compressed photos to friends. The current Optimisation (compression) is not good enough.

If you don't like the new ways that iPhoto handles emailing then you can access the old way with a small change in how you work:
1. Drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Mail icon in the Dock.
or
2. Use the Photo browser in Mail - or any Media browser in the entire OS

You can then resize the image in the iPhoto Window

Finally, you can make a simple OS Service to to automate the procedure. For more on this have a read of this:

  • E-mailed photos not reaching destination

    Hi,
    E-mailed photos not reaching destination
    . Can you help?

    DCAINTLRE
    If you have Premiere Elements, then your question relates to Premiere Elements via the Elements Organizer that comes with it.
    And, as we know, Photo Email is an Elements Organizer feature found under the Elements Organizer Share/Photo Mail.
    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
    How far are you getting in the Photo Mail feature:
    a. Do you get your created photo mail and see the email with its active Send button ready for you to hit the Send button?
    b. If so, after you press the Send button, does the email appear to have been sent...even if you do not see a specific message saying
    message sent? To verify that the message was sent, in the Elements Organizer Find Menu, go to By History/Emailed to to confirm
    the sending.
    Have you checked with the recipients of your Photo Mail to make sure that your sending is not ending up in the recipient's email junk
    folder? Have you troubleshooted by sending a Photo Mail to yourself?
    What have you set up as Email Client in the Elements Organizer preferences?
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Can I send an E-Mail with photo (not as an attachment)?

    I would like to send an E-Mail with a small photo (not as an attachment) to someone who is reluctant to open attachments. Can I do this and how??
    Thank you
    tch

    If you insert an image into the body, it will still be 'attached', even though it won't be listed as an attachment in the usual way. Another option is to upload the photo to your personal storage space such as OneDrive or Google Drive, and then email the link to the image. The image can then be displayed in a web browser. If you don't have a storage space, there are plenty of free image-hosting services.

  • HT4847 my iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take photos/videos, etc. My icloud is on for photos/videos. Can I safely delete them on my phone to make storage room knowing I can access them on my icloud?

    My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?

    You can't just store photos on icloud.  They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos.  (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
    When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving.  Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
    Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

  • I damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

  • Aperture not showing up / displaying in Mail Photo Browser in Leopard 10.5

    This is for anyone who upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 and wanted to use Mail's Photo Browser to insert Aperture pics into mail messages. At first, it only displayed the iPhoto and Photo Booth folders in Mail's Photo Browser on my Powermac but I remember seeing it in the Apple store.
    If you already generate previews in Aperture, this is pretty much a non-issue. But for me, it frustrated me for a long time. To make it work, the previews must be set in Aperture. I turned it off because it used up extra HD space.
    In Aperture, you need to check the "Share previews with iLife and iWorks" under Preferences. Then decide which size and quality of a preview you want. The larger the size and quality, the better it will turn out when you use it in the photo browser. This dictates the image size and quality of what is imported into your Mail message. (I used the smallest size and a quality of 7, which gave satisfactory results without making the aperture library grow too much). I figured it I wanted to email a large, I could attach it separately via a standard export from Aperture. Don't go too low on the quality as it will not turn out very good.
    Remember to go and generate previews for each folder or pictures, as those are the only ones that will show up in the Mail photo browser. The folders will show up but no pictures if you don't generate the previews.
    It takes a minute before it refreshes in the Mail Photo Browser. Just play with the different settings and put them into your mail to compare the results.

    I had a similar problem and what I found was that I had some corrupt .avi files. Once I removed them all was well. I had to create a new iPhoto library and hunt and peck. I would drag part of the old library into the new library then see if iTunes would see the photos - once it froze then I knew what part of the iPhoto library to look at.

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • I want to drag files to mails but not in body of mail , more over the available type of attachments is only photo or video so how I can attach another type

    I want while replying incoming mails to drag files to mails but not in body of mail , more over the available type of attachments is only photo or video so how I can attach another type

    There is no dragging of anything in iOS.
    Attach as many files or emails as you'd like until it reaches the max capacity of attachements for the email provider.

  • My mac pro mail photo browser not opening

    my mac pro mail photo browser not opening

    I actually have it the other way thinking of my iDevices as windows into my mail and my MP as my main repository. I also set my devices to delete of server any mail I move from my devices inbox to minimize multiple deleting unwanted mail.
    But the real issue was to be able to access all my stored mail on my MP when traveling. IMAP is a way to go, yes. But my concern, please educate me if I'm wrong, I have 6 email accounts. With POP I can drag any email from any account to the ame folder on my MP.
    As I understand IMAP each account would have its own sets of folders. So where I have "Work" ot "ToDo" folder that hold all mail regardless of account, I couldn't have one folder "Work" and drag all mail to it because folders are created per account, per ISP (and I have multiple accounts from various ISPs).
    So I'd have to have a Work folder for each IMAP account and have check each instead of one the way it's set using POP - ON MY MAC on my MP.
    If I'm right abou this, then using a remote app like SplashTop 2 to use any device to login to my MP to read, reply, delete, store, then is a great solution since I'm actually working on my MP remotely. Only problem would be if I forgot to turn my MP on before traveling.
    Am I on the right path?

    I do not have enough memory to update phone. My camera roll is taking up over 8gb of memory so if I delete the photos will they also be deleted on my iPad

    You should download all of your photos to your MAC/PC.   The copies on your ipad are probably the ones in photo stream and they are not the full resolution originals.   They will also gradually be replaced as photo stream only keeps last 1000 photos taken.
    Download the photos, then erase them from your phone.    And while you're at it, make a full backup of your phone in iTunes before doing your update.   And then do the update through iTunes.

    Good day AMELIASARAH,
    One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -

  • The picture ID on my outgoing Mac mail  is not mine -- it's the photo of boyfriend of my mother in law is appearing as my ID photo.  I have no link or connection with anybody  or other accounts whatsoever, and I don't have ANY third-party networks myself.

    Nobody but you sees that photo, it does not appear on outgoing emails.
    To remove the picture rather than change it, open Address Book and select your personal card, then from the menubar select Card > Clear Custom Image. Now the system will use Apple’s generic user picture in the login window and System Preferences’ Accounts pane. Mail and Address Book will remain blank until you designate a new picture in Address Book or System Preferences > Accounts.
