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.

E-mailing photos from iPhoto through Entourage

I have iPhoto 2 and I am using Panther. When I e-mail photos from iPhoto through Apple Mail, the photos appear directly in the e-mail HTML. When I send them through Entourage, they only appear as attachments. How can I send photos from iPhoto through Entourage with the photos appearing in the HTML body of the e-mail?
Thanks.

Since your question is about Entourage, you'll have better luck seeking the answer at the Mactopia forums, but I don't think Entourage works like Mail in this respect.

When I send a photo from iphoto through e mail I cannot find a record in the sent box. Where is the record of the sent photo?

Where is the record of an e mail I send using i photo share? It isn't in the 'sent' box of my e mail account

What I am missing is the sharing history in iPhoto.
It's hidden and buried in the Info drawer for the photo.
And there's no way to search for those photos that have been emailed. If you want a sent copy BCC yourself on every email you send out.

Mail photo from iphoto

Could someone walk me through emailing a photo from iPhoto? I've looked at other discussions and following their 'replies' is not working for me. I'm using iPhoto 9.6, and don't know why my iCloud or gmail address and pw won't work. ty

I am sending emails from my regular email program without any problem. So for example, if I write a regular email to someone i can send a receive regularly.
It's within iPhoto where I'm trying to send out a photo that I have a problem. Ichoose mail as the email client under preferences as instructed. My account name and password are in there by default I assume, since I see my name in the username setting, and asterisks in the password setting and SSL checked. I assume that iPhoto is merely using the same username and password as my regular gmail account so there would be no reason for it to fail. I only see asterisks under the password name so can't verify what password is being used but it should be using the same as my regular email (gmail) account so I don't know why it doesn't work. Thank you.

E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto '09

E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto ‘09
Hi:
We used to have a great way of e-mailing photos from iPhoto: specifically, we just clicked the Entourage e-mail icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window, chose the size of the photos we wished to send (ie, one was given options for how much one wished to reduce the size of the photos), and it was done.
Now that we’ve upgraded to Outlook 2011 we seem to have lost this functionality.
I tried to choose Outlook 2011 as our default e-mail program under iPhoto>Preferences>”Email photos using :” but the only 4 options are AOL,Eudora, Mail, and Entourage. Interestingly, the icon used here is Outlook 2011, not Entourage (yellow, not purple), but it still says “Microsoft Entourage” next to the yellow icon, and the mail icon at the bottom of the main iPhoto window is still the purple Entourage icon (and if one clicks it, it tries to open Entourage).
I then went into Apple’s Mail program under Preferences, and made sure that the “Default email reader” option was set to Microsoft Outlook 14.1.4 (which it was), but iPhoto still uses Entourage.
I searched the web and found a tip saying that one can drag photos from iPhoto over the Outlook icon in the dock to mail photos. I was thrilled to see that this worked, only to realize that it sends full size photos, without the downsizing option discussed above.
I thought about upgrading iPhoto to the ’11 version, but a plethora of the online reviews were less than laudatory about the stability of iPhoto '11, so decided to stay with ’09.
Thus, does anyone have suggestions for easily sending reduced size photos from iPhoto using Outlook 2011? I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos, but I would love to find a much more intuitive and quick method, similar to what we had with iPhoto and Entourage.
Thank you very much!!!
iPhoto ’09 8.1.2 (4124)
OS 10.6.8
Outlook: Mac 2011 v 14.1.4

I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos,
No you don't need to do that. Just use the Export dialogue in iPhoto to reduce the quality - it's exactly the same as the one used when sending to a mail app.
As for the comments about iPhoto 11 - search and you'll find pretty much the same ones about iphoto 09, 08, 6, 5 etc

Why when I email photos from iPhoto do they not show in my sent items in my mail ?

Why when I email photos from iPhoto using the share option does the email not show up in my sent items box in Mail. The emails are arriving ok but I do not have a record of the email being sent. Bit confused. I am new to my iMac .

If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

Souvent eu ce problème,
Je cree un dossier sur le bureau et glisse les photos à partir d'Iphoto dans ce dossier. Ce geste a pour effet de creer des copies dans le dossier.
Il ne reste plus qu'à selectionner ces photos pour les envoyer en pièces jointes.

I cannot e-mail photos from iPhoto

When I try to "share" my photos from iPhoto, it always says that the server does not recognize the user name/password combination. Yet I can use my e-mail with the same user/passowrd information. When I check the info in iPhoto Preferences, both are identical. Where is the glitch?

Using iPhoto 11?
Iphoto Menu -> Preferences -> General

Using iPhoto as the email client in iPhoto does not creatge a sent copy. iPhoto indicates in the Info drawer if a photo was emailed by iPhoto (under the Sharing section):
There's no easy way to search for photos that have been emailed. Each photo has to be inspected via the Info tray.
One could add a keyword to emailed photos which would let a smart album keep track of those photos.
A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client (in iPhoto's General preference pane) and use it. That will give you an sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if you want a theme, numerous photo themes under the Stationary section of Mail.

Emailing photos from iPhoto 09 via Mail always produces same photo size

I'm trying to email photos from iPhoto 09 using the Email button. No matter what photo size I choose (Small, Medium, Large, Actual Size) in the subsequent compose dialogue the resulting email always shows a small embedded photo. Any tips?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You also need to set the size in the New Message Window in Mail

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

"The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com

Thanks for helping Christeneau. You helped me too...eventually. I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using". What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar. This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe! E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
Thanks again for you help.

HT1338 having trouble e-mailing photos from iPhoto

Trying to email photo from iphoto. email server not recognising my user name password/

See the forum:
Send email from Iphoto.
where I have posted a solution.

IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

I cannot email photos from iPhoto. I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

Do you have two-step verification enabled and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
Then check this solution:
If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
See the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)
Re: I am having trouble e-mailing from iPhoto the message I get is E-mail server didn't recognise your username/password combination
Re: Mac's new Photos app is not letting me email

I select photo from iPhoto,go to share:email, photo uploaded to email, type in address, click send, pop up window appears with: email did not go thru because server did not reply - now what, how do I fix?

I select my photos from iPhoto, go to toolbar, click share and email, photo is uploaded onto email screen and I add photo info and type in my
email address, click send at the bottom of page and it after a minute or two, a pop up appears with the message: your email did not go through
because your server did not reply. Have sent the same photo to my email address with no problem just to doublecheck. Why will it not
send out to other email addresses? Thank you.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there. Now add it back and try again.
A more reliable method is to set Mail as the email Client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane. The Mail client is more reliable, gives you better access to your Contacts, gives you a sent copy and has photo themes similar to iPhoto's in its stationary section.
