Photo attachments

One thing has always irritated me with iPhoto, but maybe I just don't know how to get around this: I want to be able to attach a photo to a currently created email, not to the new one that iPhoto will create when I select a photo(s) to send. For instance, when I want to email someone via a forward from an already received email, currently I have to create a new email on iPhoto and copy and paste from the other email its history of prior emails to keep the forwarded chain of communication going. Is it possible to attach iPhoto to a currently created email?

James:
You can resize it after dragging into the email window by going to the bottom of the Mail window and use the Image Size menu in the right corner.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Saving photo attachments in mail.app

    Can anyone please tell me if there is a simple way to save multiple photo attachments from several emails to one folder in one go?
    I am hoping that I don't have to go to each individual email & save

    Not wanting to start another topic, is anyone else having issues with the new Lion Mail?
    First: is there any way to turn off the jps in the image and just send them as a file? I hate remembering to make sure the cursor is set to the best location for the inserted images
    The problem I see is sending more than one file. Im not so sure the second plus file is attached.
    I know for sure the image of the scond file is normally half gone.
    Thanks for any insight and help.

  • Fun? with Photo Attachments in Mail

    Hello. I have always wondered just how photo attachments arrived at a Windows user computer.
    After reading an article in the April 2009 Macworld (Mac911), I decided to try a few tests as follows:
    (I would really appreciate any comments for other suggestions--I imagine a lot of Mac users are are also concerned about it).
    1--I first tried the one recommended in the article by making a Zip file as follows:
    I dragged a picture from iPhoto to my Desktop. I then went into FILE in the Finder and clicked on COMPRESS.
    I then composed a message in Mail and using the attach feature at the top of the message, attached the photo to the message and sent it to the Windows user.
    He indicated it did not work that well, too much 'fiddling' to get it useable.
    2--I then went into iPhoto, highlighted a photo, clicked on the email function in iPhoto and sent it off.
    Windows guy says still not that good.
    3--I then tried simply dragging a photo first from iPhoto to the desktop, then dragged it into a message I had composed on Mail and sent it. That way didnt seem good for him either.
    4--**This is the one that he seemed happy with:
    I dragged the photo from iPhoto on to my desktop. I then composed an email message in Mail and using the 'attach' feature in Mail, attached the photo from the desktop into my Mail message.
    He indicated that was the one he preferred by a long shot.
    However, it is a bit of a complicated procedure on my end---any suggestions to make this easier?

    From iPhoto, click to send as before. But prior to sending, click on Format in the menubar of Mail, and select Make Plain Text. In addition, it would be best to set iPhoto NOT to add the Titles or Descriptions beneath the photo. Have the photo or photos be the last thing in the message -- enter no text following any photo.
    Test this with you friend. Not all those things will be necessary all the time, but safest anyway. If the recipient were, for example, using Thunderbird you probably wouldn't have to do any of them, but for those using Outlook or Outlook Express all of those steps would be best.

  • Sending photo attachments from Mail to Gmail

    I've been sending photo attachments via Mail for years and haven't had trouble until recently. Now I'm getting complaints from Gmail users that the attachments come through as embedded files. I guess on the Gmail end, they don't see it listed out as an attachment, but as part of the mail body. What's going on here?
    I attach files same as I always have - by clicking on "attach", then selecting the file(s) I want to attach. I always leave "send windows friendly attachments" selected (although in an experiment, I tried sending it without clicking that, and the images came over all stretched out and shrunken in a very strange way).
    I can't think of what would be happening, but I'm assuming it's something in either the way Mail or Gmail is treating the photos - and I'd like to have them come through as attachments, rather than embed files (I'm a photographer and have heard from some of my clients that the embed is a pain - they have to "save as" right click on each image rather than just select "save attachments" or something).
    Any ideas??

    Send to these recipients using only Plain Text, and all should be well. To test choose a message you previously sent from the Sent mailbox, open, click on Message in the menubar, choose Send Again, then click on Format and choose Make Plain Text.
    Rich Text as received by those using Outlook or Outlook Express, as two examples, will see the RTF as HTML, and the attachments will appear embedded -- although they are not.

  • Is there a size limit on photo attachments that can be opened

    whenever i try to open a large photo attachment (most recently, i tried a 3.5mb jpeg i sent myself from one email account to another), the iphone will download the entire file, but instead of opening the file i am given the boxed ? (question mark) with the blue background as if the iphone does not recognize the file format. however it is definitely a jpeg file. this only happens when i try to open files of larger size (maybe 2.5 mbs and up..)
    is there a size limit that the iphone will recognize photos?
    i am using a 16gb iphone 3G
    Message was edited by: Abbstrack

    There is no file size limit that I'm aware of.
    When I receive an email with a large photo attachment or with a number of photo attachments, the photo or photos may not appear automatically opened as inline or viewed in place depending on my internet connection at the time - wi-fi or the cellular network, which requires selecting the attachment to download and open the attachment. I haven't received a boxed ? mark on a blue background - not yet anyway.

  • Saving photo attachments from Mail to iPhone

    Merry Christmas
    The MMS debate and iPhone rages on and many iPhone fanatics say 'why do you need MMS when you can send/receive photos as email attachments...?'. If that's the case, is there any way you can save a photo received as an email attachment to the 'Photo' section of the iPhone? Is this yet another oversight from our friends in Apple or have I just not discovered how to do it? If the former, it seems the only way to keep photo attachments is to archive all emails with photo attachments - neither intuitive, functional nor an effective use of memory...or I could save emailed photos into iPhoto when next on my iMac and transfer them over to my iPhone when it's docked, but this somehow seems to underline the iPhone's lack of functionality in this area (a rarity given the rest of it is absolutely superb - aside from the MMS issue, lack of video & non-ability to forward/send multi-SMSs).
    Grateful for any advice, or do just have to write some feedback to Apple and just grin and bare it?
    Cheers

    Sorry to say this but yeah this one is for the feedback page, there is no way to save the photos from the Mail app to the Photo app

  • Do you have to turn cellular data on to receive photo attachments by text?

    Do you have to turn on cellular data on iPhone 5 in order to receive photo attachments sent by text? 

    I never turn off cellular on the phone - the phone function is still the primary use for me and there are some data sevices I prefer to keep on at al times. You can restrict some functions from using cellular however: Settings App > General > Cellular > and set as needed in the Use Cellular Data for section. Aslo Check location services and turn off those apps you really don't need location services for.
    But ultimately I agree with pdrith. Monotor your cellular data (your provider may even have an app to do that - Verizon in the US does), and based on your plan make a decision about how much you need to worry about it.

  • TS4435 email photo attachments and iPhoto

    Why can't I import email photo attachments directly into iPhoto...the option is there, but doen't work?

    Greetings,
    How were the images sent: as part of a Rich Text email, or plain text email, with an attachment? Either way, for each image, you should see a Save button, which will display an Add to iPhoto option when you click and hold.

  • Downloading photo attachments

    Hi there! I'm a recent mac convert who needs help!
    Why is it that when I try to download photo attachments from yahoo mail, i can't readily view it unlike before?
    Let me try to paint a picture....
    Normal: Click 'Download File' > 'Download' box appears > I see the exact same file name and its format (jpeg, pdf) as it appears on the email > the progress of the download is shown > file is automatically opened with 'Preview'
    Odd: Click 'Download File' > 'Download' box appears > the filename that appears on the box is ALWAYS 'securedownload' (icon looks like a blank sheet of paper), format of file is not specified > the progress of the download is shown > file does not automatically open
    I have to open Preview (or whatever program i want to use) in order to view the file. I'm not computer savvy and this is really driving me nuts! Thank you for any help

    Experiencing the exact same problem !!.arrgg...have tried everything from reset.. delete account..add account.. reset all the smtp added new servers deleted servers nothing seems to work..very upsetting at not being able to download attachments as it was working perfectly before... & frustrating ....as I can see them perfectly on the computer when I log in.......wondered if you had any success or if it had been resolved for you Cheers

  • I have always been able to open e-mail photo attachments even after trnsferring them to the desktop or a thumbdrive, but after moving the last two

    I have always been able to open e-mail photo attachments even after transferring them to the desktop or a thumbdrive, but after moving the last two to the desktop and trying to open them I get the message that ColorSync is unable to open files of this type. I believe they are jpegs.

    When I attach a PDF to Apple Mail on Mountain Lion, it is an icon. When I send it to an iCloud mail destination, the attachment arrives and is presented as an icon, whether on OS X, or in IOS 6.
    I suspect that the recipient's mail user agent is responsible for the full image .vs. icon behavior, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

  • When I Move email photo ATTACHMENTS to Organizer, quality greatly diminished (PSE8). Please Help!!!

    I have not had this happen before, though I may have used another way of getting the photo attachments (can't remember), but these beautiful photos are worthless as they appear in the Organizer. When I open the attachments, the photos are sharp and clear. Thanks.

    How are you saving the attachements (also which format)?
    Save it to the local system and view them in the explorer and see if it is only the organizer that is showing up the incorrect behavior.
    Organizer will show only what it will get on the hard drive.

  • Photo attachments to Gmail

    I had this thing happen to me. I received an Email with four photos attached. The mail, originally, just displayed the four icons that I could tap to download the photos. I downloaded two and they displayed fine in the mail message and I could tap on them to save to the photo album. When I download the third and the fourth photo these were not displayed in the mail message but a line of text.jpg (untapable) appeared as text for each of the additional photos. I found this strange. Is this because of limited memory? Each of the photos was about 4-5 MB.
    What is the best way to handle such photo attachments so that you do not loose any of the photos into cyberspace?

    Hi Paisinho!
    There should not be a memory problem as of course the photo app works fine!
    Try downloading these images on a computer, and if you cannot access them, then these attachments, have been lost into the 'cyberspace', contact google for information if this happens.
    If they do download on a computer, then there may be some issue with compatibility. (Although you say the text ends in .jpg which should be fine). First try going to gmail.com on your iPad. Either use the Basic HTML version or the iPad specific version. See if that works and get back to me.
    Hope this helps.
