Photos are distorted when attached to emails

Sometimes, not always, when I attach photos (from my iPhoto library) to an email (dot mac account) I'm sending, the photos appear distorted. Pixelated.
When I use the photo browser to include the photos, or when I create my email from iPhoto (by sharing), the problem doesn't occur..... but then the recipients can only see them as embedded photos which does not work for their purpose. But when I include them as attachments so that the recipients can select and save them, I get the distortion problem. I have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks....

Thanks, but... when I select the photos in iPhoto, when I 'start' the email in iPhoto, the pics look perfect (but are embedded in the email rather than being attached).
If I include them as attachments to an email that I've already started, that's when I get the distortion. I did try making them plain text, but it doesn't seem to make any difference....
And it just seems to be on some photos, not every time, which is the strange thing..

    Very good idea starting your own new thread based on your specific issues and details of them. Although the subject matter may sound the same, it often gets confusing trying to exchange information with two different users at the same time in the same thread and trying to follow the discussion as the thread content gets entangled.
    I just got finishing responding to your post of this thread's question's in rsayen06's thread where you initially posted.

    For you convenience this is a copy of what I just wrote there:
    FrauSherrie
    SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
    3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
    4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
    a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
    b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
    c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
    We will be watching for your follow up.

  • How come photos are distorted when applying them as a wallpaper?

    I'm trying to apply a photo as my wallpaper.  The photo is very large, and it won't let me adjust it to fit the wallpaper. 

    This is an oft reported bug in iOS 7.

  • Many of my recently uploaded photos are horizontal when they should be vertical, and vice versa.  I've corrected all these on my laptop but in my iPad and i Phone photo streams they are still mixed.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Add the corrected ones to your PS - PS contains only what was added to it - changes made are not applied to the PS - you have to re add the updated photos

  • I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents etc. from my Macbook Pro, but now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents, photos etc. from my Macbook Pro. Everything seemed fine until I opened iPhoto and now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    How did you move your iPhoto Library from the old Mac to your new one?
    Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • TS3276 Acknowledging email/internet parameters are functional when attaching, in any fashion, jpegs of 6GB+ they are being received as 70KB attachments? Have i missed some setting?

    Having issue with sending jpeg attachments. Acknowledging that all my email/internet providers are functional and the usual parameters have been checked I currently have the following concern. When attaching, in any fashion, via all methods, jpeg files of 6GB+ they are being sent and received as 70KB+/- attachments? Have a I missed some simple setting or is this a function of iPhoto. I can send the same full size jpeg attacments via Windows based laptops usuing same services, same location; and have had no previous issue using a previous Windows PC.
    Appreciate any input.

  • The sound of podcasts are distorted when I download them to my ipod touch.  How do I fix/ prevent this?

    The sound is fine on my computer, but when I sync them with my ipod they are distorted.  Why?  How do I fix this?

    Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod yet to see if that helps?
    What about a restore?

  • Acrobat 7.0 - internal error when attaching to email

    I have Acrobat 7.0 on a Windows Server 2003 machine with Outlook 2003 and everytime I click the attach to email button I get an "An Internal Error has Occured".  I want to be able to email the pdf directly from Adobe rather than save the file and attach it to an email.

    The MAPI trail was the right one.  Sever 2003 doesn't recommend the use of Outlook on Server 2003.  There are some work arounds but they are too sophisticated for me.  Thanks for your response.

  • Black and White Gray Scale Photos Are Dark When Exported from Indesign to PDF

    When I print right from InDesign the black and white photos look great.  However, if I print the exported pdf file, the black and white photos are much darker.  Is there something I should be doing upon export so that they will look as they do in InDesign?
    Thanks,

    I have tried different settings in format and color space all with the same results. I'm sure it has to do with system not being calibrated. I'm not to computer literate so not sure how all this works. The other programs must go along with my computer and moniter settings where LR and Elements produce their own rendering independent of settings. Yes, I checked and Elements renders like LR. I found some other forums that discussed similar problems but with color rendering. HMMM, just tried something. In Picassa I switched to Linear Gamma 2.2 in display mode and the LR edited photos look correct. So it must be something along those lines being the problem.

  • Photos are Corruped when viewing on iPad

    Everytime I try to sync photos some photos are good... some photos are bad. they have horizontal bars through them. I have no idea what the issue is.
    Hardware software? desktop issue?
    Any thoughts?
    Also, I have removed all the photos but it states that I have on photo on here through itunes.. man.. so frustrating.. any ideas?

    so an update to this situation:
    I took it back to the apple store and they exchanged it out for me, but after syncing my photos again its doing the exact same thing.
    When i say corrupted what i mean is that there are horizontal bars going to the picture making it look "out of sync". Sometimes the full picture does even render. Funny thing is that on the thumbnails though it looks perfectly fine.
    I was thinking it was the original file, but this "corruption" is random. I've synced the same folder multiple times and its corrupted outcome is usually different everytime. Ive tried other folders a number of times as well. Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it doesnt. (thus i can deduce that its not a specific file thats making it go "corrupt")
    I think it has to do with the optimization process, (maybe my computer is too slow?) but who knows.
    I synced about 100 pics, and id say at least 15 of them are "corrupted"
    Any ideas or suggestions? (i think its software based)
    Thanks!

  • Pdf coming up blank when attached to email

    I've opened an online doc in PDF, filled it out, then attached it to an email. It's coming out blank. What should I do?

    Hi AZDave,
    Could you please let me know what Acrobat version are you using?
    There might be some corrupt PDF files or you might need to repair Acrobat from the Help menu.
    Have you installed the latest Acrobat updates? What email system are you using for sending emails?
    Hope to hear from you.

  • My photos are pixelated when I put them into another new document such as a photo collage.  I am trying to put a regular 8x11 image into a 4x6 photo collage of two other images.  All come out blurry.

    I need help! I am trying to put several photos that are large size 8x11 into a small 4x6 new document photo collage.  When I do my images are blurred or pixelated.  Even my fonts in the new document are pixelated and my photshop brushes as well.  I am a novice so I may be doing something wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the dinosaur PSE2 but the method should be the same in 11.
    Image > Resize > Image Size  (the path to Image Size might be different in 11). This brings up the window:
    The DPI is in the Resolution box. Enter the new value. Check the Constrain Proportions and Resample Image boxes and click OK.

  • Adobe X opens only Outlook when attaching as email?

    Is there a way to make Adobe X use a person's default mail client instead of only Outlook? Our organization uses primarily Thunderbird. When viewing a PDF and choosing File > Attach to Email (or clicking the envelope toolbar button), Abobe X attempts to use Outlook, which is either not available on our clients' PCs, or not configured for email at all.
    Thank you.

    This possible has to do with a wrong MAPS setting in your OS.
    You have to configure which app uses the mailTo protocol per default.

  • How do I Maintain the Order Photos Are Displayed When Burning a DVD

    I have created an album from several different events. I want to burn this album to a DVD for a presentation. When I do this, the photos are reorganized and displayed by date/time and separated into two different groups. How can I burn a DVD that maintains the order of photos in the album?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Yay!  I finally found out how to keep the photos in your albums in the correct order when you export the album! I am fortunate to have AppleCare so I decided to call them after trying to figure this out for years.
    The fellow on the phone said he'd had others call about this and that he and a caller figured it out, trial and error. I suggested they add it to the user guide for the rest of us!
    Here you go:
    1. Select your album and all the photos in it.
    2. Go to Export under File
    3. Change File Name option to Sequential
    4. Where it says "Prefix for Sequential" type in the exact name of your album.
    That's it! When you hit Export, the photos stay in perfect order! Yay!

  • Photos are cropped when going to print

    Photos display properly when viewing but when any sort of print routine is initiated the image is seriously cropped, usually left and right sides. Trying to set print parameters, no border, etc., images are still always cropped.

    Make sure the aspect ration (length to breadth) of the photo matches the aspect ratio you've chosen for printing.
    In other words, if you're printing 5 x 7 make sure that the photo is cropped to that ratio, not 4:3 like many digital cameras produce.
