Photos as attachments to emails

I have read various posts about including photos with emails as attachments rather than as embedded. I have the same objective but a different problem. I write an email and then I want to attach a photo. So I click on 'Attach'. And I get a pop-up window showing the folders and files. So I click on my 'Pictures' folder and inside that there is a folder called 'iPhoto library'. So I click on that in order to choose the photo that I want to attach. But there is no list of photos nor any list of events. In fact there is no obvious way of choosing the photo I want from the iPhoto library! So, how can it be done? Thank you for any help you can provide!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Sending photos as attachments to email

    I need to send two .jpg photos that are in iphoto to someone. They are asking for them as attachments.
    How do I do this?

    Tell us what you are doing - we can not see from here
    If you are using Apple Mail then under the format menu select plain text

  • Photos as attachments to email

    When trying to send an attachment to an email, Word docs etc will attach as usual,  but clicking on Pictures fails to open the selection of photos in iPhoto (which was previously fine). This seems to be true of more than one email system.

    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
    In fact ,I have always had problems with Mail so have never used it. Occasionally, something tries to to use it (another program?) and the first thing I know is that my screen gets littered with messages (usually protos)  that I did not send, with an error message to say that they can't be sent. I've probably made wrong guesses in the past as to what to set in the Account Information boxes. Could you possibly guide me on this ?

  • I often receive photos as attachments to emails.s there Ian easy way to save them directly to Photoshop Elements? Or do I have to save and then import?

    Well... I appreciate both of your responses. However... I believe that lvlibs cause more frustration then anything else.  My team has come across issues with lvlibs and conflicting paths (when using CM tools) and have resorted to using LLBs because they offer a clean set of file dependencies.  I understand that lvlibs are probably more robust, but they are not an option right now. Therefore...  the question I originally asked still remains.  Is there a quick and easy way to add a bunch of VIs to an LLB without having to save each one of them separately to the LLB?

    I am using a MacBook Pro.  I simply cannot find a way to attach images adjusted in Lightroom as attachments and/or without massive degradation in quality.  I follow the LR attach email process as specified by LR, the photos appear in the email seemingly embedded and the recipients of the email cannot save the attachment.

    You are welcome.  Just finished a chat session with an Apple support rep and confirmed the matte option no longer available.  Seems lots has changed since I bought my 17” 19 months back:).  They did say that there were after market screen films available from places like amazon
    Have never used anything like that though.  My wife has a 2008 MBP 15” with gloss and I can say it is a nice screen finish, you just have to be careful of lighting from behind you.  All my iMacs were glossy and I did learn to compensate for the added brilliance the screen brought to the photos.  The new soft proofing feature of LR5 seems to better estimate the level of brightness of the printed work, compared to past versions of the s/ware.
    In any case, in my opinion you really can’t go wrong with the apple product.  I bought my first iMac in mid 1999 and have never looked back.  I donated that machine to a pre-school in 2008, it was running OSX version 2 or 3 I think.  I did run Photoshop 7.0 on an IBM laptop for a time (windows XP).  I think I had one of the very first versions of Adobe Camera Raw on that machine.  I digress, sorry.
    The chat representative did confirm that the 17” is out of production and I’m guessing Apple found the market for the big laptop just wasn’t there.  They did mention that 17” MBP’s show up as “certified refurbished” units from time to time.  Suggest you might explore that option with a local Apple store in the UK, assuming  Apple has store front operations off this continent of course.
    Please feel free to contact me with further questions if you wish.
    Take care, Gordy

  • Email Photos as Attachments from Lightroom 5

    Is it possible to email photos as attachments (jpg), not embededed within email?  Mac users report when they receive the email, photo is only embedded, there is no attachment so they cannot download.

  • Email photos as attachments from Lightroom

    Is it possible to email photos as attachments from Lightroom?  If so, how?  When I use the export function in Lightroom to email photos, they are imbedded in the email (gmail), not attached as separate files.

  • Can't send photo attachments on email

    I've had my LG G2 for about 5 weeks, and have never been able to send a photo attached to an email. They go fine on text messages, just not email. I always get "sending incomplete." I've resized, checked every setting I can find, and it just won't work. Any ideas?

    YES, the Verizon.net email accounts that I've had for years does work correctly on my Verizonwireless smartphone. Two email accounts, one with one email address and one with TWO email addresses (that receive incoming mail to both addresses in the same email webpage mixed together)......
    Yes I'm using the stock app on the Verizon cell phone.....
    I don't use "Outlook" or "Outlook Express" at all....
    The links you posted.....the first one deals with POP and all that...but my cell phone works sending emails....just NOT attachments....it's the same problem as the first post in this thread describes...emails with attachments fail to send....yet if they are sent as emails from TEXT messaging with an attachment...they will send....but shown as:
    phone [email protected]
    ...as the sender.
    The second link you sent comes up as not available....
    thanks for your efforts....I'll work on it as I can....

  • Since I have updated my iOS to iOS 7 I'm unable to save the photo attachments from email. It this a bug? Please look into the issue.

    Unable to to save photo attachments from emails in ios7

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Photos are not attachments when emailed

    My friend and I have identical iPhones. When I attach a photo from the camera roll in an email and send it to myself or her, it is embedded as a photo and also is an attachment. Our email provider is the same also. When she does the same thing, the email arrives with the embedded photo but there is no attachment and we cannot extract the photo at all -- right clicking does not give us a save as option. This is truly annoying -- there has to be a setting difference. Can someone help?
    Thanks!

    Okay so I used the wrong terminology. The problem is that when she sends the email from her phone with the photo that the file is not attached. So you cannot get the photo out of the email. It shows in the email message itself but there is no way to remove it from the email. Yet when I use the same process and send it, it is attached and I can remove it from the email.

  • "Insert" functions, attachments, photos , etc. on outgoing emails do not activate

    I am unable to attach documents, photos, etc. to outgoing emails. When I click on the "insert" icons nothing happens.

    Thanks for the clarification.
    You used the term right click on it to download instead of right click on it to save the attached file outside of the message which are very different things.
    RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML or I should say can be HTML but certain things must occur in order for HTML to be implemented with a sent message.
    Regardless the message font and size chosen at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors, you must select a font and size via the font panel when composing a message or use bold, italics, underline for selected text or changing text color, etc. If you are using a signature that was composed with RTF or HML with a different font, size and/or color than is used in the message body or contains an image or logo, etc. Forwarding a message that was composed in HTML and the same when replying to a received message that was composed in HTML if you have "Use the same message format as the original message" selected for composing preferences at Mail > Preferences > Composing.
    Any or all or a combination of any of these will send a message as HTML.
    Depending on the Outlook and Windows version used by a recipient, Outlook has had some problems with Mail's RTF. There is no email client that is completely bug free and Outlook has plenty of bugs for such an old/mature email client and MS also makes the arrogant assumption that the majority of people that exchange email are using Outlook or OE and should be if not.
    So long story short, using Plain Text for message composition can and does make a difference.

    How do I send attachments by email from my iPad

    The thing to remember is that iOS email attachments start with the document itself, not from the Mail app.
    1. Select the thing you want to send in an app that handles it, (for example a Photo might be sent from Photos, a PDF from GoodReader etc.)
    2. Then tap the "share" button (which I see others have kindly posted screenshots for) and create an email containing that attachment.
