What file size is an emailed photo?

I emailed photos from Europe recently and had a HUGE bill (travelers beware, get int'l calling plan w/AT&T first). Does anyone know at what size photos are sent? I'm assuming it would be the size they show up at in iPhoto, about 400k, which would be the equivalent of "large" files sent from iPhoto via Mail.

For some reason, the iPhone downsizes the photos to 640x480 when you send thru the iPhones email and they are only about 100k.
When you transfer them to a computer to save or email they are approx. 400-500k and full size, I think 1200x1600.

  • What file size is a PDF?

    I receive lots of PDF files but I can't figure out what file size the creator used. If he used the smallest size setting, it wouldn't have a high enough resolution for professional printing would it?
    I have preflighted PDFs but can't figure out where it tells me if a PDF is the smallest file size or Press Quality.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Sorry peeps but I have a question that is at the beginning stages but I seem to need to re visit this area, can anyone PLEASE tell me how to print to pdf. I usually hit command-p and go to printer and set my dpi to 300 and than check custom so that my postcard will fit correctly save to my designated folder and let Acrobat do the rest...the reason I go this way is because I have to keep my file size as low as possible because I have to email my files to the printer. is there a sight or can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong..I start with a file at 6.63mb and after I print to pdf with the settings I said at the beginning and I wind up with 51.23kb PLEASE help!

  • Ipad Photo - Making File Size Smaller for emailing

    How does one make pics smaller (file size) for emailing?

    The Photo Pad app allows you scale the photo. I just checked and it does also reduce the file size. You can email the scaled photo from the app.

  • How do I make a photo file size smaller? The photo is .jpg.

    I need to make a photo file size smaller for some other uses.
    imac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iphoto 5.0.4

    Haha yes i forgot that you may not be using Apples Mail. Lets try the export then file>export, then under the heading "format" click JPG. Then click "scale images no larger then:" in the width field type "800" then the height field should change by itself. Thats what i do for emailing, it's usually the best trade between quality & size, that should be small enough to email. Best wishes JAG
    P.S. when you first click "scale images no larger then" what's already in the width height fields? thats your actual photo resolution.

  • What file size is used for "optimized" upload/download?

    When I upload my photo files from Aperture (and previously from iPhoto) I routinely use the upload setting named "dowloading of optimized" files.  I know that this downsizes the files for faster upload/download, but still gives a file size acceptable for great onscreen presentation and for a resulting small print of someone downloads.  Can anyone tell what downsizing Aperture/iPhoto does in this case?  For example, 50% jpeg, email sized jpeg, etc.  Since Apple will kill the MobileMe galleries in June I have to switch to another photo presentation host.  For upload to such a host Aperture/iPhoto gives choices like 100% jpeg, 50% jpeg, etc.  What I want to do is end up with something similar to what I now get with the "optimized" setting.  Thank you.

    You will note that I referenced both programs (iPhoto & Aperture) in my original message above, and I have posted in both forums.  Since both programs offer the same (at least on the surface) option of "optimized" to MobileMe galleries, one might assume that both use the same or a similar system.  Lengthly testing of my own is the "best" solution only if I can not find anyone who is knowledgeable about what these programs do in the upload.  It has been my sincere joy over many many years that I often find people on these forums who possess knowledge much greater than I.  As to the programs changing the algorithum at any time, I doubt that since this MobileMe function will disappear in June.  Seems like a strange time to make changes.

  • What kind/size/format/color space photo for making books?

    Let me make that simpler. I have Tiffs on a drive I want to drag into iPhoto to turn into a book. Should I use tiffs? Jpgs? 16 or 8 bit? RGB or sRGB? Maybe iPhoto makes them what they need to be when I order a book?
    I haven't tried this at all yet so maybe there is no question at all. I'll have iPhoto 8 by the time I do this loaded in the 15" MBP
    Thanks
    Neil

    If you already have the photos as tiffs you can use then if you'd like and save having to convert them to jpgs. As Larry pointed out the sRGB profile is recommended by Apple. I think 8 bit is sufficient. 16 bit doubles the file size and I don't think it would make any difference. The book gets created as a pdf for uploading and printing. As for size, pixel wise, the larger the better. The pdf is configured at 300 dpi so anything over that is wasted. If you plan on any full page photos then for the optimal dpi, 300, the image would be 3300 x 2550. Most of my books have been made with photos at 2816 x 2112 and I've had no problems. I've not used any one-photo-per-full-page layouts however.
    However, if you're worried about disk space on your MBP then I'd convert them to jpgs as Larry suggested.
    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 created 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 and Leopard. 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.

  • No "size options" when emailing photos

    I'm using an iPhone 4, which is about a year or so old. Normally when I email a photo to myself, it gives me the option to resize it as "small", "medium", "large", or "original". This has always worked fine for me, and it's never been a problem.
    Today, I tried to email a photo to my gmail and it automatically attached the photo without giving me the resizing option. It just attached the "small" size photo without even giving me a choice?
    Why has it suddenly taken that option away from me?
    I haven't changed anything on my phone?
    I haven't changed any settings or apps?
    Any help would be most appreciated as this is frustrating and annoying on a whole new level!

    Hey JDSUK,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    My apologies, when attaching a file in BlackBerry Hub it will send it at it's full size.  You can however ZIP a file which will make the file size smaller.  Check out this Blog post for more information: http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/06/blackberry-10-working-with-zip-files/
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • File Size Options when emailing

    My old blackberry used to give you the handy option of reducing the file size of photos when emailing (small, medium and orignal).  I can't find this option on the Q10 and its not set out in the user guide.  As such, all photos are being emailed at full resolution which is costly from a data perspecitve when off wifi.  Has anyone discovered the trick for reducing flie sizes when emailing or do we need to wait for an op systyem update?  Cheers.

  • What image size for full page photo?

    What image size is required to be able to create a single full page photo in an iPhoto book?
    I shoot in RAW and use Lightroom for most of my photography. However, for family pictures, I'd like to create an iPhoto book. I exported from Lightroom as 100% quality jPEGs / at 320 dpi / small side 2000 pixels -- but I still get a triangle warning that this is not big enough for a single photo page. What dimensions/resolution is required to put one photo on a page?
    By the way, would you recommend jPEG? I tried TIFF and while those file sizes much larger, I still get warning triangle?
    Finally, when I re-import to the new size that someone hopefully will recommend, how do I delete my old (too small) images in iPhoto?

    AEPC
    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    In iPhoto '08 & '09 the warning comes on if a photo is below 180 dpi - so for 8.5 x 11 you need a minimum photo size of 1530 x 1980 pixels - and remember is you zoom or crop the photo in the book the area you actually printing must be that - not the original sized photo
    The format of the photo (TIFF or JPEG) makes no difference in the warning symbol only the pixel size

  • What file name, are old emails saved under in backups?

    Time Machine, does not seem to operate properly, past the date when I clean installed Yosemite. My files are all there, but I can only find them by going into my drive, and either searching for the file in Time Machine, or searching for it in my backup drive. I cannot restore a mail file, by opening mail, and time machine. It works fine up until the date, when I installed Yosemite. I have done 2 different  completely clean installs, and one using migration assistant, wt a multitude of problems. I am done wt doing that. My iMac is finally running smoothly, and I have managed to migrate everything back into my iMac, except for my old emails. I'm pretty sure that I could restore my emails, as long as I knew where there there supposed to be stored on my iMac. I could basically restore them, by either looking in my backup drive where they are before I installed Yosemite. What file name, are old Maverick emails saved under in backups?

    The information viewed in Contacts is not located in a single file, nor a single directory.
    [Copied from another thread I responded to recently:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24658329#24658329]
    This MIGHT be include all the files you need, but there might also be Preferences files needed from another directory.
    Also, I migrated my data from an older OS X version (10.6.8) where the app was called Address Book. On brand new systems, it is called Contacts, and the correct directory might be named Contacts.
    NOTE: Be sure to replace Macintosh HD below with the actual hard drive name if not Macintosh HD, and username below with the actual user's name...
    Transfer all the files from Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    That WILL INCLUDE each of these three subdirectories where the necessary files and data are stored:
    Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/images
    Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata

  • Reducing file size for transmission to photo store

    I'm using PSE4 under WinXP Home SP2. I want to try out Ritz processing of transmitted photos.
    My photo file sizes seem to average about 1.3M, which takes an inordinately long time to transmit. I doubt that I need that big a file to get quality 4x6 prints. I tried resizing the canvas size to 4x6, but ended up with a bigger file! Can somebody straighten me out?

    Org would provide a very easy method, as you can export a copy of an image in any size you want.
    Using Editor, you should work on a copy of your image files. Use Image Resize, with Resample checked; set the size to 6x4 and the PPI to 300. That should yield a sensible file size.

  • What file size?

    I want to export pics from iPhoto to do a slideshow in Final Cut Express. Does the file size matter regardless of where your show is being played, a T.V. or a 60' screen? My show will be played on a BIG screen and then DVD's made for T.V. What size should I export them as? Thanks.

    'video' in FC/e has a max resolution of 1920x1280 HDef.
    DVD is 720x480 pix, always SDef.
    If you like to add 'Ken Burns'-effects to your stills ('camera movement'), resolution should be bigger for sure.
    and, in case of a follow-up question: there's no such thing as DPI in video ...

  • Slight file size discrepencies between identical photos?

    While looking at the metadata of photos I am working with, I have noticed that identical photos in every single aspect of pertinent metadata (lense, focal, other various exif data) happens to have a slight file size discrepency.  For instance, a dscf2001 has a file size of 752kbs and the duplicate dscf2001 has the file size of 732kbs.  These photos have not been altered in any manner. 
    This situation happens with a large portion of my duplicate photos.  One photo's file size is slightly bigger or smaller than the other photo that is the identical version in every single aspect minus the slight file size difference.  Is this a math situation?  If I open with another program will these photos appear as the same file size? 
    Thanks

    They have been copied between drives with different filesystems (iphoto and aperture and old macbook to new macbook).  Maybe this is the issue?
    How did you transit your images from iPhoto? Did you export them from iPhoto or import the iPhoto library? Have the images you are comparing been imported from iPhoto at the same time, from the same iPhoto versions?
    If you compare the original master image files of the images in question in the Finder, do the originals have the same size?
