Aperture - Emailing Your Photos
In the previous article ‘iPhoto - Emailing Your Photos, we covered the method for sending photos using Mail directly from iPhoto. This feature is also available in Aperture, and whilst it will not be as widely used, it is worthwhile including.
We first need to set up our email preferences. Unlike iPhoto, these can be found in the main application preferences. Also unlike iPhoto, there are a wider number of options available. Start by opening the Aperture -> Preferences… menu and selecting the Export tab.
The Email images using drop down allows you to choose between the default Mail, Microsoft Entourage, Eudora and America Online. The other options are only available if the respective application has been installed on your Mac.
The Email Export Preset drop down allows you to choose from a wide range of image formats and sizes, including JPG, PNG, PSD ad TIFF. Aperture has included 3 defaults for emails, Email Small, Email Medium and Email Original Size, and these would typically be used.
Clicking the Edit… button allows you to adjust the default Aperture set of export presets.
To send a photo as an email, you simply select the photo from your library and choose the File -> Email… menu. This will create a mail message with the selected photo(s) embedded using the image settings selected earlier. As with iPhoto, multiple photos can also be selected.
With Aperture 2, Apple have further integrated Aperture into Mac OS X, giving an even more seamless experience.
