iPhoto - Emailing Your Photos
One of the easiest ways of sharing your iPhoto photos is using email. The integration of the iPhoto (and the other iLife applications) with Mail gives you a seamless way of send photos using email. If you want to quickly send photos to family and friends, iPhoto offers a quick and painless approach.
To start, select the photo(s) that you wish to email. If you wish to select photos across multiple photo albums, you will need to select each album whilst holding down the Apple key. This adds each album’s photos to the current view, allowing you to scroll through the albums in a single page.
Selecting the Share -> Email menu will bring up the Mail Photo preferences.
The Size drop-down allows you to change the size of the photos to be sent. Note that iPhoto will always use JPEG images, even if all of your photos are RAW. The Large (Higher Quality) option is selected by default. The other available options are Medium, Small (Faster Downloading), and Actual Size (Full Quality). The preferences dialog also includes an estimate of the size of the photos when attached to the email and the option to include either the photos title or comments.
Clicking Compose will temporarily display a Preparing photos for email message as iPhoto will perform any necessary image resizing. A Mail message will be created with the photos embedded within (including any titles and comments if requested.) You can now add contacts and update the default subject as normal.
The integration between the iPhoto applications and Mail allows you to easily attach photos to email messages without the inconvenience of exporting to a temporary location and them attaching to the email message.
