I'm trying to help a friend running OS 10.5.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2 on a Mac Pro.
The problem is in iPhoto he selects a photo to e-mail. It gives him a choice of size say122kb. It launches Mail and attaches the photo to the e-mail perfectly. And the file size goes from 122 to 260kb. This is a fairly new behavior. There must be a setting that he has messed up someplace but I have looked and not been able to discover it. Any help would certainly be appreciated.
You can set the size in two places. First when you start the email and a second time in the lower right hand corner on the apple mail compose window. Based on the information you gave I would guess that he has the second setting at small

Look at the bottom right of the Mail Message window when the photo is attached. What size setting is selected there?
I should've mentioned in my original post that when it opens in the mail in its increased file size and you go to adjust the file size in male on the lower right-hand corner it gives you a choice of only actual and small.
The thing that is really strange about this is that it should be exporting from iPhoto at the122kb which in my mind means that 122kb is the biggest photo that Mail should get. it's the fact that it is increasing in size that is the problem. I personally don't even see how it's possible. Unless there is an export script somewhere that is gotten corrupted. It totally has me confused.
Hi all,
I truly have a strange thing happening. I originally posted that I was helping a (friend see above). I came home checked my updated iPhoto 9.2.3 click on the picture added export to mail and it went from 122KB to around 74kb then I imported one of my friends photos a PSD file into my iPhoto library and it exported at 122kb and ended up in mail at 174kb. I removed the file but now all of my exports get larger also. I tried rebuilding the database but that did not seem to help. Any ideas?
