I want to export my full size photos (4.8MB) as an attachment to an email. However, my IMac keeps on reducing its size to 22KB - even though I indicate it as JPEG maximum. Can any help?
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I generally Select photo > File > Export to the desktop (check the quality settings) then use the attach option in mail or right click > Services > New Email with attachment.
Remember to check that the resize mail option (bottom right after att. pictures) is set to actual size.
Most users want smaller pictures 🙂

Hi Ashka,
I could kiss you! I have been struggling with this for weeks - but it is indeed the bottom right option that was set to small! Many many thanks! Have a great day from Singapore.
You are very welcome, always happy to help lovely people like you.

Hi Ashka,
I have another problem. I have a full size photograph which I need to crop to 1020 x 200 pixels to make it fit into my web-site. When I crop a photo and try to save it in its new size (by pressing on "done") the photo does not actually become any smaller when I check with "show extended photo information", it retains the original pixel size. Do you have any suggestions?
Sorry the headline should read: Cropping to smaller pixel size.
Just been playing with cropping in iPhoto..
Only the top two crop options are pixel sizes the others are ratios. I don't think it will do what you want..
I usually use Graphic Converter for jobs like that but Preview will work..
Drag your photo from iPhoto to the desktop > double click it to open in Preview > Tools > retangular selection > the pixel sizes are shown as you drag the selection box around. (esc will let you start again & command z will go back.) when you have what you want > Tools > Crop.
Hope that helps..
