Reducing the size of "received" jpegs (in iPhoto?????)
« Reply #15 on: May 10, 2012, 02:11:05 PM »
First, a big thanks to Apple for its naming conventions. All its iLife apps never carried/reported the same version numbers after a few updates. Every year their name was updated to whatever the current year was; 08, 09, 10, 11, etc. But the version numbers lagged way behind. I now have Garageband 6.0.5, iDVD 7.1.2, iMovie 9.0.4, iPhoto 9.2.3 and I don't even know what iLife is, anymore. Is there an '12 batch out yet?

So I have no idea if my 9.2.3 version of iPhoto is the same as Dick's iPhoto "V.11." But I don't think I've ever seen an Apple app with a scroll bar on the "left."

no "evident" zoom controls.
Did you look at any of my uploaded images?

Nor have I been able to decipher exactly what this sentence means:

I have been using the e-mail function in iPhoto to reduce the dimenisons of jpeg attachments to e-mails that I occasionally receive (say, in 300 dpi) meaning they appear on my 27" display s though they are 10 x 12 feet in size
It appears that you already know of the "Share->Email" function of iPhoto. But I'm now not even certain how you are viewing a "jpeg attachments to e-mails that I occasionally receive (say, in 300 dpi) meaning they appear on my 27" display s though they are 10 x 12 feet in size." In what app are you viewing them?
1. Mail
2. iPhoto
3. QuickLook
4. Other
As for finding the original, I had assumed that you had imported it into iPhoto. If so, it should be one of the last dated images in the "Photos" Library or in the "Recent->Last Import". Possibly even still on your iPhone, if you didn't delete it. If none of those places have it, I'd be happy to send you a large image, suitable for a Desktop picture, so you could et a screen capture of those scroll bars in iPhoto.

I very much dislike seeing questions being left unresolved... dntknw.gif

Paddy, I think I have used LionTweak to set the scroll bars to always visible. I agree the default setting was distracting and un-needed on a 'real' computer! smile.gif I only wish that the SIMBL developers would get it compatible with Lion so the sidebar colors would remain in Finder windows. I almost always have two Finder windows open and the bland, same-ness of the icons is not helpful. rant.gif

My error. I was fatigued. Make that "Right"

That is as precise as I am able to state it. Sorry if it remains murky.

I think Daryl said the same thing . . .

Iphoto 11: After selecting the photo you want, then "Share", then "e-mail", when the e-mail screen appears in the lower right hand portion of the screen there are the following options. I did test it and it sure enuff changes the size.Size:Optimized:SmallMediumLarge

That's riiiight. I tried to say so,

  1. Of course I imported into iPhoto. I meant to report that. It was sent by my daughter from her iPhone just after reaching home after the game
  2. It was so flawed, and I thought beyond usefulness, when I finished my original TeeEss post I hosed it.
    This is what I now enjoy . . .

  3. Thanks for the offer but no thanks. My energy for this issue is about gone.
Next time I find myself confronting such a vexing problem, I'll come back to this text for the solution.

Thanks to everyone.
