Sending photos from Entourage

[rookie123]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: pop I select one or more pictures in iPhoto, select mail(Entourage) and then select a size that's less than 400 KB which is Entourage size limit for including a picture in the mail window (either sending or receiving). When Entourage boots the picture shows as an attachment but does not show in the mail window. Instead there's a image name like IMG_1846 but no picture.

The only way I can get the picture to show in the composing mail window is to drag it to the desktop and drag it back to the message window. How can I get the picture to show in the message window when Entourage boots? The picture does show in the message window when I open the sent mail.

Thanks for your help.

A photo added as an attachment show below the message text. If you want a
photo to show in the message itself, create an HTML message and drag into
the message body where you want the photo to show.

Diane, thanks for the reply. I know how to do the things you suggested. I just want to know how to have the photo show in the Entourage message window after I click on Entourage in iPhoto. Don't want to have to so the work-arounds.

You make your setting in iPhoto:

You can control which e-mail application iPhoto uses from the General tab of
the Preferences pane under the iPhoto menu. The icon of the selected
application will appear for Email in the tool bar at the bottom of the
iPhoto window.

Select the photo and click on the purple E to email the photo. A window pops
up allowing you to select size. Click "Compose". A new email will open in
Entourage with the photo attached.

In Entourage 2008, select the new Toolbox and click on the right icon,
Object Palette. Select the camera tab. This puts you into iPhoto. It does
not give any options to reduce photos. As a comparison, email from iPhoto on
medium produced an attachment of 56.98 KB. The same photo dragged in from
the Object Palette was 1.13 MB.

Diane, thanks for trying to help. I checked the Object Palette as a means of getting photos from iPhoto which works but takes a lot longer than I want to spend. FYI you can select resolution you want to import to reduce photo size. Just click the &quot;flip&quot; icon at the top right and one the back side you can select the size of the photo file to send.

I'm still looking for the answer I first posted. How do I get the picture to show in Entourage new mail window after I have selected it from iPhoto. All I get is the name of the pic like IMG_2886 to show. I want the picture itself to show.

Can you help?

You have to drag to the body of the message. Save from iPhoto to the desktop
then drag. As you can see the two programs aren¹t designed to work well
together.

If you have the standard edition of Office (not the Home & Student) it
comes with Automator action. One of the default actions is to insert a photo
into a message, but it adds as attachment too.

Diane, sure sucks when you buy the best and it will not accept the picture
into the message window. I'll just have to work-around this issue I guess.
