Can I export directly to an e-mail account

Greg14
Can I export directly to an e-mail account ?

Aperture has an Icon that allows an image or images to open up an e-mail.
Does Capture have that ability?

What I did in capture today was to use export image to my desktop and then drag it to an open e-mail to send.
Is that the best and only way?

Thanks

Greg

    Select the image, then context (right) click and select edit with and go to the bottom of the list and select other. A finder window opens and you can chose mail.app. then you get a window that allows you to select the file type. For instance you can chose jpeg, medium. Select edit variant. A new mail message will open with the jpeg attached.

    You can create a recipe to create an email. Under the Basic tab in the process recipes tab, after setting your preferences for email files, go to Open With> and select your email program of choice. It should open a blank email with your image(s) attached.

    Thanks for the info.
    I just saw everything and will check it out.

    For some reason I am not getting the response notices via e-mail.

    I will have to ask in the General forum as to what i am not doing correctly.
    I get the updates from Phase one on products so the e-mail address is correct.


    Happy Holidays to all

    I right click and hit "open with" and then hit "other" I opened the mail app BUT it when right to the e-mail with the full resolution of the 2 pictures and the file was too large to send.
    There was no window that allowed the file size or type to be changed as you stated above.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I changed the Process Recipes to jPeg 80% (Top), I also changed the Process recipe (Basic) to jPeg and reduced the quality to 50.
    I still get the e-mail to show full resolution.

    I usually use the quick proof recipe for emails. If you use one of the provided basic jpeg recipes make sure you are setting scale settings to create a file suitable for recipients use. by using dimensions and resolution you should be able to create a file suitable for your needs.

    I believe I did that as I stated about, I will try again checking for your terminology.
