For three days I have been trying to e-mail (via Mac Mail) a drawing at hi-res (300dpi) for printing. The drawing is in PSE9, and I have tried saving it as a jpeg, png, PDF, and TIFF, and- despite a notation in the corner that alleges it to be 1.7 mb - in every case it is down to 72 dpi when it reaches the recipient.
So I searched forums like this, and found what appeared to be the answer: send it from Organizer. So I clicked on send by email, and a dialog box appeared telling that it was downloading the Organizer...and kept on going for hours, without any result.
Is there a fairly straightforward way to extract an image from PSE and email it at high resolution?
Totally confused and hopeless.

Have you tried just saving it to your hard drive and attaching it to an email?

Hi purbrookian, and welcome to Photoshop Elements and More!
You can check the image dimensions by clicking Image/Resize/Image Size... (at least that is how I do it in version 13; it may be a little different in v9). You can see both the size and resolution in ppi (pixels per inch).
Many images are 72 ppi, so perhaps there is a confusion between printer dpi and image ppi?
The suggestion made by MajorMajor is a good one, but if that doesn't work let us know what you learn and we can go from there.

I'm wondering if perhaps your email client/program is resizing them automatically when it sends them. I believe that this function exists with some email programs.
I've always saved large images to my PC as MajorMajor suggests and attached them and have rarely had a problem .

EDIT: Just found this when googling 'At the bottom of the new message window is the Image Size set to Original?'

Bayla: Haven't seen the option you mention.
Gettys: The image has to be 300 dpi at the other end, but as you opine, Mail seems to reduce them as a matter of course.
Major:Have tried saving the image everywhere I can think of. But it always defaults to 72 dpi.

But thank you all for your input. Will continue to try different approaches.

Major:Have tried saving the image everywhere I can think of. But it always defaults to 72 dpi. Are you saying that it is a 300 dpi image and you save it as such to your hard drive, and when you reload it it is 72 dpi? Or something else? |
