Emailing Photos With Mail.app

Say I want to mail a picture of my bike to Omer, but I don’t know the exact file name (e.g. DSC2398), the photo browser function in Mail.app makes it easy to find photos by providing thumbnails of all your Aperture, iPhoto, and Photo Booth pictures in a convenient little browser (sortable by application, album, event, etc.).
To activate the browser, you can either click the Photo Browser icon in the upper right corner of the message box or you can go to Window -> Photo Browser. To use the browser, just locate the picture you’re looking for, then drag and drop it into your message in its desired location.

You’ll notice that in the bottom left corner, it shows you how large the message is. If it’s 1 MB, or more, then your message could take a while to send on a slow-ish connection. However, if you look to the bottom right corner, there’s a drop down menu that’s called “Image Size”. If your image takes up to much space, then select a smaller size, such as Medium
