Publishing pictures in Live Mail
When I use 'add photos' to an email and choose low density all works well
except when photos are rotated which results in a Photo Publishing Error, Sorry we couldn't upload your photos. Does any one know a fix for this. Thanks, John. |

You sure that prompt isn't followed by: Do you want to send the message anyway? Recipients will see the small photos shown in this message, but they won't have access to higher-resolution versions of your photos that they can view online and save. To try again, click 'No' and start over." That gives you an option to actually put the full resolution file into your message (rather than have to use Skydrive to upload it there)? Do you have a Skydrive/Hotmail account so the Photo Email feature can do the upload of the full resolution image into that account? If so, is WLM configured to connect to it when you start WLM? Does any one know a fix for this. Have the photos already been rotated in a photo editor before you send them via Photo Email? Or are you somehow trying to rotate them during the send operation? Use a photo editor to rotate before adding to e-mail. That is, rotate the photo to edit the image file before you elect to add it to your e-mail. If you're using Windows Live Photo Gallery (WLPG) and importing pictures, like from your camera, the photos may get automatically rotated provided your camera includes metadata on its orientation during the snapshot (i.e., your camera has to know if it was vertical or horizontal). If you don't want auto-rotate (because it rotates what you don't want rotated), in WLPG to to File - Options - Import tab, and deselect the "Rotate pictures on importion" option. Otherwise, just rotate the photo in WLPG if that's the orientation you want before you use Photo Mail in WLM. I doubt every possible edit function in WLPG is usable via the integration interface between it and WLM. The way you describe of adding an image file is that you are probably using the Photo Email feature. The error you mention is, I believe, associated with WLPG but you didn't mention using WLPG. Details matter, just like Windows *Live* Photo Gallery is different than Windows Photo Gallery (in Windows Vista) and then there's Windows Live Gallery (retired) which was a center for gadgets, extensions, and add-ons for Windows and Live services. "Publishing" is uploading the file to your Skydrive account, so you also have to be logged in. A small image version is put into your real e-mail with a link to the full version up on the server in your Skydrive account. Right-clicking an image file in Windows Explorer in Windows 7 and sending it via e-mail results in using Photo Mail. (You didn't mention WHICH version of Windows that you're using.) By the way, how full is your Skydrive account? If you installed Windows Live Photo Gallery (which, I believe causes the "Photo Publishing" error you mentioned), and you use WLPG to select photos to send via e-mail: - Right-click on an image. - Select the picture. - Click the drop-down arrow on the Photo Mail option and select "Send photos as attachments". If you are using Windows Explorer to select images to e-mail: - Right-click on an image. - Choose Preview. This loads the image into WLPG. - Click the drop-down arrow on Photo Mail and choose "Send photos as attachments". If you're in the new-mail compose window of WLM: - Select a photo in Photo Email. This reveals the Photo Email Tools/Format option. - Click the paperclip icon to change a Photo Email to one with attachments. If you want to send the file as an attachment within your e-mail the old way (the full file is encoded into a MIME part in your e-mail and shows as an inline or attached file) then attach the file or insert it inline in the text of your message. I recall reading there is a user-configurable option in WLM under the Compose tab to "Convert messages to photo e-mails when adding photos". Disable it if you never want to incorporate Skydrive with uploading the full resolution photo up there and putting a small image and link into your actual e-mail. I've also read that the database that tracks your photos and videos in WLPG can get corrupted so you force WLPG to rebuild it. You exit WLPG, go to "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery", rename pictures.pdn (where n is a number probably dependent on the version of WLPG) to something else (e.g., old_pictures.pd5), and reload WLPG. Another option is to go to Add/Remove Programs, select Windows Live Essentials like you intend to uninstall it but select Repair instead of Uninstall. The above relates to WLM 2011 with its Skydrive integration (and the error comes from WLPG). Yet you're posting here using WLM v14 which, I thought, was part of Windows Live Essentials (WLE) 2009. Are you somehow running with a mashup of WLE 2009 and 2011 components? |

Publishing pictures in Live Mail
Oh, by the way, the Windows Live Mail newsgroup is over at:
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop The error you're getting is with Windows Live Photo Gallery whose newsgroup is probably at: microsoft.public.windows.photogallery This newsgroup was originally to discuss the Help and Support feature included in Windows XP but got miscontrued by many for general help on Windows XP (which is the microsoft.public.windowsxp.general group). If you want to post to a community more focused on the apps that you are using, you should post over in those newsgroups. I don't use ANY version of WLE or WLM so what I stated above was from what I read about the software and post/forum threads by other users with the same complaint as yours. |
