Reduce photo size for emailing

If you’re like me and take all your pictures with a digital camera at the highest quality possible, you may have trouble sending them by email because they will be too large.

A quick way to reduce your photo size when sending it by email is to:

  1. Browse to the picture folder on your computer
  2. Right mouse click on the file name of the photo you want to send
  3. Select SEND TO, then MAIL RECIPIENT
  4. A window pops up asking you to select the file size
  5. Select the ‘smaller’ or ‘small’ option, and click ATTACH
  6. Your email message pops up – enter an email address, subject and message and click SEND

Note that you can send more than one photo at a time -- ‘Click and drag’ to select file names that are beside each other on the list, or hold the CTRL key down and click on each file name -- then right mouse click and select SEND TO.
