How to e-mail smaller digital pictures
computing August 22nd, 2007Ever e-mail digital pictures to your friends and family only to be told they were too big to view very well? Save the grief and make your digitals smaller before emailing them.
To do this in Windows XP:
1. Locate your digital picture on your hard drive or external media.
2. Right-click the photo and choose Send to, then click Mail Recipient.
3. You’ll see a choice to make pictures smaller. Click OK.
4. Your default email program should automatically open, showing the smaller attached picture.
5. Address and send. That’s it!
Stumble it!

That’s really helpful, but I already knew that. It’s my mom who asks me to help her with that…

Cool. I’ll try that next time.
Thanks for dropping by the other day. And I completely understand about being the only family tech person. Sigh.
Cheers!

BB, at least I’m not a nurse like my sister. She’s the one who gets all the medical questions in the family. Yes, we all have doctors, but it’s too easy to ask her first.
I suppose this happens with a lot of professions. I wouldn’t want to be the only plumber in the family!

Wow! I didn’t know this. Thank you. I use Adobe Elements to send a bunch but often there is only one photo and this way is quick. (Zoomed and Stumbled ya!)

windyridge — Yeah, handy little tip huh? I wish I’d known about it sooner. I was always doing this the hard way and my pictures were unnecessarily large. Thanks for the stumble and zoom!
