How to E mail large photo
I recently scanned a 8 by 11 photo and tried to E mail it. what I got was a photo that would not fit in the body of the E mail window. In order to see the photo you have to scroll up and down and side to side to see the whole picture. Is there a way to compress the photo at this end of the E mail and then still be able to see the whole photo at the other end of the E mail ? I hope what I wrote makes sense to someone I am fairly new at this.
Thanks

You might want to right-click on the picture and select Properties and see what the size of it is, KB/MB wise, too. An 8 x 10 photo can be pretty large, and may even exceed the size limits for the other person's mail server. Ideally, it's best to compress those things with a photo editor, or use Winzip to shrink them a bit, especially if you're sending them to someone on a dialup connection. Otherwise, they take forever to download, and can choke up someone's mail pretty badly.

When scanning a photo the image will be in a bitmat format. After scanning, open the photo in your image editor and convert it to a jpeg, which will compress it and reduce file size. Typically, this is done by the "save as" or "export" function in your editing program.
