How to E mail large photo

If you just send it as an attachment, it will open via an Explorer window, rather than the e-mail window on the other end, and will probably eliminate scrolling.

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.

In addition to Goonboy's suggestions, there are a couple of things you can do to reduce image file size. When you scan your photo set the output resolution to 72 in your scanning software if the photo is only to be used for e-mail or other online use. If you want to print the photo the output resolution should be set to 300.

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.

Thanks for the response. I will try your suggestions. I knew there had to be a way to do this.
