Emailing Photos

The problem with email photos is they usually are too large to see in the email. You need to resize them smaller.
In Windows XP this is simple.
First find your photo on your hard disk drive.
Click on it and then click on the "E-mail this file" in the left side menu. If you need to send more than one photo you can click on the first one and then hold the Control key down as you click on the other images. Let the Control key up before you click on "E-mail".


Windows will open a small window usually at the top of the screen which offers to make the pictures smaller.

If you click on the "Show more options" link you can then choose the size of the reduced image.
I generally choose "Small (fits in a 640 by 480 window)". Choose the larger sizes if you want the recipient to be able to make a 4x6" print.

When you click OK your email program will open with the image or images attached.
