How to Send Pictures by E-mail

With the growing popularity of the digital camera, many people are taking pictures and attempting to share them with their friends and family online. Many times, this is met with frustration because the pictures have such a large file size that they overwhelm many e-mail servers.

What you need to do, is create a smaller version of the picture to send via e-mail.

If you are using Windows, there is a fairly easy way to do this...

1. Open your "My Pictures" folder by clicking on "Start" and then "My Pictures".

2. In your picture folder, find the file you want to send by e- mail.

3. Right click on it, point to "Send To" and then click on "Mail Recipient".

If you want to send more than one picture, you can highlight a group of pictures by dragging with your mouse, or click on the first picture, hold down your shift key and then click on the last picture.

4. A small window will appear that gives you the option to make your picture smaller, or keep the original size. Just chose "Make all my pictures smaller" and then click "OK".

5. This will open up an e-mail message with your smaller picture already attached. All you will have to do, is fill out the rest of the e-mail and send it.

The nice thing about this method, is that your original picture is not changed, Windows just makes a smaller copy of the picture and sends it.
