Make Pic`s smaller in Emails

[w.bishop]

Hi can somebody tell me how to make Photographs smaller to send as attachments to email please

You could re size it with a photo editor, try one of the free ones in my Essentials thread.
I use Irfanview for simple resizing myself.

V_R Thank you for your sugestion. I used to have a box come up, that asked me if I wanted to make pics smaller or keep same size for emails, but it has disapeared.

Are you talking physical size or file size?

if file size resave the pictures as JPEGs or GIFs.

 

[w.bishop]

Hi Techy all my Photographs are saved as JPEGs, they are a large size taken with a 10 meg camera. I often send photo`s by email to friends, who do not have broadband, and I would like them to be sent to them smaller, so it does not take for ever for them to open.

 

[Techy]

have you not got MS photeditor installed, it comes with MS Office?

 

[w.bishop]

Reply to Techy. No.

 

[Techy]

Bish, you tried the above suggestion irfanview or whatever it's called???

 

[w.bishop]

Techy yes but too complicated for my purpose. I used to be able to send emails via attachments, a box used to come up asking if I wanted to send attachments smaller or normal size, but for some reason it has disapeared.

 

[Techy]

What email client are you using, eg, outlook, webmail etc?

 

[w.bishop]

To Techy. Outlook Express.

Open photos with windows picture and fax viewer>right click photo and send by email. Then the option box appears.choose what to do small or Large

 

[w.bishop]

Thank you itsme this is exactly what I want I am very much obliged to you.

I would also like to thank Techy for trying to help me also.

If you want to make the photos even more smaller, then try this

www.snipshot.com

You can easily save pictures in smaller formats, and fiddle around with other bits.

Just a suggestion if you want something more fun than what itsme suggested
