A. To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing etc
Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of you
folder

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it. This is it, nothin
to do after you install it. The way to use it is to right click on a phot
(or group of selected photos as described below)
Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selecte
photo files). When you right click on a photo, a menu will open
Click on Resize image on the opening menu
A window will open, select the size you want
New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but wit
the word (small) added
The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening men
after you right click on the file or if you see it, it may not work. If so
do the following
Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DL
and press the Enter key
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI
Also, you can download a free batch converter from here to resize picture
and edit photos

You can also do something else. This may seem complicated but just follo
the steps
Go to the Adobe site and download the free Acrobat Reader 6.0. With it wil
come Adobe Photoshop Album. If you are new to downloading, follow thes
steps so you can keep track of downloaded software applications

textbox: DOWNLOADS
4. Double click on the new DOWNLOADS folder you just made to open it an
click on File on the top bar and then on New and on the opening list clic
on Folder. A textbox will open showing New Folder. Type the following in th
textbox: Adobe Reader et
5. You now have the following: C:\DOWNLOADS\Adobe Reader etc on your har
driv
6. You are now ready to go to the Adobe site here
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.htm
7. Follow the directions and download. You will be asked to Save the file
When asked, browse to the C:\DOWNLOADS\Adobe Reader etc folder to select it
Downloading will proceed and when finished click on the button "Open th
folder". You then double click on the file in this folder to star
installing it. Follow the instructions on the screen
8. When finished, your Acrobat reader will be updated to version 6.0 and yo
will have a new icon on your desktop for Adobe Photoshop Album Starte
Edition
9. You can now use this to reduce file size and to make albums of photos
selecting the option of making a PDF album. This last option will let yo
take a series of photo files, convert them into an album and the file size
of this album will be very small. Perfect to attach to e-mail.
10. However, in order to view this PDF album, you need the Adobe Acrobat
Viewer.
11. To get it, make a PDF album and e-mail it to yourself. Open the e-mail
and you will be instructed to download this viewer. Download it in the same
C:\DOWNLOADS\Adobe Reader etc folder. Once the file is there, double click
on it to install it. When you send your PDF album to friends, they will
have to do the same thing when receiving an album from you for the first
time.
12. There is also another option under "Share" with this software. You can
upload your photos files to a server and from there send e-mail to your
friend to visit your album.
