Make Your Pics E-Mail-Friendly
| When your photo is finally ready to send, be considerate to your recipient by resizing it for e-mail. If you attach a bunch of huge 3-megapixel images to an e-mail message, you can bog down your recipient’s in-box with a huge file. The message will take a long time to send and receive as well. Open your image editor and resize each picture first. In Paint Shop Pro, choose Image, Resize and shrink the photo down to about 640 by 480 pixels. If you have an older digital camera that takes pictures at this size to begin with, don’t worry about resizing–they’re ready to send. (Windows XP will automatically resize photos when you send them from the pop-up menu. The original pic remains intact and unreduced.) |
