how do i make my jpeg pictures smaller to send in a email?

Answer 1

right click the pic, send to, mail recipient, itll ask you to make it smaller, hit ok and it does it its self

Answer 2

You need to work on a copy of the original photo, re-size it and save it as a jpeg. To e-mail it should be well under 1 meg in size, just out of courtesy to the person you're sending it to. If you both have Windows XP you can also aip it by right clicking on the file, and select send to - zipped folder.
Theres a great freeware program called 'Irfanview' which has more tools than Paint and will also let you deal with red eye and do a few other tweaks.

Answer 3

Open them in Paint (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint)
Click on Image
Select Stretch/Skrew
Stretch to 50% both horizontal and vertical
Save them (If you want to keep the original full size pictures, do a save as and use a new filename for the smaller version of the pictures)

Answer 4

For greater control over images, use something like Faststone photo resizer or Irfanview - both are free

http://www.irfanview.com/

You can use an online tool

Or install the Microsoft Power Toy Image Resizer
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

this will add a resize option to the right click menu

Answer 5

what i do is open the image in Adobe Photoshop and click 'Save As..' this will then give you an option to reduce the file size (compression). Although the image quality will also be reduced - it is good if you are just sending pics to be viewed but not good if you want the recipient to be able to print them.

Answer 6

Install this power toy in my source, it will integrate with your windows shell and you can simply right click on the jpeg file and resize it.

Answer 7

outlook will do this for you

open the folder select the pics you want click email on the left hands side and select resize, then the email application will open

or just resize them in photoshop or a similar program

Answer 8

I open mine in the standard paint program ant then I go to image streatch skew and redue the vertical and horizontal by 50% and save it. If its still to big do it again

Answer 9

re-save the file using adobe photoshop (or some similiar program) to change the compression ratio.

Answer 10

Use this trial program, it works very well without reducing quality too much.
