I need help e-mailing pictures. The file is too big - even if I send only a few at a time. Thanks.?

Question

The pics are in jpeg. The e-mail tries to split them but nothing seems to work. I need to be able to do this for work.

Answer 1

Try changing the image format to Bitmap, u can do this with pain in the save as section, if that doesnt work maybe try making the image less detailed u can do this adobe photoshop, again when u save it u can change the detail of a pic and this will make it a smaller file. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

hi there


you can reduce filesize with image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro.

If you have none of these, you can also use Windows Paint for reducing image size. I recommend making it 50%, other formats will distort your image.

If you dont want to scale the images smaller you can use split the file into archives with WinRar (get it free from www.rarsoft.com). I use it to split large files when sending with yahoo mail.

Another way, just upload them to an FTP server.

good luck!

Answer 3

Use MS office Picture manager to reduce the size of the pictures. You will find this program here. It might not show up depending on the office version you have.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office

Click on "Edit Picture" and select "Resize"

P.S. What ever you do, please do not change the image format to Bitmap with due respect to previous answer. It will increase the size instead.

Answer 4

If they are in a folder (which is the best option to do!), zip them up and send them to your contact via http://www.yousendit.com/ which sends bigger files more easily.

Download WinRAR from here http://www.download.com/3000-2250-10007677.html
You don't have to pay even after the 40 day trial is over.

PS Previous response said to change them to Bitmap...please don't! It's easy doing it my way (sorry if I sound bigheaded but I've done this many a time!!)

Answer 5

ok so if u wanna do this for work, i hope u have photoshop. :) in photoshop, open your images. then, go to image size, and reduce it. when saving them, try to save them in low or medium quality (it will ask you, so don't fret) .
if this cannot b done, try gmail. send one picture at a time. or uupload ur pics at kodakgallery.com...
hope it helps you :)

Answer 6

Resize your pics into smaller size. 800 by 600 should be fine.
