Is there a simple way to email large photos?

This is something I'm just not familiar with. Step-by-step instructions would be very helpful. I'm using a computer with Windows XP, plus I've downloaded WinZip so make the photo files smaller. Is there a way I can zip several photos, put them into one file and send? This is for business purposes and I'm getting very frustrated! HELP!

    You can use an online storage to keep your files, making it easier to send to friends and associate across the internet.

    Online storage includes:

    www.flickr.com

    Some email servers have limits as to the size of attachment you can send through their system, such as msn, etc. Yahoo and mail.com, gmail, and mail2world allows a large attach to be sent.

    You can also shrink your image files before zipping them. Remember that bmp, png and tiff format are largest. For online purposes its best to upload jpeg, cause they are the smallest.

    How To Email Large Photos

    WinZip isn't just for compressing one file. You can add several photos to one WinZip file, then send that one file in an e-mail to the person.

    In Windows XP, right-click on the photo file, go down to "Send To" in the popup menu and choose to send to a "Compressed (Zip) folder". It will create a compressed zip file from that first image (in the same folder that the file is located). You can double click on that zip file, then drag and drop other images into it. UPDATE: If you have the full WinZip program, you can use the "Add" function for a zip file too.

    You will have check with your e-mail provider regarding the allowable total size of attachments in one e-mail. I think it's likely 10 to 20MB for Yahoo, depending on your status.
