Reduce the size of photos when attaching to an E-mail?
Hi everyone.
My digital photos are stored in "my pictures" on Windows XP. I attach them to E-mails but my friends keep telling me they takes ages do download because they are too large. How can I reduce the size without loosing the quality and then attach them. I'm not very PC literate so please make your answers as easy to understand as possible.
Thanks

Here is what you do. Right click on the picture that you want to send. A menu will pop up. Scroll down and chose "open with" and chose Microsoft Office and Picture Manager (I assume you have it, it comes with Microsoft Office pack) Next, the picture you want will open with that program. On top bar there will be different options like "file, edit view, picture". Click on "picture". Scroll down and click on "re-size" A bar will appear to the right. Here you can chose the picture resolutions like 1024 by 768, etc. Afterward click OK under "size setting summary" just below the resolution options. It should re-size it and make it much smaller in size (but not in resolution, unless you chose one that is small). IF you want to overwrite the original picture with the resized version, just go to "file" on top bar, and click "save". However if you want to save resized picture separately, and keep the original full-sized (I recommend) click on "Save As', name the picture how you want it, and click save. Then find the picture where you saved it, and attach it to email, etc. Just in case you do not have Microsoft Office and Picture Manager, You can use any other photo viewing software to resize and convert your pics. It may have a little different menu layout, but should have something similar to what I described above. Good lick!
