sending photos in emails
9 Answers
I need to send a lot of photos in an email but they are taking forever to send and are massive when the recipient opens the email.
Is there some way that I can send them in a smaller format/way. Even better, I have them all in one file saved in "My Pictures" - is there some way that I can send the whole file instead of individual pictures?
Not too complicated answers please!
Thanks

Basically, you upload you're file to them and they give you a link to that file.
You then send that link to all the people you would like to have a copy of you're file and they download it.
Just google 'file host' or a popular one is 'rapidshare'
These are free but they will try to get you to sign up for a premium account which offers unlimited etc. etc. etc.
Hope this helps.

What does the user that you are sending the files to want to do with the photos.
If they need to be printed, the will need to stay at high resolution.
If they are for a presentation or for the web, they can be reduced to low reolution.
It is also possible to compress the folder with all the photos in and send just one .zip file.
