E-Mailing Old Photographs.

[derekpara]

I want to email three 60 year old black and white photos as attachments in such a way that doesn't result in too much degradation of the images. Can anyone please advise in fairly simple terms ?

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird with Windows 10.

Cheers.

Are the photos already in your Pictures file? If not, you should scan them into your Pictures file, and start from there.

No, they're not at the moment but I can do that right now. Thanks, bb.

Scan your old photos ..
Compose or open up a new email ..
Where you see the paperclip at the bottom of your email.
Click on the paperclip ..
Select the file where your photos are stored ..
Choose the image you want to send and double click on it ..
The image should now be attached to the email ..
Repeat the process to attach more photos, to the same email ..

To check if you are doing it correctly .. just send yourself an email .. as in put your email address in the box where it says .. recipient. Then just click send.
Then go to your inbox and you should see an email from yourself.
The contents of the email will be displayed as others would see it were you to send it to another recipient .

Scan with maximum resolution to minimise degradation and maximise file size.

Upload them to Google Drive, then email a link instead.
