photo mailing size help

I don't know if I can get help here, but my pictures that come off my camera
are 2832x2128 size. (6mp camera) If I try to email them it won't work! says
file too large....
So I have to sit and re-size down each one seperatly.(640 sz.) Its a dumb
pain! any suggestions on what to do?? Is it my email that's 'dumb' or my
camera?

=================================
Resizing for e-mail is the best bet...
Don't adjust the settings in your camera...it's
best for your archived images to be full size.

Try the following Link

Windows Vista:
Working with digital pictures
Sharing Pictures
http://tinyurl.com/2rem47
or...
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...mspx#section_6

The following freebie can resize your images in a batch.

Re: photo mailing size help

Windows version?

Things to consider:

Attaching (or embedding) such a graphic file (pic) adds a ~35% markup to the
size of your email. So, e.g., attaching a 2.5MB pic to a 10KB message
becomes a 337.5MB email.

Most ISPs restrict emails to a max of 1MB (which is why your messages are
being rejected).

Most ISPs set limits on an account's mailbox. If the recipient's ISP limits
him to a, e.g., 2MB mail box max & you send even a 3MB email, the message
will be rejected.

Re: photo mailing size help

With XP you can Right click on a group of photos and select Send to mail
recipient you should get a prompt if you want to resize them.

You can also get utilities that will resize a group of photos.
Windows XP Image Resizer Power Toy (easily resize one or more images)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

It's normal for your camera to transfer the pictures at full size to
your PC.

Other options include using HTML format and use Insert Image instead of
Insert File as Attachment. WLM will resize the image as it inserts. Or
if you use Photo mail it can upload the full size image to a Microsoft
server and insert a small version in the actual message which the
recipient can click on to download the full size image.
