Hi Craigp,You have a very high quality photo there. Instead of resizing
the photo, I think there is a loss of quality when one does, just send it as
it is.

This is not usually the best option. If the recipient wants to print the
image, then fine, but if the image is several megapixels and is only for
display on a computer screen, then it should be resized so the recipients
are not subjected to huge message downloads, just for a simple image.

Irfanview works fine for that. www.irfanview.com

People need to respect those to whom they email and not clog up their inbox.

The problem with sending any attachment is that the attachment must be
encoded as text.
This adds 33 1/3 % to the size.
If the picture is 1 MB, then the size will be 1.33 MB.

If everyone had DSL or cable, the size wouldn't be a problem.
Send a resized photo. They can always ask for the higher quality photo.

|
| If you send as an attachment, the receiver as you say, will see the
actual
| size. Just tell them to click on the paper clip, click on the
attachment
| and it should open in their Imaging program.
|
| If they have Windows XP it probably will be Microsoft Window Image and
Fax
| Viewer.

|
| The photo will display as "best fit" on their screen. Because you sent
a
| very high quality photo they have the privilege and fun of zooming in or
| out
| and/or other options available.
|
| If you embed, insert the photo into the email, one would have to save it
| to
| their Picture folder, then when opening would display in their imaging
| program.
|
| Just some thought's,

| | You have to resize a photo before you insert or attach it.
| |
| | If you don't have a photo imaging program, it can be done with Paint,
| | (somewhat crude), or download IrfranView, (freeware). A nice little
| program
| | that will take care of this.
