How Do I "Shrink" Photo Attachments?
 

When I send a Photo Attached to an OE 6 e-mail it "defaults" out of My
Picture Folder when attached to the e-mail in HUGE size, taking 15+
minutes to Send with my Dial-Up?

How do I shrink/edit the Attached Photo where it is smaller but still
visible with some detail?

Thanks for any advice....

Re-size before sending. You need a graphics program - this is excellent
and free.

As Kath said, resizing is not done by OE. There are two basic ways to resize
a picture using a graphics app -- by percentage or by pixel size. A width of
500 or 600 pixels would be good for easy viewing by a message recipient. Be
careful about altering the original file (Save As a new file) if you want to
keep the original with full resolution.

Not only will you want to resize, you will also want to optimize your
graphic to reduce the kbs. The one I have used for several years is at
www.xat.com. They offer several...but select "Image Optimizer." They say
that it is a 30-day trial, but after 30-days, only the option to reduce gifs
is removed. The jpg option stays on your computer.

It's a visual thing that opens 2 images, the original and your work copy.
That way you can watch the compression and stop before it becomes deformed.
Save the copy under a new name, so your original remains in tact. I liked
it so well that I finally ended up buying it so I can compress gifs too.
