11 Sharing Photos
One of the biggest advantages of digital photography over traditional film
photography is the ease with which you can share your photos. Rather than
creating paper prints for everyone who wants to see your photos, you can share
a digital copy of a photo with an unlimited number of people. When you post
photos on MSN Photos, send photos through e-mail, or post photos on a Web
site, friends and family around the world can see your photos just minutes after
you take them.
If you have photos, share them!
Sending by E-mail
If you have a single photo to share, you can use Picture It! to send it to your
friends and family. If you want to send a high-resolution photo, Picture It! can
help you easily optimize the photo to be sent through e-mail, which:
■
Reduces the file size so that the photo moves faster through Internet
connections.
■
Reduces resolution so that the photo is sized properly to be viewed in
most Web browsers.
■
Converts the photo to the JPEG format, which can be opened on most
computers.
Picture It! uses the default e-mail program on your computer to create an e-mail
message with your photo as an attachment.
To send a photo by e-mail:
1 Open the photo so that it is in the workspace.
2 On the File menu, point to Send As, and then click Picture Attachment.
3 Click a picture size.
The file size of the resized photo is displayed, along with download times
for different types of Internet connections.
4 Click Next, and then click Put the project in an e-mail message.
A new e-mail message opens with your photo already attached.
5 Type your recipient’s e-mail address in the To line of the message.
6 The e-mail message will already have a subject and instructions on how
to open the photo. If you want, enter a new subject and additional text to
the message.
7 Click Send.
