Are you having problems with attaching digital photos that are too large to be attached in your email message? If you do, then you better read the following steps on how to resize and email your digital photos using Windows XP.
1. Open the My Pictures folder.
The first thing you need to do is to open the My Pictures folder in the My Documents folder in your computer. In the My Pictures folder, select the digital photo or photos that you wish to resize and forward via email. You can perform the selection by simply clicking on each digital photo while holding the CTRL key on your keyboard.
2. Click the Email the Selected Items link.
After selecting the digital photos you wish to resize and send, you can now start emailing them by clicking the Email the Selected Items link on the File and Folder Tasks pane at the left side of the screen. The Email the Selected Items link may also appear as Email this File or Email this Folder’s Files, depending on whether you selected a single photo or an entire folder.
3. Select the Make All My Pictures Smaller option.
Following step number two opens the Send Pictures via Email dialog box. In the said dialog box, choose the Make All My Pictures Smaller option to resize the digital photos you wish to send via email. If you want to specify how small you want your digital photos to be resized, just click the Show More Options link. Click the OK button to move on to step #4.
4. Send the resized digital photos.
Clicking the OK button prompts Windows XP to automatically activate your default email program, open your compose message window, and attach your resized digital photos. You just have to enter the recipient’s email address, the email’s subject heading, and the message’s content before you can finally send the email.
