I have taken some photos with a large file
size and I need to sent these overseas via
email.

What is the best way to reduce these to
manageable proportions?

Please help, Frank

==============================
If you right click the image file and from
the menu...choose...
"Send To / Mail Recipient"
You should see a dialog that says...
"Make All My Pictures Smaller"

When you click...OK...a new e-mail message
should appear with the resized file attached.

If that fails to happen...

Try this:
(it may restore your resize option)

go to...Start / Run...and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.


Also...

There is a free PowerToy called
ImageResizer...you can download it at
the following link:

http://tinyurl.com/36n

After it's installed, you can open any folder
that contains images and you will have an
option to resize. Just right click the selected
image files and choose Resize Pictures.
You can select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.

BTW...when resizing if you go to...Advanced
Button / Custom...and enter 640 in each field...
that will be a good size for e-mail purposes.

Thanks, I used the email guide and this
reduced the images to 40kb approx.

I also downloaded the Microsoft "SyncToy" for
future use.
