Whenever i upload photos from my camera to my computer, it automatically
saves each picture as the full file, usually 2+ MBs. How can I convert a
folder of pictures down to .jpeg size so i can email them? The Help/Support
Center doesn't explain how. Thank you.
 
What do you consider as .jpeg size?

When you hit the email Insert>File and choose your photos to attach you should
get the option to resize the pictures.

Or right-click on a photo and "send to recipient" should give same option to
resize.

See this google search result for more info.

You open a file in an image editor. Then you save it as a jpg. The size
depends on which
amount of compression you select.
Some editors can do this operation using a batch file.

===============================
You fail to clairify the actual format of the image
files. If they are RAW files, the following free
PowerToy probably won't work but otherwise,
I think you may find it to be quite useful:

I guess you're running WinXP or you wouldn't
be here...right?

OK, go to the following link and download and
install: ImageResizer.exe

Then 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 from the menu. You
can select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.
(Tip: *Never* overwrite your originals)

To insure that images in both portrait and
landscape orientation are resized to the
same dimensions...go to...Advanced...
and enter the largest number in both fields.
IOW...for 600x800...enter 800 in both fields.
