Emailing pictures

[rich p]

How do you make pictures small enough to email? Mine are stored on Picasa on my PC.
Do I have to I resize them and if so are they permanently resized?

Cheers

you should resize them. i'd recommend getting photoshop elements for this. it's simple to resize them, just remember to name them something different from the original.

it's even easier with iphoto on the mac, but as you're pc based i'll spare the details.

The basic rule that you should never ignore is to save a copy of your picture first. Before you start doing any kind of editing. Ignore this rule at your peril!

Then, yes, you can resize and crop to your hearts content.

OK. I'll have a go. Ta

Yeah - bye Luisa - see more of you next time

Bon Voyage.

(Hope you gave your 'employee' her P45 Rich... )

You could upload your photos to PhotoBucket (for example) and just send them the link to the picture. The file size then doesn't matter.

They can see all your pics then can't they?

Ape, the last one for your eyes only!!

Have you trimmed that bush recently ? (the one behind the chair of course )

If you want them to.
If not, then don't call them pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, pic3.jpg, pic4.jpg (ooh that's a bit fruity!), pic5.jpg...

Start a Picasa online album (through google account, if you have one). You can keep your albums private, and invite people to see single pics or a whole album. I've tried it recently, and it seems to work fine (I've asked peeps could they see owt else, and they said "no"). So you can have an album called "Damsels in the back garden" or some such.

'Photoshop Elements'? Just for resizing a few photos? What a bunch of pansies! That'll take forever if you have a lot of pictures to do.

This'll see you right:

mogrify -resize 1024x1024 -filter Cubic -unsharp 1.0x1.0+0.8+0.05 -quality 85 -format jpg +profile "*" *.JPG

Make sure you've taken a copy of your originals first though.

In all seriousness, for what most people use Photoshop for, GIMP is just as capable - and free to boot. But people tend to prefer what they're familiar with, I suppose...

Anyone else here use irfanview? It's free, simple and works a treat for image reduction, conversions etc.

And 4F too - what on earth could you have been thinking both of you?
