Stand corrected on that one then. Been a while since I've considered any of the different compression types (lossy, lossless...) but had assumed the zip compression would still assist. (Personally most image files I send are through ppt's so never really noticed as the overall ppt is reduced in size)Note that zipping most image files is unlikely to reduce the size since they are already compressed! The exception would be something like RAW image files which are not compressed.
This should be easy but I can't attach a photo to e-mail. The prompt says "file too large". The camera was set at max. resolution - 6m - when photos were taken. Is there a way ?
Thanks. Dave
I use Picasa for photo editing, filing, viewing and emailing. It automatically reduces the size of the photo and you can send multiple photos on the same eamil and it's Free.
Download from here - http://picasa.google.com/
Does the recipient need to have downloaded Picasa in order to view the photos?
Huh!?Can you not just hold it up to the screen and press <send> ?
No, but the link is added to the mail when sending if the recipient wants to download it.
On another point, picasa usually creates the subject topic - something like "3 pictures attached" so unless the recipient knows the sender they may not open the mail.
