Resizing question.

[tko187]

Hi guys, i want to know how to resize pictures so i can send by email, straight out the camera the files are too big and take up too much space and take ages to send, is there a easyway to do this anyone?? Also i know that outlook express gives you an option to resize suitable for email but i am using gmail, i want the resize not to affect the quality of the pic. Thanks.

Ok - numerous options ... out of the camera - not much to do, but on computer (sry if i mess i few up -i have Mac)
---- 1. Get a PHOTOBUCKET (http://www.photobucket.com)or IMAGESHACK (http://www.imageshack.us) account to resize images to 640*480 or lower
---- 2. or pay for a Smugmug / Flickr etc account and host your images at the same time
---- 3. Find a resize program (put your landscape images to a folder and resize the lot) and portraits in another folder.
---- 4. Photoshop does this too. Image>image size>(adjust-i use width 800px)>file>save for web>as jpeg
Then viola - your 3mb image is now around the 100kb size (great for adding watermark too)

Hope this helps - sorry cant direct you to a resizer but wouldnt know the name for PC's
