I am looking for suggestions for a better way to email photos. I seem to be doing more now. I typically email 3 or 4 at a time and it can take up to ten minutes to attach them to a Yahoo email. Any suggestions? A program to reduce the file size that doesn't cut in too much on quality? Another way than email to send photos? Thanks.

If you have Adobe Acrobat you can convert them to .pdf files simply and easily w/o losing too much quality. Also you might try zipping them with WinZip. Both work pretty well to reduce file size. Acrobat is a pretty handy program but expensive like all Adobe products (took lessons from Bill Gates or maybe vice versa). Others here might know of some of the more advanced programs around that might be better than these but they work for me.

Good luck with it all and don't stop sending photos around. We would be lost without them. Just send all the good ones to me. LOL

There are drop box services like rapidshare.com in which you upload the photos to them and send the link to who ever.

You can send two at a time.

Get away from Yahell (yes they are EVIL! If there is a Satan he lives at Yahoo) and perhaps use Google's free Gmail service I have sent some larger then normal files through the service. Most of the free email providers scan email both ways (incoming and outgoing) for nasties (viruses, spam, etc...) so that will add to the amount of time to upload. Also, if you have an antivirus it should also scanning incoming and outgoing email as well and that adds time as well. Each antivirus scan will add some time to your uploading.

If you have an internet provider they typically provide a number of free emails purr account you should then be able to use something like Outlook express to send and receive emails.

Get a fast internet service! If your on dailup that will take more time to upload to the web right there. Also, most DSL service limit the upload speed for providers not sure about cable modems though...

When you send email you are uploading to the web, and when you receive email you are downloading.

Just remember the larger the files the longer it will take to upload to the web.

I usually use Imageshack.us or Flickr.com to share photos.

Thanks, it was nice to receive a compliment. I didn't think anyone was looking. The photos are actually kind of fun. R gets a wicked glint in her eyes when agreeing to nude photos for the workd's premier castration site. Now, with luck, we can get variety from my expansive anatomy. The Perhaps, Yoli and Barry or even Marlene and her "to be."

IbPervert is right, stay away from Yahoo. Yahoo tracks EVERYTHING their members do (so does Google),..too much history to correlate here, evidence all over the 'net' if you'd care to,....look. Is that the only e-mail you use? Didn't your phone/cable company offer you a service on the line or DSL? Are you Dial-up?

You can get a quick and easy program to use for FREE called Visualizer. I use it for work and it really needs no directions. I've only had to help a couple of ladies, and I still don't know what they are doing there. I don't think they know,.....

Visualizer Photo Resize is a batch resizer, converts entire files / folders (JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TGA, TIFF, PSD, PSP). Like; "My naked pictures" or "Nudes", however you file them away,...You just search for the file, high-light it, click 'Open', and click 'Resize'. A 'Resized' file will appear in the original Folder where they all came from. Open that to collect what you want to send off somewhere.

http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/resize/. Go to the link on the left side of the page Get Visualizer Photo Resize >>

You should be resizing your pictures to e-mail (1200 x 900 - 1000 x 750) or web (640 x 480) pixels for space on your Hosts server. Yahoo has limits to e-mail sizes and attachments, so do all the rest (your ISP, for example). Where that might be, I do not know. Type "e-mail size" into your ISP or Yahoo's site search window, like on their customer service page for starters, to get to the 'FAQs' (frequently asked questions). Most only allow file types like; jpeg, png or tif images. Gif images can contain code (interpreted as a virus), so some hosts kick them. Visualizer allows you to pre-determine file types automatically (like jpeg, the safest picture file to send) and put your 'mark' on them (allow you to embed a text watermark in the batch process) (type-set icon like "property of...")..

Most photos appear to your readers as you would see them, so you don't need to worry about quality, these days, unless you are mailing to a dinosaur (an old machine). ZIP files are not accepted by everyone. Some folks don't have the properties to open a ZIP file (dinosaurs), so you need to know your recipients' qualities / abilities. If your reader wants the picture in it's original size, send it alone, as a '.jpeg', with just a title in the subject line, for 'speed'.
