marco772 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hello, I took my new 13MP camera on hols with me and now realise that the drawback to having such detail is that the photos are all REALLY big! This is fine but for the ones I want to email! Each photo is about 2mb. Even when I put it into mail they are still about 500kb. Is there any freeware or tricks I can use to make them smaller in file size without making them tiny tom look at? Sorry it's a bit of a rookie mistake but any help would be of most interest!

macminiguy Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Try Tonido Photos or Tonido webshare. You don't need to worry about uploading or mailing them. You can share photos directly from your own desktop.

And what sense does it make to send several 5 to 10MB files over as an email attachment if people will just end up looking at them in a 1024x768 preview (or smaller) window, hmm? That's like taking your Hummer out to check your mailbox every morning.
