In-Depth Information
▪
Number of Items
. Indicates how many photos you've selected to send.
▪
Convert Photos to JPEGs
. JPEG is the best format for emailing photos, so you
can turn on this checkbox to have Elements make JPEG versions of the images
you've selected. (If the photos are already JPEGs, then this option is grayed out.)
If you want to convert only
some
of your soon-to-be-emailed photos to JPEGs, se-
lect their thumbnails before turning on this checkbox.
▪
Maximum Photo Size
. This setting tells Elements how large you want the
emailed photos to be. Remember that it can take a really long time to download a
large image with a dial-up Internet connection, and many email providers have a
10 MB limit per mailbox. If you need to change the size, then use this drop-down
menu to choose a new one.
TIP
Adobe recommends that you not send email attachments from Elements that
are larger than 10 MB. If you try to send a larger attachment, Elements warns
you about the size and suggests that you may prefer using a different sharing
method, but if you're sure it's OK to send the big attachment, you can just
click OK and continue. Most of the time, though, that's not a good idea.
▪
Quality
. If you're just emailing photos for viewing onscreen, then you can get
away with a lower Quality setting than you can for photos that the recipient is go-
ing to print.
Below these settings, at the very bottom of the panel, is Elements' calculation of how
large the attachment will be.

crosoft Outlook in Windows or Apple's Mail app or Outlook or Entourage on a Mac,
in which case you have the following options:

Do nothing
. If you're using Outlook (Windows or Mac), Apple Mail, or Entour-
age (Mac only), you don't need to select any recipients here. Instead, you can wait
