until Elements is through and then type the address in the completed email before
you send it. If you're using one of these email programs and you don't select any
recipients, at the end of the email process, Elements presents you with a regular
email message, ready for you to address and send.
▪
Select Recipients
. Elements keeps a Contact Book—a list of people you regularly
email (or all the people you email if you aren't using one of the email programs
listed above)—so you can simply select names from the list. (The box on
Ele-
ments' Contact Book
has more about this feature.) If you haven't used Elements'
email feature before, then start by clicking the Edit Contacts button (the little sil-
houette just above the Select Recipients box) and entering your recipient's contact
info.
▪
Edit Contacts
. To enter a new recipient or change the information for someone in
your list, click the Edit Contacts button (the silhouette), and then enter the new
info in the Contact Book.
After you have the email addressed to the folks you want to share your photos with,
tweak the text in the Subject and Message fields, if you like. (You'll probably want to
get rid of the Adobe advertising—just highlight it and type what you want.) If you
aren't using Outlook, Apple Mail, or Entourage for Mac, you have to select at least
one recipient before you can go to the next step.

If you are using an email program other than Outlook (Windows or Mac), Apple Mail,
or Entourage, or if you're using one of those programs but you already selected recip-
ients, Elements sends your email. You never see the actual message, only a little win-
dow that says “Your files were shared successfully.”
If you didn't select any recipients, Elements launches your email program, creates a
new message, and attaches the files for you. You can then add recipients and edit the
email in the normal way, and then send it yourself.
