I am using the gmail web client and I just sent some pictures but they were 7mb, is there any way to reduce them while attaching them? I used to be able to do that with Outlook but I need to keep personal and work emails seperate...ay ideas?

You could put them in a zip file and upload that.

OK so which one do I pick? Its been way too long since I zipped something

You could use Picasa and send a link in the gmail.

pick the first option "add to zip file". just remember where you save the zip file.

Zipping does not reduce a jpg file very much. Not sure about other formats.

I usually just open my pics in photoshop and resize them to something smaller and save them as a medium quality jpg.

I used picasa but it sent them full size, maybe there is a way to reduce them there?

[js73]

Picasa/tools/options/email/output options, resize

[lschul]

Ah, that won't save them to that size, it will just reduce them to that size for emailing right?

[js73]

You can resize the pictures by exporting them.
