Here's a good trick o' the trade. Everyone who owns a digital camera has come across this problem. This is my solution, it works well with multiple files. The file downloaded straight from the camera is too large to use for email and web. And launching a whole other program is just absurd! Rightclick the file(s) you wanna resize. Choose send to - mail recipient. Windows will ask if you want to keep original size or resize smaller. Click the show more options link to choose the on-screen size. 800X600 Works well for full screen. Once you click OK, windows will produce a new email with the resized imaged already attatched. Now go to File - Save attatchments and browse to your folder of choice or you can drag the icon(s) over to an open window. Now just close and dont save the email!


I'm sure most of you guys know this but if you don't, you're welcome
