Help, what is the best way to attach digital photos, here and in emails, so they don't take ages to download, attach or appear humungus? I am sooooo not technologically minded, (if I turn it on and it works I know I'm doing okay) is there a safe program out there to do this? Do I have to download something? did I not read my digital camera instruction book correctly? All of the above? All help would be greatfully appreciated. Ps please use simple words, I am so right brained at the moment Ta LW

To do it on your own pc, you could download picasa. It's a photo editing package that's easy to use and very useful To do it without downloading anything, you could try setting up a photobucket account. Once you upload a pic onto photobucket, it will allow you to edit it and resize it.

I agree with Meridian...I use Photobucket all the time! It's user-friendly and free!

Look for IrfanView its a freeware imaging software that's great for resizing and editing digital photos.

Yeah - I use IrfanView to re-size pictures. It's really easy - you just pt in the size you need it or select one of the pre-set sizes and it does it all for you.

I also recommend Irfanview -I use it for all my image resizing, cropping, rotating etc.

Yeah I add the nod to Irfanview. It's so lightweight on resources and loads quickly, plus you can do all you need to a photo.

I suddenly feel bad for using Photoshop.

I use Photoshop for lots of things that Irfanview can't do, but for basic resizing and cropping, I find Irfanview simpler (and Irfanview can open Photoshop PSDs -also handy).
