Resizing Digital Photos for E-mail in Windows XP

Published on: February 29, 2008 in Photos and has 2 Comments

Once in a while I will get several digital photos as attachments in an e-mail, and the photos haven’t been resized. This is a problem as photos from a digital camera are usually 2MB and larger, which is quite big to send in an e-mail. Add to the fact that there are usually several photos [...]
