learn how to optimize the file and send it once you've done that.
Why overload mailservers and mailboxes at receiving end with large files?
even if I need to send a 5"x7" tif image at 300dpi for a publication?
maybe you don't have use for hi def, I do for my business. sometimes send 7meg images. 2200x1700 pixels in tif format.
ms office picture manager has a "compressor" included. click edit pictures>compress pictures. This is not my idea of file compression, this just sucks out most of the pixels and sends an image at about 1% of original definition. true compression should save all the data, and write it into a smaller package.
I think jpegs are pretty well compressed data to begin with. a 7 meg tif file in jpeg is only about 800k.
