132749 2003-04-02 01:43:00 Hi, I am new to F1 I hope I can get this right. I have a problem with my epson scanner (1240U) and its direct link for scan to email. When I use it I get a generated email with 1 photo that is between 2 and 6mb's, wow, to big a file to send. Could you help me do what I need to so I can send them in a respectable size so I dont crash someones email account? Part of the associated software is Photoshop 4.0 Also, can you advise me on how to send photos as thumbnails via email
Grant.

132750 2003-04-02 01:50:00 A part answer is to scan at 75dpi, 100% size, and save as a .jpg.

The file size will then be about 50KB, quite of for email attachment.

Have a look here for tips on scanning:

with this program you can resize and resample very easily just by pressing Ctrl R and clicking the size you want. It is also fantastic at thumnails, bulk-conversion and renaming... in fact it does nearly everything. Photoshop is great at removing red eyes and food off your chin or any other fancy stuff.
