The images don't need a drop shadow, so I recommend un-checking that box. The other options I change are pointed out by the arrows:įor Quality I recommend 70. (You can also enter other numbers in these boxes, but it's usually not worth the effort because picking a standard size is so fast. As you see below, choosing the 1200 x 900 option from the pull-down fills those numbers into the New Size boxes. This will create an images that fills most of their screen, but because of the compression will have a small enough file size to avoid problems, even on a dial-up line. I would recommend choosing either 1024 x 768, or if you know your recipient has a monitor with higher screen resolution, I recommend 1200 x 900. I recommend using the Standard Size pull-down: The first thing to do is pick a maximum size to make the images.

Once you change them FastStone will remember your preferences, and from then on, is click on either the "Send Email" or "Copy to Folder" button (depending on the Email program you use). The very first time you use this tool, there are several options I recommend changing. This will bring up a dialog box like this: Once the images have been selected, click on the Email icon on the Control Bar (or use the shortcut F6). Here 3 images have been selected (FastStone outlines selected images in blue): The original images take too long to send, we can only attach 2-5 without exceeding the attachment size limitations of our ISP, and even if they go through the recipient complains that all they can see is some sky in the top left corner of the image.Įmailing images resized, compressed images couldn't be easier using FastStone.įirst select the images you want to send. Most of us have high resolution cameras that take 6-21 Mpix images we want to eMail images to friends, but sending images at that resolution is usually a disaster. The second favorite FastStone feature for most people, after the full-screen Viewer, is Email.
