Downsizing images to email

winwintoo · #1 05-04-2008, 12:23 PM

Can someone guide this Mac user to find a Windows app for a non-techie to use to downsize images from his digital camera so he can email them to family.

On the Mac, I know of lots of freeware apps that will do this, but not having any recent experience on Windows, I'm at a loss.

This person is far, far away, so software that is as easy as drag and drop would be best.

Thanks, Margaret

The easiest is a free download from Microsoft which will allow you to right click and resize photos for emailing:

Thanks guys, I'll pass those suggestions along.

Wonder why I didn't get these replies in my email, will have to check on that.

Take care, Margaret
