It is easy to accidentally send a photo or screenshot shrunk down too small to be useful to the recipient. Always check this setting before hitting Send.

It's not just email. The pictures some people post on Ancestry.com are the size of a postage stamp. When you attempt to enlarge them, they fall apart.

Hi, thanks for the video. When I send an email with images and PDF documents, all of the users outlook on windows receive many attach files with extensions .htm or other. Do you know how can I solve this issue?
Jorge: So you send a PDF document or an image (jpg) and your recipients get a .htm file? That's very strange. In Edit, Attachments, do you have "windows-friendly" selected?

Hi Gary. I notice you paste the pic into the body of your mails. You don't use 'attach file' to send images? I normally check my image(s) in 'Preview', use 'tools' 'adjust size' and then select 'custom 1920x1920' before sending as an attachment. This is a decent, useful size, isn't it? What are the pro's and con's of this compared to pasting in the body of the mail.

Hubert: You can do that. It is just a lot of steps and most people are looking for quick ways to do it.
Very interesting! Thanks.
