Please send your photos this way instead of using an online photo sharing web site like Yahoo. Most of the free services don't allow a high-resolution download. The photos look great on the monitor, but won't print very well. Especially in the 8 x 10" size.
Here are some instructions for how to send photos without compressing; I know this works for Windows XP, but I don't remember if it works for other operating systems. It probably does. Try it! You might want to send just 3 or 4 photos per e-mail because some e-mail systems choke on large e-mails
1. RIGHT click on the START button
2. LEFT click on EXPLORE
3. LEFT double-click on the folder that contains your photos. (This part is not necessary, but it makes it easy to select which photos you want to send - If you don't see a miniature version of your photos (called thumbnails), LEFT click on VIEW at the top of your window, then LEFT click on THUMBNAILS.)
4. LEFT click on a photo you want to e-mail. To send multiple photos press and hold the CTLR key while clicking on the photos you want to send. If you select a photo you don't want to send, simply un-select it by clicking on it again.
5. With your cursor on any of the photos you selected, RIGHT click and move your cursor to SEND TO, then LEFT click on MAIL RECIPIENT. Windows will ask if you want to make all your pictures smaller. If sending your photos to me to be made into a photo cutout, please select "Keep the original sizes".
If sending pictures to a friend so they can see them and they don't require high quality prints, you can select "Make all my pictures smaller" and the download time will be much shorter and the photos will fit in their monitor without scrolling.
That's it! Windows should open your e-mail program in a new-message window and already attached your photo(s). You just have to address it to al@photocutouts.com and send it.
