E‑mailing photos
You can e-mail photos directly from any Corel PaintShop Pro workspace.
You can e-mail items in the following ways.
• Embedded photos — You can embed photos so they are displayed in the body of your e-mail message. This means that the person who receives your e-mail can see the photos as soon as the e-mail is open. Embedded photos only appear in e-mail that uses the HTML message format. This is a standard message format, but if you know your recipient uses plain text or Rich Text Format (RTF), use the Attachments option.
• Attachments — You can send photos as file attachments. Each item is attached as an individual file, the original file format is preserved, and the e‑mail recipient can choose how to view the photos.
Choosing a size for your photos
You can resize your photos to reduce their dimensions or to reduce the overall size of the e-mail. For example, you may want to reduce the size of a photo so you can send it to a mobile device. The Maximum Photo Size setting lets you choose the maximum width of the photos in pixels without affecting the proportions of the image. For example, if your photo is 2048 pixels × 1536 pixels, and you choose a maximum photo size of 640 pixels, then your image is resized to 640 pixels × 480 pixels. The dimension information for each image is displayed above the preview thumbnail in the E-mail dialog box and the total e-mail size estimate is displayed beside the preview thumbnail.
E-mail application
To send items using e-mail, you must connect to the Internet and your computer must have a default e-mail application that supports the MAPI Standard (such as Microsoft Outlook) and be configured to use the MAPI e-mail client.
To e-mail photos
1 Choose File E-mail, and choose one of the following options:
• Active image — lets you send the photo that is currently active in the image window
• All open images — lets you send all the photos that are open in the image window
• All selected items — lets you send all the photos that you currently have selected
2 In the E-mail dialog box, choose one of the following options:
• Embedded photos — displays photos in the body of your e-mail message
• Attachments (original file format) — sends photos as individual file attachments. This option preserves the original file formats.
3 Choose a size setting from the Maximum photo size drop-list.
The total size of your e-mail is displayed beside the preview.
Some e-mail providers limit the size of e-mails, which could prevent large e-mails from being sent or received. You can reduce the size of the e-mail by choosing a smaller Maximum photo size setting or by selecting fewer photos.
The Embedded photos option is available only for e-mail clients that support extended MAPI, such as Outlook.
You can review the items you are sending by clicking the playback arrows that appear under the Preview thumbnail.
