Sending images with an e-mail message


    When you want to share your photos and images with friends and family, you can quickly attach images to an e-mail message with the click of a button.

    Note: This feature works with your existing internet account and e-mail application. If you haven't setup your internet access and an e-mail account, your system may prompt you to do so. See you operating system, internet acess, or e-mail application documentation.

To attach an image to an e-mail message:

  1. In Photoshop Elements, open the image you want to e-mail.
  2. Click the Attach To E-mail button Attach To E-mail button in the shortcuts bar, or choose File > Attach to E-mail.
  3. Note: If you've made any changes to your image, Photoshop Elements prompts you to save your image before you e-mail it.

  4. If your image is not in JPEG format, is larger than 1200 pixels in either dimension, or includes properties that aren't supported by the JPEG format, the Attach To E-mail dialog box appears. Click one of the following:
    • Auto Convert to save a copy of your original image as a JPEG file with medium compression.
    • Send As Is to e-mail your image in its current format, size, and color mode.
  5. In your default e-mail application, a new e-mail message appears with your image attached to it. Enter an e-mail address in the To text box, and send the message.
