----- Original Message ----- > Subject: How do you e-mail scanned material? it is easy, just remember to keep it simple. My scanner is an HP 5370C and it does everything that I want it to do. 1. scan the material into your computer and save it as a JPG file unless I'm going to print the material, then I save it in the largest file that I can print. I then print it and usually delete it or save it to a CD. but not on my hard drive. big photos can fill up a hard drive in a hurry. a CD burner is a must if you want to save everything and then you can move it to other computers for work. 2. I then bring it into Photoshop, but you can use PSP or some other program that lets you resize your sannned material. I also adjust my material, i.e. crop it, lighten or darken, "burn" the edges, etc. 3. resize it to 72 megapixels and save it. The reason that you save it as 72 mps is so that the email will not be so large that it will take forever to send and receive. 72 mps is the smallest file that you can save and make it look just great on the computer. If you are sending a photo that you want the receiving party to be able to print it, then you should save it in the largest file that party can print it in. . . . such as . . . 300 mps and as a TIFF in lieu of JPG. 4. the program that I use lets me send it as an attachment. Is that as clear as mud? LOL If you have specific questions that you don't want to discuss in the group, just send me email direct and I will try to help you. Jake
