YOU'VE TAKEN GREAT PHOTOS, NOW SHARE THEM WITH THE WORLDNothing puts a smile on someone’s face faster than a great picture. Keep in touch and share your memories. Whether you prefer to upload pictures on your blog, or send them via email or through snail mail, getting your images to friends and loved ones has never been faster or easier.

To send photos via email:
- Reduce file size: Crop and resize your image to 800x600 pixels or smaller.
- Save as jpeg: This is the most common photo file format used online.
- Attach three images or fewer per email: Some mail programs will not accept messages with more than 3 attachments.

| Click Tip: Many mail servers will reject a message that’s larger than 2MB, and even if they accept, your message could clog up the recipient’s in-box. Be kind — reduce file size.

Make Online Albums

Print Photos
Print photos and share them! Printing photos is still one of the best ways to share your memories. Show them to your friends, send them to grandparents, keep them with you to show off your children or recent trips. Not sure who “they” are but “they” say a picture is worth 1,000 words!
