Emailing Images from ACDSee Photo Manager

September 11th, 2007 by Heidi

Did you know that it is really easy to email images from ACDSee Photo Editor? The email tool works with Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird (my favorite) and Eudora. Here is how to do it:

Just select the thumbnails of the images you wish to send.

The first time through it will take you through an email wizard. Here you can Add or Remove images or change Options.

Here are all the options that can be adjusted:

How do you know what to change the settings to? You need to consider the image size and what the emailed user is going to do with the photo.

• If the emailed user is just viewing a photo onscreen, then move the slider toward best compression and 600 pixels x 600 pixels is a good setting for reducing large images.
• If the emailed user wishes to print the photo, then move the slider toward best quality and increase the pixel size to about 1024 pixels x 1024 pixels. (That will maintain a good enough quality for printing a 4×6 photo.)

If you are getting email returned to you saying sender cannot receive that large of a message. Change maximum email size to a smaller number. If you are sending multiple images, then this tool will split the photos up and send multiple emails to the user.

After clicking Apply and Next, you will be asked how to send.

Most likely, if you are using one of the above listed software for your email, just chose default e-mail client and click Next.

The images will be adjusted to match your options that you chose and a blank compose email message will appear.

Just address, type in subject and a message if you want and click Send. It’s that easy.

The next time, it won’t use the email wizard but will take you from the first step directly to the last step. If you wish to change options, just follow these steps:

1. Do not select any images.
2. Go to File | Email Images
3. Click Next in the wizard.
4. Select the Options button.
5. And adjust settings accordingly.
6. Click Apply
7. If you are not going to email images, just cancel out of the wizard. The above Apply button will save the changes even if you cancel the wizard.
