Organizer streamlines sharing photos by e-mail. You can either attach photos to an e-mail or embed a photo
in an e-mail using Photo Mail. (If you plan to e-mail a project, see “
You can share files in e-mail in the following ways (regardless of the format, all tags, and metadata are preserved in
your e-mailed file):
Photo Mail
Enables you to use a wizard to embed your photos in the body of an e-mail message, with colorful custom
layouts (stationery). You can choose from a list of stationery themes and various backgrounds, frames, and borders.
The wizard also enables you to select photo size, stationery colors, text color and effects, and layouts. After you select
your options, Elements
Organizer automatically converts all images to JPEG, then generates the e-mail. You can send
Photo Mail through Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, or Adobe E-mail Service.
Note: The Photo Mail feature is available on Windows only.
Display a photo directly in the body of an e-mail message.
PDF Slide Show
Combines image and media files into a single PDF file. Your recipients can view the PDF file as a slide
show by using the free Adobe Reader software.
E-mail Attachments
Lets you send image or media files as individual e-mail attachments. You can specify the size of
the photo. You can also convert images to JPEG format if they are in a different format.
Before sending your files, it’s best to do the following:
Set your e-mail preferences
You can adjust the image size and compression setting so that photos download quickly
yet retain sufficient detail for online viewing. You can also choose to save files to a designated folder so that you can
manually attach them to e-mails. This option is useful if your e-mail application doesn’t support the automatic e-mail
attachment features.
Set up your contact book
Preaddress e-mail messages to keep track of whom you’ve shared photos with. Using the
contact book is optional. You can always address the e-mail from within your e-mail client.
After you’re set up and have created an e-mail, send the e-mail to share your photos and videos with friends and family.
