Want to share your images? E-mail them. Or, you can post them to the Web or
show them off with a digital picture frame or even try to sell them on a stock photography web
site. In this last chapter of How to Do Everything: Digital Camera, I??™ll show you how to easily
make your images available to other people.
Send Images via E-mail
E-mail is perhaps the most common way to share digital images with people who live far apart.
Not only is e-mail good for casually lending images to friends and family, it??™s also the medium of
choice for professionals. For example, when I create images for print in newspapers, magazines,
and books, I typically send the files via e-mail unless they??™re so large that e-mail is impractical.
So how do you do it? Sending pictures within e-mail is simply a matter of including one or
more images as attachments in your mail message. Attachments are binary files??”as opposed to
plain text??”that your mail program can deliver to another person??™s mail system.
Most of the time, attachments work just fine. Occasionally, though, you??™ll run into
problems sending images as attachments. That??™s because the original Internet wasn??™t designed
to accommodate the sending of binary files like pictures via e-mail, and encoding schemes
were ???tacked on??? after the fact.
