The Best Way To Send Photos
To Clients & Your Webmaster ...

Sure,
it’s okay to eMail up to 5 (perhaps 10) small images from your
computer to another via eMail, if you know these are very small images
and are not LARGE IMAGES.
But,
as a rule, it is NOT recommended that you send any image through eMail
if that image (or group of images) is larger than 1MB EACH! Gosh, what
do you do then? How will you send your images to someone else (for viewing,
or other purposes) ...
Example:
You have 20 images you need to send to your webmaster (or visa versa;
to your client), what’s the best way to deliver those images across
the Internet?

SCENARIO
#1 = Upload The Images To Your Website Server |
If you’re a webmaster, create a folder on your client’s
web site server, upload your files to that folder, and send your client
a simple link (via eMail) to that folder where they can view all those
images and voila!
 |
SCENARIO
#2 = Use a service like YouSendIt.com to send images online ... |
You can use a free service called, www.YouSendIt.com.
Large file transfers (of any kind: audio, video, picture graphics, text
files, web files, etc.) are quick, easy and secure with YouSendIt. Their
easy-to-use interface sends your sensitive information online safely.
The recipient is sent an eMail with a link where they can click and
download the file you just sent. It's a great tool for sending one file
at a time.

SCENARIO
#3 = Burn your images to a CD-Rom or portable USB drive ... |
You could burn them to a data CD-Rom and deliver them on CD via regular
postal mail. That’s really your best option if you have (a) A
LOT of images that are (b) HEAVY in size. If you scanned 50 images and
each image was 1MB, you’d have a total of 50MB worth of images.
You can’t send that through the eMail and the time it might take
your client to download them, you might as well just pop ‘em on
a CD-Rom and send it to them through regular postal mail.
