Try the following:
Have your mail program running. (Saves time later)
Go to the folder containing the picture you wish to re-size.
Highlight just two or three of them for now. Right click on the group
selected, and from the menu which comes up, select "Send to:". From
the next menu, select "Mail Recipient".
A very simple dialog will come up which contain a drop down list of
sizes, and below that the estimated size of the total of the resultant
files.
Select a size you feel should be O.K., and click the O.K. button.
A mail message should pop up with the files attached. Send it to
yourself and see what you think. If you are not happy, try a different
size.
I do this regularly to reduce the size of pictures to be uploaded to
web sites, and find the results more than satisfactory.
Note, this does not re-size the dimensions of the picture, merely the
resolution. These is a re-size option in the first menu for changing
the physical size.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Accessible batch photo resize application please?
Hi,
I'm sure many would agree that access to graphics-related tasks has
got to
be one of the more challenging aspects of being VI. Up until now I've
been
fortunate to be able to use packages such as Photoshop, etc.
However, now partly due to screen reader incompatibility and partly
due to
my systems still recovering from major intensive care treatment 'grin'
I was
wondering if anyone could suggest something to help with the
following.
I'm looking for a free application that can batch resize some photos I
want
to send to friends and family by e-mail but maintain their aspect
ratio.
I've come across a few that do the former, but they all leave the
photos
looking like the photographer was squinting at them through a very
long
telescope (pardon the analogy).
If anyone can help that would be great. Also, if anyone here is
familiar
with graphics, what size would you consider reasonable for landscape
photographs originally taken at 5MP (2536x1944 pixels) for sending by
e-mail
but still looking decent?
Thanks very much. Appreciate you're all probably wanting a break in
time
for Christmas, but would really welcome your input.
