I have compressed a file using the windows "file"/"properties"/"advanced"/Compress option, and it will only just make it if I send it through my Yahoo e-mail accountwhich only allows 3mb total.(It is to be printed by a newsapaper.)

How can I get an e-mail that will allow me to send 3-5 MB through the e-mail? How do people usually do this?
I don’t think I can compress it in Photoshop any further and retain quality. I saved it as a jpeg as they have worked well for this newspaper before.

Two ways. Change your ISP (outgoing mail server) to one that allows large e-mail attachments. The other is to upload the file to a web site and send a link in your e-mail for it to be downloaded. That’s how I would do it. I never send large e-mail attachments as it screws up peoples e-mail if they’re on a dial up connection.

Thanks Larry
Does that mean I will start my own website, and they can just download the image if I put it in their? Is there somehthing special I have to do to allow them to download it from the website?
I’ve heard about something called FTP, or something. Is this related?

If you’re submitting it somewhere specific, ask if they have an FTP site and they’ll give you the URL, username and password. You will need a program like WSFTP to upload the image.

Or maybe your ISP offers free web space. You’ll need the FTP program for that also.

Not to but in, but if your ISP doesn’t offer or limits a free web site, here is a pretty good place to get hosting account and domain name for the lowest prices I’ve seen. Good support to. You would still need a program to FTP the files as Larry was saying and like him I like WS-FTP

I was doing something similar, trying to send large attachments to email and it was more trouble and time consuming than it was worth. I just put them on a web site for downloading just like Larry said and problem solved.

Good Luck

You should still use something like Winzip to protect the .jpg from corruption during up/download.

Correct, but no need for Winzip with XP.
