Photoshop Elements 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 About projects.)
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
-
Lets you
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, a variety of backgrounds,
frames, and borders. The wizard also lets you select photo size,
stationery colors, text color and effects, and layouts. After you
select your options, Photoshop Elements automatically
converts all images to JPEG, then generates the e‑mail. You can
send Photo Mail through Windows Mail, Outlook Express, or Adobe
E‑mail Service.

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.
- Flash File
-
Combines image and media files into a single Flash (.swf)
file. To view these files, the e-mail recipient must have a Flash-compatible
device (computer or mobile phone).
- Individual 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 set up 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 and
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, all you have
to do is send the e‑mail to share your photos and videos with friends
and family.
