Hi
Sorry if this seems a stupid question
What size would you email a copy of a photo in hi res to a customer?
Thanks for looking
Alan
 
It depends on what filters companies set. I send emails with attachments to many companies and some will "kick back" at 2mb others 4mb etc.
Then when I try and split them down to send, they hit the spam filter (too many emails with the an attachment from the same address)

Not much help am I really :bonk:
 
Hi Alan. Find out if there's a limit to attachment size - I've run up against this before. I sometimes solve it by loading the image to The Cloud on my ME account and sending them the link to it. A 5mb jpg ought to be a reasonable 'hi res' for most purposes.
 
Hi res I send the highest possible size (in pixels) I can, usually jpeg at 0 compression. If there's a limitation with email size (sometimes 5mb) then I'll put the image on my website or only if really necessary will I compress the image
 
There is a way of sending hi res stuff, which I've used, but I can't remember the details of who provides the service. Basically you upload the image to a third party server, and email your recipient the details. In the email they receive, there is a link to the file which allows them to download it.

I'm sure someone will be along to tell you the name or provide a link to their site.

Look at DropBox.

You can post a link to the image. The client then clicks on the link and downloads the image.

Alternatively for clients that you send images to regularly, set up a shared folder for them. They then have a link to this shared folder on their computer. Anything you put into your shared folder is uploaded to their shared folder. I have several of these set up for specific clients. Saves a load of problems , especially when there are multiple files involved
