pictures too large

Some of the emails I get have pictures that are much to large for me to
veiw.They are sometimes added attachments and sometimes included in the
email. Is there a way to shrink these photos so I can veiw them and print
them?

1. Save the pic to your HDD.

2. You can open the pic in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in an easily
viewable size.

3. You can edit the saved pic using your favorite image editing software
(e.g., IrfanView http://www.irfanview.com/; free) to reduce its size. Then
save the resized pic to your HDD and delete the humongous one (if desired).

[Folks who email such large pix are inconsiderate & annoying boobs IMHO. I
don't need a 3.5 MB email to see 2 pictures of birds at your birdfeeder and
I resent having to jump through the hoops of #3 above if I want to save
them.]

It is up to the sender to resize a picture before sending it. Since you have
already received them, save each to a user created Windows folder, (such as
in My Documents), and then you can open them with Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer. OTOH, you can also save them and resize them yourself.

If you constantly get pictures from the same person that are too large,
maybe you could forward the link to them as a subtle hint.

I have tried both blue five and irfanview and neither seems to work. Blue
tells me it is unable to open that type. it is .eml and irfanview won't even
acknowledge the file. Any other suggestions

You said the pictures were in e-mails. How did you save them? You need to
Right Click | Save Picture As and save it to a folder on your HDD. Then you
work with Pix Resizer or IrfanView. If you just save the attachment, the
programs will not recognize them.

Did you save the pic attachments to your hard-drive first (e.g., My Pictures
folder)?

An EML file is the email message with the attachment. You want to save the
attachment (e.g., JPG or JPEG file) to your HDD.
