10.4: Resize images in Mail prior to sending
Authored by: rspress on Aug 08, '05 10:42:16AM

I was not aware of this little trick and I am sure I will be using it a lot in the future.

Despite it making bigger files I would still use Mail for a quickie resizing than firing up Photoshop just to resize an image.

I have made my own Automator actions to do resizing and format change, such as PNG to Jpeg and I have installed ImageMajick to do the same thing via the terminal. Both of those are faster than firing up Photoshop. However if it needed to be a quality job or if file size did matter then I would use Photoshop. For most of the photos I send out resizing in mail.app will do just fine since everyone I know has a broadband connection. Since I just got bumped up to 6 Mbps download speed I don't really care how big the pictures I get are.

I would say that this was a killer hint!
