Photos..600dpi converting to 96dpi when emailed HELP PLEASE Dee 7/5/2007 3:02:00 AM Sending manuscript with color photos to a book publisher. I received photos via email from a photograper friend. Viewing in My Pictures is great both received and when sent to other friends via email. (Explorer 7) All photos were converted in Digital Imaging Suite 6 to 600 dpi for submission. When emailed as attachments, or within manuscript, all are converting to 96dpi. They have to be minimum 300dpi for commercial printing. Publisher also converted pics to 300dpi at their end and returned to me to be inserted into manscript. The same result...converted 96dpi. We have also tried Publisher and Picasa with same result. Trying to get this cookbook to press...desperately need advise. We are all stymied. Thanks DD1225

Thanks DD1225 ============================ I would suspect that your 600 dpi files are several MBs each and may be too large for e-mail...especially if you attach several to one message. Try the following...open Windows Mail and click the Create Mail button. On the New Message screen click the Attachment button (paperclip) and browse to the folder that contains the files. Choose one and try sending it. Also it may be worth a try to upload all the images to a site like the following and send your recipients a link for down- loading the files to their hard drive. "YouSendIt" http://www.yousendit.com/ All you have to do is enter any e-mail address in the Recipient field and click the browse button to select the image you wish to upload. Then click the "Send It" button. The next screen that appears will give you the download link. Just copy/paste it into a message to your recipient. -- John Inzer MS Picture It! - Digital Image MVP Digital Image Highlights and FAQs http://tinyurl.com/aczzp Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk

RE: Photos..600dpi converting to 96dpi when emailed HELP PLEASE Dee 7/5/2007 5:18:12 PM Thank you for your input. The Publisher has been using this email submission format for quite awhile with no problem. It is only since the last major Microsoft upgrade that this problem has occurred according to them. It is not anything we are doing, as it is happening to other authors as well. There are indeed many MB's but the problem is the same even if each individual picture is sent as an attachment. The number of MB or KB does not seem to matter. I should have mentioned that my daughter has a Masters in Instructional Technology...for me to be stymied is easily understood, but not her......lol. Sorry I wasn't more succinct with my discription...I am using XP Pro. In addition, I have never encountered a problem of changing the dpi resolution before. If you have any other possible solutions, they are most welcome. "Dee" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Sending manuscript with color photos to a book publisher.

Re: Photos..600dpi converting to 96dpi when emailed HELP PLEASE Dee 7/5/2007 5:32:04 PM Thank you for your response. The Publisher has been using this format for quite awhile with no problems until they did a major Microsoft upgrade. Other authors are experiencing the same problem we are, so obviously this is a Microsoft issue. Sorry I did not give a more succinct definition of the problem. Also, my daughter has a Masters in Instructional Technology so the problem goes beyond basic info. Actually, it doesn't seem to matter how many MB's or KB's the pictures are in. Even attached individually and sent one at a time, they still convert to the 96dpi. Does anyone know of a Hotmail email issue?

How exactly are you trying to send these images? While you say you emailed them as attachments I'm not clear on what application you used to SEND the attachments and what settings you used. A normal email client won't change the resolution or size of any attachments. The usual problem is if the file is too big your ISP may refuse it or it could get refused at the destination or anywhere in between.

RE: Photos..600dpi converting to 96dpi when emailed HELP PLEASE Jonsey 11/19/2008 2:19:01 PM I'm having the same problem, and I've noticed that it has nothing to do with email. I scan my images at 600 dpi, and when I insert them into the manuscript, they convert to 96dpi. Does anyone have a solution?
