Likewise, you can send your last hike's photos as attachments. Or you make them shine with smart arrangement, light and framing. Windows Live Mail can host your photo exposition: it offers album options, uploads the high-resolutions photos to SkyDrive for full viewing and includes a neatly formatted album preview in the email, too.
Send a Photo Gallery by Email in Windows Live Mail
To compose a message with a photo gallery (also published to SkyDrive for full resolution viewing if you like):
- Open the Home ribbon in Windows Live Mail.
- Click Photo email.
- Find and highlight all the pictures you want to add to your gallery.
- You can add more photos — from a different folder, for example — later.
- Click Open.
- Format the album to your liking:
- Click Shuffle photos to re-arrange your pictures; note that you cannot drag and drop photos to change their order.
- Pick a different album format under Album styles.
- Click Album privacy to make your online SkyDrive album available for anybody to see or restrict viewing to email recipients.
- Use the Photo upload size button to choose the resolution of the photos online; photos in the email will always be downsized to fit size constraints.
- To add more photos:
- Click Add or remove photos.
- Now click Add photos to pick new photos for your gallery.
- Click OK.
- To remove photos:
- Click Add or remove photos.
- Highlight the images you want to remove from your gallery.
- Click Remove photos.
- Click OK.
You can also send images inline with Windows Live Mail without having them arranged in a gallery.
