dakotah_jackson Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Have some nice photos in file sized up to 9mb. Have to get them to some editors and they say 'email them' as attachments. Problem is that with the sizes I have (and that is what they want) my email doesn't work. I have them as TIFF files and do the attachment to email thing in the emailing program and after 45 minutes they are still 'attaching'. Same thing an hour and a half into it. Never seems to end. I tried converting one to a jpeg to see if it was better but even with a 1.6mb jpeg it never finished 'attaching'. If I can get them to attach our computer speed is 24kbps at the fastest. Often it hovers around 2. (two) No faster stuff available where we are. Any way to get this stuff on email without taking 10 hours and having the computer shut you off during the long times?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwphoto Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I would convert the TIFF file to JPEG & hope you have a broadband connection. I routinely do this w/o problem & send photos from a 12mp DSLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_clark Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Do you have DSL or dialup service? I have a 10MB limit on my DSL service which limits the file size. A Client just sent me a Cover image that was converted to a jpeg and it printed very well when I saved it as a TIFF and 300dpi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You ever wonder how those AP photgraphers transfer hundreds of Huge files over telephone lines in remote locations to their downtown offices ? There must be a way ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickArnold Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 YouSendIt.com. Open their site and read the instructions. I may not have the capitals just right so google it. I just sent a couple of hundred of megabytes using them. It's free with some limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Webster Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I use FTP to send my large (30-50 MB) photo files to the printer. Any professional publisher should have an FTP server just for that purpose. Ask. My email won't let me send anything over 4 MB, which isn't a very large picture. <Chas> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_dunn2 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 <p>A water main can transport a large amount of water from point A to point B faster than a drinking straw can. There's just no two ways about it; if your Internet connection is glacially slow, it's glacially slow.</p> <p>Are there any Internet cafés in your area? If so, email 'em from there, using something like a CD or a USB key to transport the files from your place.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 This is another reason why it's smart to have your own web site. Just create a folder that isn't linked-to from anywhere else on your site. Park the file there, and e-mail a LINK to the file(s). The person receiving the e-mail will GREATLY appreciated how much faster their e-mail comes across, and then they can go fetch the file at their leisure, using the much more friendly HTTP protocol via their web browser. They can also forward the e-mail to someone else without that huge file, again, having to get uploaded, shuffled around, and downloaded through MORE e-mail servers. Just link to a file on your personal web site. It's quick, it's polite, and it also comes across more like you mean business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan_goulet Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I would put them on a jump drive and go to Kinko's or some other business/office type store that offers internet service. Even if you were to put them up on your own website, you would still have to get them onto the server which, with your internet connection, would take all night.

DickArnold Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 yousendit loads and sends in less than five minutes. You load directly into their server after converting to zip files. I sent my pictures from NH to CA and they were in a newsletter and web site the same morning. There were about fifty photos at about 150 MB. I sent them in two shipments as yousendits limit for free is 100MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourfa Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 similar to yousendit is sendspace.com, advantage being that sendspace has a percentage upload meter. the upload can take while so it's nice to know that it's progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_moravec1 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 File tranfer program, but he needs a web site to go to. This is best. Convert to JPEG, and attach. Post to Picassa albumn selecting large option, a free program, send the web adress to the photo guy. He can download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
