What's the best format to use when emailing multiple pictures to someone? If I use a jpeg format I can only do Two at the most in a single email. If I use a RAW format, I have to use something like One Drive which takes forever to upload to send. I don't want to send so many emails it feels like they are getting spammed. The latest round I'm referring to is sending pictures of our house to our landlord.

You can downsize the file size. That should help with the speed.

Just curious.
Why would you send raw files to your landlord?
What is the landlord going to do with them?
Can't use them unless they are processed.

Ya got me on that one. I use PhotoShop CS6 and when I want to move a picture (save as), (export), it has a pop up that asks what jpg options I want to use and I can choose a small file or a large file. There's a sliding scale to choose what resolution, if that's the right term, that I want to use.

This might be a little off topic but it might be easier to host them (FREE) on GoogleDrive and then share the link privately. I have found this much easier at times especially when sharing many images with multiple people. Sharing a single link gets to them fast this way and saves a work.

Just create a folder and drag your images to that folder. Then right click on the folder and obtain a sharable link. If you have google mail, you have this option at your disposal right now.

Right on topic, in my opinion.
I use Google for sending photos.
Easy.....and as you said, "FREE!"

Do jpeg and set the size to no more than 1 mb. I usually send jpegs at less than 600 kb.

Jaheater - It is important to understand that when you send a RAW file, you are not sending a "picture", in the sense we normally understand that word. An image file in RAW format is just a collection of computer data that, when processed, becomes a photographic image. When you first look at a RAW file, you are seeing what your camera, your computer's operating system or what your post-processing software "imagines" the image to look like. It is a ficticious concept because there isn't any "picture" until you save it, whether or not you apply any editing, as a JPEG, a TIFF file or other graphic format. /Ralph

Make sure the recipient can view RAW files! JPEG is more common.
For image resizing, I use this (in Windows 7). It becomes part of the right mouse click options.
I don't know how compatible with Windows 10 it may (or may not) be.

More importantly, make sure the recipient can read a particular type of raw file. JPEG is a type of file, but raw is a collection of types, such as CR2 {Canon} and NEF {Nikon}. If you sent me a CR2 file, I might be able to read it, because I had a Canon camera 25 months ago, but when people here have posted a NEF file, it has been totally mysterious to me.

Along the same lines, if you use Dropbox, you can place the images in your Dropbox-Photos folder. Right clicking on the folder name will present a flyout menu, where you can pick "copy dropbox link" that you can use to paste into an email that you send to anyone that you want to share the images with. The recipient need not have a Dropbox account. They can view a slide show, and they can download the images. The only limit is the amount of storage in your Dropbox account. The free version starts at 2 gb, which should be more than enough for 100s of jpegs even full-resolution ones.

An additional thought: a raw file is incomplete; the benefit of creating raw is that you finish "developing" instead of accepting the work of automated "developing", which is the case in Straight Out Of Camera JPEG. Why would you send an image kit to someone???
