Nikon View does the same as drop box. https://www.nikonimagespace.com You upload and send a link to your specific library, from where the recipient can download any image.
Everyone gets 2Gb free. If you shoot Nikon you get 20Gb free.

Water marking is easy to over come, a better way is to encode in your photo a mark that is unseen for security purposes, that is if your are uploading in full resolution.
Or as stated above upload your photos in low resolution jpegs if you are worried someone is going to snake your photo's.

How do you encode an unseen mark that will help protect photos? Is this something that shows up when printed? Just wondering if it is unseen, how does it help...
This is something I would love to know more about.

One low-tech way is to use not really an "unseen" mark but pixels that appear not connected until you remove the pixels of the photo.
Pick a weird color - make a blank layer in PP - put a pattern of small dots on that layer - merge the layers. The photo appears unchanged BUT if you lay a template over the photo you can see the pattern. Proof it's your photo.

Just re-res (change the resolution) to 120 dpi and re-size them to 8X10 inches or even 5X7 inches as only a few monitors will display the 129 dpi as most are only 96 dpi. Do that and use DropBox to send a folder of the same reduced image files. Many people that share lots of photos use DropBox. The lower number or size of all photo images (which should accomodate your proofs) should work with the free version of DropBox, but res and size still should be used when sending images. There are other software apps that do same-Ish things. Good luck.....

You can find what you need to do on the internet some of it is free and some of it will cost you!

I recently took a series of photos to submit to a potential client as a portfolio sample for an up coming gig. When I tried to email them to the prospective client, my server kicked back the email stating, "DID NOT DELIVER." As I inquired I found the my images had too many megapixels. The only way I was able to submit the photos was to email them one at a time. Needless to say, I doubt if I'll get the contract. My question is this. To avoid this situation from happening again, Is there any way I can shrink down the images and what can I do to keep this from happening again?

Do not shrink them. Use a program, Hightail, to send them

You can also send huge files through messages (phone) or try drop box.

DON"T SEND LARGE FILES unless there is money coming the other way. Send small files and if they want big ones then use Dropbox.
IMHO

Or you can easily resize using Faststone Photo Resizer. Does batches and allows user to select size of reduced photo.

This is the internet. Are you saying you want to be paid for the answer?

You could put them in a Dropbox account (free up to a limit) and then provide the client with a link. It works well.

I had a similar situation with photos I took for a Leasing company. The easiest way to get the photos the size they wanted, 12x18 at 300dpi, was to put them in dropbox and email them the link to their photos. It's easy to do and the email is sent from within the dropbox folder.

I use Lightroom CC for all this type of work. I find it very easy to learn to do this, very flexible and lightning fast. IMHO! Best of luck.

Dropbox or post them online. I use Google Photos.


...as do I. Google Photos is slick. I'm getting to where I want out of DB only because of the escalating *size* of what I have up there, and of course the fact I'm giving them a hundred bux a year for that space!
