Screen saver pic

I want to send a photo by email to my office and use it as a screen saver. I want the jpeg version of my raw developed photo to have the best possible resolution. What size photo can i expect to be able to email? ( I already know - "It Depends" please humor me)

Dear Folkus, Yes, there are a lot of "depends" raised by your question. If you take a raw picture, you can save it as a high resolution jpeg. The size of the jpeg is determined by your camera and the software you are using. Your email gateway has limits on the size you can send--usually around 10 MB. That should be enough of a file to print a detailed 13x19.

In reality, most emails can get thru fine at 20 MB. It is not a hard and fast number, sometimes a 22MB message will slide thru.

Most emails can get thru fine at up to a total of 20 MB. that is one big jpg!

Try different sizes and go with the biggest that gets through. No brainer.

20 rarely goes through.

For me 20 does, I use gmail, your provider may have things tightened down more

Use dropbox/googledrive and share the folder. That's the easiest and you shouldn't have an issue with file size then. Theoretical of course :)

I can send very large files, but others can't receive them. That is the limitation.
I am sure your Gmail is just wonderful but not everyone I send data to can get it in email so I use other things like dropbox.

How big is the screen that you want to put the image on? Make sure that the jpg you save is large enough to cover the size of the screen without distortion. Then that is the size of the email you need to send to your office. You can save the jpg for the screen at about 150ppi if you want to be sure that it does not distort, this is assuming your office screen may be larger rather than smaller. You don't need a 20mb file, that would be way overkill for a screen shot. Making the image larger rather than smaller will work out best overall. Save in a couple of different sizes and see which one works best.

Of course the OP also has the option of making use of a USB stick or drive to bring in a copy of the file, assuming his business allows for that.
It is also possible that for security reasons all email attachments into the business account will be disabled along with access to USB ports and services like Dropbox anyway.
Of course what you state is correct about file size limitations allowed for different email services, at one point years ago 10 MB was a limit used by many business accounts for their SMTP servers.

Just a note here, many businesses limit what sites you can go to on your work computer!
And even if you can go there once, their firewall may block it after that. That happened to me at a previous job. The firewall would learn and block based on surfing histories.
Although, my current employer uses Dropbox to store a good majority of their business files that they share on an intercompany basis.
Can't the OP upload the file from a flash drive?
After reading the rest of the posts, I do see mention that a flash drive might not be allowed. If this is the case, then uploading a picture also might not be allowed.

This sounds like the best answer to me. I have trouble sending large files through email or the receiver can't open them.
I like the Dropbox idea to send a JPG or the flash drive option to deliver in person (or mail).
We are not allowed personal screen savers where I work (in a hospital); but this topic still interests me for info on the best way to send a JPG.
