In the past, when I previously used the "regular camera manufacturer's image software," it was simple and easy, to take a selection of my "full size, high resolution," .jpeg images, and using that software, to then reduce those large images in smaller in resolution, (into smaller sized images), suitable to be attached to my (Comcast)emails, that I'd send to my friends and relatives.

I'd create a folder, (typically), on my desktop, to save the lower resolution images all to, and then I'd attach them, to my emails, in that folder, and send them out.

Now that I'm using Lightroom 6, I thought, that this powerful program, "must" have some "simple way", to Reduce .jpegs, in Resolution, and to do, the same thing, that I, used to, do.

Well, I have two books on LR, and I looked quickly, in each of them, and all, that I could find, that was close to this, was, "HOW TO "E-MAIL iMAGES USING LR."

This was a somewhat, involved process, and was very different, from what I was trying to do. I had wanted, to simply, REDUCE the Resolution of the .jpeg images, using LR and to save them, into a folder, from which I could then attach them, to my outgoing Comcast emails.

***To put them, into a place, where my Comcast Email Program, would be able, to access them, using it's BROWSE Function, which is only able to search for locations, on my Computer.

Can this be done with LR at all, or, must it be approached, using a completely different technique, and, if that is the case, what is the proper method, to getting it done? And, EXACTLY, How Do You Do It?

HOW DO YOU, TAKE YOUR IMAGES, THAT ARE IN LR, AND EMAIL THEM, SO THAT THEY ARE NOT TOO BIG, WHEN THEY OPEN THEM UP ON THE MONITOR?

Thank you, for sharing your knowledge.

CODEPLEX IMAGE RESIZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! external program installs in the O/S, resizes any picture file you choose in the system, OR A BATCH SELECTION. Get it here:

http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

Small file download from CodePlex. Installs easily. Then you simply select the file or files you want to resize by locating them in File Explorer, right click on them and there will be a new command in the "context" menu called "resize pictures". Left click that and a small dialog box will open with choices for small, medium and large, plus custom sizes. Be sure NOT TO CHECK the box to replace original, or you lose your large unmailable pix.

Been using it for years. No opening editing programs, No exporting, No hassle... just makes small jpegs perfect for email, in the same folder with the big files. Appends (large) (medium) or (small) into the file name.

NO changing your camera and forgetting to set it back to Large, Fine image settings. All done in the computer, without opening other software.

Image Resizer by CodePlex... the current replacement for what we used to do with the resizer from the Windows Power Toys suite. Gone now for a long time (WPT resizer).

There is no visible APP... it's in the O/S. That's the beauty of it... why have to open an app to resize an image. You never had to do that with the Windows Power Toys.

You locate the picture(s) you want to resize in your MY Pictures folders (which are still there in spite of Adobe). Then you right click on the picture file. You can select one or more selected images.

In the "context" menu that pops up there is a NEW COMMAND named Resize Pictures. You left click on that, and a new small dialogue box will come up with four image size choices. DO not check or choose "replace originals".

When the resizer creates the new smaller jpegs, it will place them in the original folder you went to find them.

This is as close to a minimal step situation as you will get. NO OPENING any editor, particularly Adobe Snail to Open products to get a simple small jpeg to eMail. No degradation beyond reducing the file size. Pick on of the three file sizes by pixel size.

I repeat, here and I said the same thing in my first post.

There is no application to open. The application pops up with the context menu as "resize pictures" when you make your right click selection of one or batch pix.

I often forget however, that many are not fluent with the vast operations of the right click button on the mouse or touch pad. Frankly I do not use, and I often disable, the touch pad in favor of the mouse.

That's a strong recommendation I make in all my Windows classes at the college. The touch pad was a huge mistake in it's development and comes nowhere near the functions a mouse can perform. Most laptops now have a two hot key function control to turn off the touch pad, or an actual switch.
