E-mailing Photos for Publication Submission

For print publication, the original, unedited, uncompressed photo files need to be sent as e-mail attachments. Do not use photo-share programs, such as Kodak Easyshare. Do not insert the photos in a Word document or in the body of the e-mail.

If the photos are on the memory card of the camera, insert the memory card into a card reader that�s plugged into your computer or connect your camera to your computer using your USB cable.

Then, right click on the Windows "Start� button on the lower left corner of the computer screen. Choose "Explore,� then browse through the drives that come up on screen.

When you find the correct drive, there will be a folder or folders that contain the photo files. These will be .jpg files.

Copy the files to your computer, either in a folder on the C drive or to your desktop. The important thing is to know where they are.

If the photos are already on your computer, simply browse for them within the e-mail program. However, please be sure the files are the original file photos--just as they came off the camera.

From the e-mail program, open a new message, choose attachment and browse through your computer hard drive or desktop for the file(s) to attach. These are general e-mail instructions, since e-mail programs vary in what functions are named.

Depending on the Internet connection, photo files may need to be sent with separate e-mails.

Select the file(s), then include the photo information in the body of the e-mail. Identify the people in the photo from left to right and give the photographer's name. Be sure to check name spellings.
