You can open I photo and choose to save for email which down samples to
photos from 300-600 dpi or more to 72 DPI which reduces file sizes to
manageable size for emailing

dpi is only relevant for printing. downsampling only changes the pixel
count.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

Thanks guys (and gal).

Had not seen the Preview -> Toopls Resioze image. Nor thought about
Iphoto having a resizing capability while exporting. That should do the
trick.
