The Best Way to Email Digital Photos

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

This is our first blog post. In this blog we hope to share some best practices that we have learned over time about how to best use Photolightning. We’ll be covering a variety of topics in this blog to try to help out our users. Let’s get started.

One of the more popular features of Photolightning is emailing photos. When we listened to our users, they told us that the most important email features they were looking for is to be able to reduce the size of photos to make emailing faster, and to place the photos directly into the body of an email. Using Photolightning to send emails is easy. All you need to is to select the photos you want to email, click on Step 2: Label to add captions if you would like them to appear below your photos. Next click on Step 3: Print, email, and share, and click on the Email Photos button.

At this point you will see a preview of your email. You can select from a variety of templates for business (review, real estate), or a number of fun templates. One of the most useful templates is the ‘Review’ templates, which allows you to send out images for review, and get comments back from your customers.

If you are a Real Estate broker, you can create an HMTL version of your business card within Photolightning and include the “business card” when you send out photos.

If you want to attach photos instead of placing them in the email, you can do that as well. You can even place photos into a ZIP file.

When you are ready to send your photos, press the Email photos button!

I hope you find this post and other upcoming posts helpful.
