What is the limit of numbers of pictures can I send in an email. The pictures are 4x5 and 200 dpi each?

My Daughter in law wants to see all of our pix and we have a few hundred. I there a rule of thumb?What is the limit of numbers of pictures can I send in an email. The pictures are 4x5 and 200 dpi each?
the limit would be the total size of the attachment itself and that limit depends on your email provider. For instance, Yahoo Mail limit attachment up to 10 MB.What is the limit of numbers of pictures can I send in an email. The pictures are 4x5 and 200 dpi each?
This depends on your email provider and how much they will allow for attachments. Typically, most email providers allow for 10MB per attachment, some more and some less. If you know how large the files are (and they should be in kb), you should be able to send quite a few at one time.





Rule of thumb, 1024kb = 1MB
Usually email attachments are made to be 72 dpI because most monitors can only resolve 72 and in the cases of some high-end monitors 92 (rare and very expensive).





200 DPI and higher are files that can be used to make photographic prints and if such a file is later needed by your daughter, you can send the the specific image files with the higher resolution.





Be sure you save the smaller files as some other name and not overwrite your original files. There is a good way to do this. Burn a CD of all your original images as a back up so if you do accidental over write an original, you have an original file available.





Some photo programs allow batch actions on groups of files, so you don't have to individually re-size each image file.
