Scanning and emailing.

[netibiza]

Pleaqse can someone tell me how to scan something and email it, obviously I know how to scan and then it goes to Picassa, so how do I get it from there to an email with a message, many thanks.

In general terms your e-mail program will have an option 'insert file' or something similar. Use this option and tell it to look in Picassa for the file

The precise sequence will depend on what e-mail you are using

Well the way i do it is to find the location where said scanned item is stored and once found the location, make a note of the file name eg IMG 000005 then in the compose email option go to attach files/attach attachments and go to said location where the item is stored and attach the item, write your email then send,

One of several ways:
Save the file in Picasa. (I'm guessing that you do that by going to File > Save. I don't use Picasa but every program I've ever used works that way!). NB: Note where you've saved it to! (e.g. 'My Pictures', etc).

Create a new email (either with an email client, such as Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail, or with a web-based service). Fill in the address and text then click the 'Attach' button. Navigate to where you've stored the image file and double-click on it. Send the email.

BTW: you recently stated that 'ch' and 'll' are regarded as separate letters in Spanish. No longer it seems!

It doesn't go to Picasa, it goes to your hard disk. Picasa is just a way of cataloguing your pictures. But in any case, Picasa offer an email option:
Click on the image in Picasa.
At the bottom of the screen you will see an email icon. This only seesm to work for GMail or Outlook (at least on my set up).

If that's no good to you, you can right-click the image, and choose Locate on Disk. This will open Windows Explorer and highlight the actual file on your disk.
If you use a local e-mail client (such as Outlook, Outlook Express or Thunderbird) you can right-click the file, and choose Send To/Email Recipient.

Another method (which is useful if you use web mail):
Write-click the image in Picasa and choose Copy full path.
Create an e-mail, indicate that you want to attach a file (how you do this varies according to which webmail you are using)
When it asks you for the file, paste the location that you copied.

Many thanks everyone, just like sending a photo then, silly me.

Yes Chris I know we omit the ch now, but I like to include it.
