Digital cameras usually default to taking high resolution images. This is okay for storing your home photo’s but for business purposes the large images produced quickly fill unnecessary space on server storage and email mailboxes. Its always good netiquette to reduce the size of images before sending them over email or storing them on your company’s server.   Even though you may be able to send large images, the recipients mail system may not be allowed to accept large images.  The failsafe option is to set your digital camera to set lower resolution images. If this isn’t possible your free to use our guide to reduce your image sizes.
