Need a program or service to send pictures via email and/or store them online.

**techs** · May 1st, 2006, 12:00 PM

My customer was using the software that came with her HP camera (Image zone?).
Within the image editing program she could create an email that sent a thumbnail to the recipient, upload the picture to a HP servers and had a link in the email to go online for the full picture (each picture is 1.29mb). It was capable of sending mulitple pictures per email.
Now HP has switched their service to Snapfish. Unfortunately some of the recipients have Snapfish blocked by their network administrators, plus Snapfish requires each recipient to start an account to view the full size picture.
This customer doesn't know a megabyte from a megavitamin.
Without some long lessons on file size, picture resizing, uploading files via ftp there is no way they can do this on their own.
Is there any software or service that can do some or all of this?
Free or reasonable cost would be nice.
ANY suggestions or ideas welcomed.
Thanks.

Yahoo photos (unsolicitedly) resizes your pictures!
I use www.fotki.com which is free, doesn't resize your pictures and has a feature of "send this pic to a friend by email" built-in the page and has an Active-X little .exe that integrates with windows explorer to "publish your photos online" right from windows explorer
