Dear friends,

Can you please guide me what is the Ideal Size to email Pictures? I shoot in RAW and while editing the sizes are very big. The internet has confusing answers. I send the pictures via gmail.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards.

Hi Anirban

The issue is not really with what size you send them, but the recipients email limitations - some are limited to 2Mb of attachments.

Without knowing what their attachment limit is it is best to limit the total number to under 2Mb.

I generally send up to 6 as JPEG attachments no bigger than 160 - 250kb depending on the quality setting I use, physical size no bigger than 1024 pixels in the largest dimension.

Never send RAW files as they are too big and the recipient will not know how the image should look like.

HTH
