Use Google Drive. Many companies use Outlook, which has a maximum attachment size of 10 Mb. I can't get the size command to work. the number I last gave was a typical file times 18. Done with a high quality Panasonic digital camera. If I have to reduce the pixel count, how do I do that?
Don't size the photos.
You have two roads:
1) Ask the company whether they have a service to upload photos. 2) Use an intermediary like Google Drive.
Mozilla also has an service somewhere to send large attachments.
If you finally decide to compress the photos, as this process always entails some loss of quality and these are important photos, use gimp. First, copy the photos to another directory. Open them all with gimp. On each photo, click "export as" (in the file menu). Change the name a little bit. On the photo you will see a tick to see the resulting size of photo, activate it. Change the quality of the photo just a bit. It is probably 90, go down 5 or 10 points only. You will see the resulting size, and also the photo will visually degrade a bit. You can go to "10" momentarily to dramatically see how far the loss can be. Go back so something like 80 or 85. As long as you don't hit accept, nothing is written. Once written, close the photo. Gimp will complain you did not save the photo (which is correct, you exported, not saved). Ignore that warning. You will see anyway the export name in the tittle bar. Repeat for every photo. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
