  2. Connect to the ISP.

  3. Re-launch KODAK Picture CD.

If you are disconnected from your ISP while sending pictures, exit KODAK Picture CD 4.2, connect to the ISP, and re-launch KODAK Picture CD 4.2. (See launch instructions above.)

Note: AOL (America Online) users sometimes have problems receiving e-mail. If your mail isn't received within eight hours, recreate the e-mail with the attachment and resend it.

To E-mail More Than One Picture at a Time

The number of pictures you can send depends on the total file size of all of the pictures. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) limit the size of e-mail attachments. If you are having trouble sending high-resolution pictures (the Large size indicated for printing) try sending low-resolution pictures or fewer high-resolution pictures.

To reduce the size of the picture that you want to send, using your own e-mail application:

  1. Go to the Save As section on the Picture CD.

  2. Highlight the Small or Medium picture size.

  4. Make a note of where you stored the picture.

  5. Attach the picture to your e-mail.
