How do I email photos that I edited on my computer?

One of the biggest problems I hear from people today is they try to email their pictures. You take this picture at the birthday party, you crop it you color correct it, it's really cool. Now you want to send it to grandma. Well, you try to email it to her and she calls and says "you broke my computer"; because you sent her too big a file. The secret to emailing pictures is they have to be very, very small. The biggest picture I'll ever send to someone is a four by six picture at seventy two dots per inch. Now, the problem is you can't print that picture, but you really, to be effective emailing you want to send pictures that are less than 1 kilobytes email. If you want to send grandma or someone a bigger picture that she can print and enjoy; the easiest way to that is to burn the pictures to a CD, put the CD in an envelope, and put a forty one cent stamp on it and send it. That's the easiest way to get high resolution in the pictures to people.
