Not long ago, it would have been hard to envision a telephone as a picture-taking tool. In recent years, though, a mobile phone has catapulted to become a multipurpose communication tool. One such purpose is to transmit and display pictures, and sometimes to take the pictures as well. The Organizer has the means to send a picture or a photographic creation to a mobile phone. It does so in the form of an email message. The mbile phone then can use its own communication capability to forward pictures to another mobile phone user. 1. | Select the Images
In the Organizer, select one or more pictures from the catalog. Click the first image, and then press and hold the Ctrl key and click to select multiple pictures; press and hold the Shift key and click the last image in a contiguous range of pictures.
NOTE  | Email service on a portable phone requires that the phone be equipped to send, receive, and display email. Such a phone has an email address assigned by the email service provider. |
| 2. | Click Share, E-mail to Mobile Phone
In the Shortcuts bar, click the Share button. From the menu that opens, select E-mail to Mobile Phone. The Send to Mobile Phone dialog box opens.
| 3. | Select Recipients
The items you selected in step 1 appear on the left side of the dialog box. The people in your Organizer Contact Book appear in the Select Recipients list in the center.
 Those contacts for whom you have not yet entered a mobile phone email address are grayed out. Place check marks next to the names of people and groups to whom you would like to send pictures.
If you want to add a mobile phone email address to a recipient's entry in your Contact Book, click Edit Contacts. You then can select the contact and enter the new information. To enter a new recipient, click Add Recipient.
NOTES | Only the recipients for whom you entered mobile phone email addresses in your Contact Book are available in the Select Recipients list (see 157 Manage Contacts for more information about adding and editing contacts). If you want, you can skip step 3; after the email message has been created and sent to your email client, you can select email addresses using the email client's address book. To fit the size you select, pictures might be scaled proportionately, but they won't be stretched out of proportion. |
| 4. | Select a Print Size
In the upper-right corner of the dialog box, you can select a maximum size: Small, Big, or a Custom Size of your own choosing. The size you select here controls the onscreen size and quality of the mobile phone image. It also controls the maximum size an image can be, before the Organizer is forced to compress it before sending.
Image size is relative when talking about viewing the images on a mobile phone. At 72 pixels per inch, a vertical Big image is only about an inch tall. A Small picture is only 0.8 inches high at 72 pixels per inch.
| 5. | Enter a Text Message
In the lower-right corner of the dialog box, enter any message you want to send along with the picture.
| 6. | Send the Images
Click OK. Your email client opens and displays the message addressed to the selected recipients. The pictures are added as attachments.
Click the Send button. The message is transmitted from your computer to the specified mobile phone's email service.
