[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 691018, member: 45742"] I think I see the problem (or part of it). I just tried it again. In Nikon View NX-i when I converted the NEF to a JPEG, I set the "Quality" slider to make the estimated file size 105 KB to exactly match the size of her attached photo so I can compare them fairly. But after conversion, the actual file size was 211 KB. When I attach it to a message in "Mail", it attaches it as a "Medium" sized photo in the message, with a size of 108 KB. I guess my Mail program is processing and reducing the image a second time, reducing the quality. I think the answer is for me to select "Actual Size" in the selection area of the upper right corner of the message being composed. Then, it attaches the actual image I converted, rather than re-converting my image to an even smaller size. Basic stuff, I guess. I'm not much of a computer person... :shame: Stay sharp, Bob [/QUOTE]
