How to Send Full Size Photos or Pictures with Windows Live (MSN) Hotmail
In Windows Live Hotmail (previously known as MSN Hotmail) email service, there is an useful and convenient feature to attach photos, pictures, images and graphics to the e-mail where users can view and browse the thumbnails of the photos, select multiple photos or pictures as email attachments to upload at one go, and even apply caption title, rotate, edit, crop, adjust brightness, increase or decrease contrast on the photos or pictures.
However, the images attached as photos by using “Attach: Photo” button are reduced in size to a maximum of 600 pixels wide or tall. Thus, the photos appear to be very small when viewers open the file in the mail upon reaching the recipients’ mailboxes’ inbox. However, it’s still possible to upload full-size full resolution photos and pictures via email at MSN Windows Live Hotmail.
The trick is to use “Attach: File” instead of “Attach: Photo” to upload and attach the photos, pictures or images to the e-mail. If you’re already at the photo selecting, editing and attaching interface, click on “Cancel” button at the top left corner under Windows Live logo, and continue to click on “Attach:”, and then “File” attach the photo as file to send it in full size and resolution, as long as maximum attachment size is not exceeded.
The disadvantage of using “Attach: File” function to upload photo attachment is that users no longer able to preview the thumbnails and edit the photos at the Hotmail web interface (although it’s still possible to use Windows built-in thumbnails preview feature, and edit using external third-party programs), and users can only attach the photo one-by-one. Once a photo is finished uploading, then only users can attach another photo again.

I’m trying to attach photos to an email through hotmail. I click on the attach button but it doesn’t give me the option to attach photos or a file, it just takes me straight to my files. How do I get it to let me attach a bunch of pics?

What you describe is typical when what you’re pasting into the email is a pointer to a file on your local machine. You can see it when sent to yourself because the first exists there. Attaching a photo should work fine. Having it directly in the body of the email is trickier.

Copy and paste photo, recipient does not recieve.
hotmail:
It used to work, not sure what has changed
I copy and paste a photo (jpg) into the body of the email, then type a bunch of stuff. I can see the photo, send it to myself and see it, but when I send it to someone else, all they get is the red X. I even posted it to my web page, then copy and pasted it to the body, still not work. not even red X
here it is on my web page

An easy way to include photos and captions using Hotmail is to do it via my product called DBGallery (a photo database and organizer). There is a short video on how to do it at http://grrsystems.com/dbgallery/TrainingVideos/EmailViaHotmail/EmailViaHotmail.html

What do u mean by captions? If you mean changes, you should try Adobe Photoshop and then attach to hotmail.com
