I'm not sure of the set up you are using, but if you have iPhoto (5),
import the images, and create an album (eg FashionShots). Then from
the Share menu, choose Export...
Click the Web Page tab. Change the maximum thumbnail size to 120x120
or whatever suits you. Set the Columns and Rows to whatever suits you
then click Export.
Once completed, go to Word and open the page you just created (eg
FashionShots.html) and choose save as Word document (eg
FashionShots.doc). There you have a fully editable Word document with
all your thumbnails included ready to email.
You can even use the Finder to create a zipped archive.

Hi folks,
A basic question but I am doing something wrong.
I am trying to help my daughter develop a catalogue of clothing, with
photos, in a Word document small enough to email to clients.
She has 50 professionally taken photos each of 2.2 MB approx 25 cm
X 40 cm.
We want them down to approx 2 cm wide in proportion but to keep the
best
quality for viewing the detail.
I am using Photoshop Elements 3.
What is the best way to reduce them? Scaling or by pixel count?
How many pixels per sq inch is best for this. It is not being
printed just
emailed but the client may print it out their end.
Our first try ended up with a 5 page document of 45+ MB! This slowed
everything down and is useless for emailing but the quality is great.
We now have it down to 3.5 MB but this is still big and some photos
are
losing quality?
I have read the Photoshop guide but the setting are still not
right. Getting
the 2 cm width is not easy!
Is a PDF file the way to go?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Lloyd
