How to Email Photos As a Slideshow
Sending your cherished photos as an email slideshow is an alternative to sending them as single picture attachments. By creating a slideshow, you can make the photos come to life. Because the slideshow is engaging, your email recipients will enjoy watching it over and over again. You can buy software programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Xtreme PhotoStory and ProShow to create a photo slideshow. However, many online programs will allow you to accomplish this task for free.
