Looking for a bit of advice please. I would like to email 70 or 80 photos each 2-3 MB. Is there an easy way of doing this without compressing each individual photo? I have a limit on my Yahoo Mail of 25MB.

I would set up a Flickr account and upload them there, then email links to them. 2-3Mb will potentially get blocked by a lot of mail systems (e.g. corporate systems managed by disk space nazis).

Yousendit dot com is another option, I use them to send huge files with work, never had an issue with the freebie version!

And make a zip of the folder to avoid uploading them all individually (and making the recipient download them all separately.)

Or post a CD.

Most photo formats (probably all) are effectively compressed about as far as they will go. As already mentioned, zipping to make handling easier is about as good as you can achieve by compression.
