Add images from the Gallery<br />

Share your photos with anyone in seconds<br />

Emails are about much more than text<br />

because you have the opportunity to share<br />

media with anyone you like in an instant.<br />

This is something you may be used to doing<br />

on a desktop, but the good news is that all of<br />

the same facilities are available on a <strong>Galaxy</strong><br />

device thanks to the close ties that are built<br />

in to the system which work with almost<br />

any app you have installed. The Gallery app<br />

is the default solution for presenting images<br />

on a <strong>Samsung</strong> device and with this comes<br />

a close relationship to email which can be<br />

used to attach any image from the gallery<br />

and to then send it. This method can be used<br />

for other types of file as well using different<br />

apps, but for this particular tutorial we will<br />

concentrate on images. When you select and<br />

attach an image to an email you will have<br />

no opportunity to tweak it so make sure any<br />

editing is done before you attach it. You can<br />

then ensure that you are sending the right<br />

photo and one that is as impressive as it can<br />

be. So let’s gets started with using images<br />

and email when mobile.<br />

Attach any image Send any image from any email account<br />

1: A new email<br />

Tap the ‘+’ icon at the top to start creating a<br />

new email. Enter the recipient’s email address,<br />

add a title and the text you want to include.<br />

If you can, try to add some context which<br />

describes more about the image you are<br />

going to attach to the email.<br />

2: Use the menu<br />

Tap the menu key and a list of options will<br />

appear. Here you can add images, videos and<br />

change many other parts of the email you<br />

are dealing with. In this case you will want to<br />

select Attach picture at the top to continue<br />

with the process.<br />

3: Many choices<br />

You will now be given a choice of which app<br />

you want to use to take an image from. This<br />

will usually be a short list, but if you have a lot<br />

of third party apps installed on your device,<br />

the selection could be quite large. ‘Choose<br />

Gallery’ to proceed.<br />

4: Find the image<br />

Navigate through the folders that show up<br />

and find the image you want to attach. If you<br />

have a lot of images loaded onto your device<br />

this can take time, but the thumbnails are<br />

large enough to recognise. Tap an image and<br />

you will be taken back to the email.<br />

5: Time to send<br />

The image will now be shown in the email<br />

body with the name and the size noted. You<br />

can tap the ‘x’ to remove it from the email or<br />

tap the send icon to send the email with the<br />

image included. The process is very quick and<br />

highly effective.<br />
