A photographer fitting everything into one email
You spent Saturday afternoon photographing your friend's pottery studio for her new website. Twenty-three shots, all at full resolution, straight off your camera. When you try to send a preview batch, the email bounces. Total size too large.
You don't want to compromise on what you send, but the client wants to see the photos today. You drop the whole folder into the image compressor, leave the quality on Balanced, and watch the thumbnails update. A 4 MB photo becomes 420 KB. The total drops from 80 MB to 9 MB.
You download everything as a ZIP, attach it, and the email goes through on the first try. Your friend replies twenty minutes later, and the photos still look exactly the way you remember shooting them.
