Emailing Photos on a Computer

Mylio works with your computer’s default email client allowing you to email photos directly from your Mylio Photos Library.

1. Select a photo or series of photos.

*TIP: Learn how to select multiple images from a computer.

2. Click the Share icon from the right sidebar and choose Email.

3. Choose from the following settings:
   • File Type
     • JPEG – useful for web and multimedia applications
     • PNG – higher quality, web-friendly file format
     • TIFF – perfect for printing or image archival
     • Unmodified Original – create a copy of the original file, and ignore any edits that were made in Mylio Photos
   • Resolution
     • Small – reduced in pixel dimensions or for quick sharing
     • Medium – good for screen use
     • Large – a high-quality image that’s useful for sharing or repurposing
     • Original – matches the original dimensions of the source image
     • Custom – choose a custom dimension in pixels
   • Quality – Low, Medium, High, or Maximum
   • Color Space
     • sRGB – sRGB is the narrowest color space, but is most compatible with web and email for digital viewing.
     • Display P3 – Display P3 is primarily used by Apple in wide gamut displays. This color space is not supported by all devices.
     • Adobe RGB – Adobe RGB is a common color space used in computer graphics and many software applications and is often used to create physical prints.
     • ProPhoto RGB – ProPhoto RGB is the widest color space and supports the broadest range of colors. This is the only color space that can contain all colors captured in a raw photo. This color space is optimal for images that will be edited further in other applications.
   • Bit Depth – Available for PNG and TIFF File Types. Bit depth measures how much color is available for display or printing of each pixel
     • 8-Bit – The most common bit depth. An 8-bit image will be able to display a little more than 16 million colors.
     • 16-Bit – Provides additional editing flexibility but can increase file sizes and processing times. A 16-bit image will be able to display over 280 trillion colors.
     • Auto – Mylio Photos will choose the appropriate bit-depth for your export based on the quality of the original.
   • Safeshare – Strip all metadata from the exported image(s) including Camera EXIF, Caption and Keywords, Ratings, Copyright, IPTC, People, and Places.
   • Metadata
     • Camera EXIF – information about the camera and lens used to create a photo
     • Caption and Keywords – details about a photo such as title and keywords
     • Ratings – the star ratings of an image.
     • Copyright – information about the creator of a photo
     • IPTC – expanded details about a photo
     • People – information about who appears in a photo
     • Places – GPS information about a photo
   • Apply Watermark – ON or OFF to add a visible overlay on top of the image to indicate the creator or status of the image.

4. Click the Create Email button to launch your default email client. A new email will be created with your images attached.

*TIP: If you don’t have a default email client selected on your computer, or prefer to use a webmail service, you can Export Photos to a Folder for Sharing Outside of Mylio Photos.

*TIP: Most email providers place size limits on email attachments. We recommend keeping your email attachments to less than 3MB to ensure they will be delivered.
