For those of you who may use Photoshop Elements, if you just resize down
to a smaller image (smaller than the 42-inch wide on the screen) the
quality will get fuzzy. What you want to do is uncheck the
"resample" box and then change the resolution from 72 to 300 or
350. The result will be a picture about 10 by 6 inches of excellent
quality.

I would recommend against sending low-quality pictures just because they
download faster. If they are worth sharing, they are worth taking a few
extra minutes.
