Loading ...If you love sharing your favourite photos by email as much as I do, keep reading this post. In case you haven’t noticed, the all-new version of Yahoo!7 Mail has enhanced the way you can view image files received as attachments, allowing you to view the photos directly from your Inbox. It’s quick, easy and it works really well!
For this example, I’m working with an email that includes three photos (nice shots from our mascot LIAM), but the same applies whether there are 2 or 200 photos attached. When I open up the message that has photos attached to it, the bottom of the message is going to look like this – the photos attached are shown as thumbnails in the body of the message (without those crazy red boxes and numbers):
- If you click ‘1’ you will be able to view the image directly from within the all-new Yahoo!7 Mail interface.
- If you click ‘2’ (my choice!) you’ll start a slideshow that will allow you to scroll through all the images attached, which is very similar behaviour to number ‘1’. (For more detail on ‘1’ and ‘2’, have a look further down this post to the next image where I’ll talk about the image viewer.)
- If you click ‘3’ you can select from the attached pictures and only download the ones that you choose. All you have to do is check the box of the pictures you want to download and then click the “Download Selected” link.
So what’s this image viewer all about?
This is what happens when you click ‘1’ or ‘2’ from above – a sort of window pops up (it’s really an overlay) with the image you just clicked:
So here’s what you can do with the photo-viewer when it pops up:
- Whether you click on a picture or the slideshow link, you can scroll through the pictures that are attached to the image. So what’s the difference? If you click the slideshow link, then it starts with the first image, and if you click a specific image, you’ll then go to the next image.
- Clicking ‘2’ will stop and start the slide show. If the slideshow is playing the text in the red box above will say “pause” instead of “play”.
- Clicking ‘3’ does exactly what it says on the tin. To close your photo-preview or slideshow, just click the “close” button.
So that’s it. The beauty is in the simplicity, and I still think the slideshow view is fantastic!! Unfortunately, this feature is only available to users of the all-new mail, so if you’re a classic mail user, feel free to switch to the new version of Yahoo!7 Mail.
Hope you enjoy this feature and happy photo viewing!
