Product Description:

Shrink the file size of photos and all kinds of other images before you mail them. A 640x480 jpeg will be about 50 kb using freePhotoConverter 2. I wrote this one for my parents so they stopped sending me 2 MB emails containing only 2 1600x1200 photo's. Savings on pdf (screenshots) are huge!

Since spiritmusic refuses to deal with the subject I'm updating my earlier post to let everybody know that when you d/l freePhotoconverter you STILL wind up with a cookie from hetnet.nl

home.hetnet.nl 12/31/34 7:00PM SITESERVER / ID=7ec94daf8b2539570001b39039a40ef0

along with your software.

I've downloaded several hundred programs and never experienced such a thing with any other developer's server, and spiritmusic's adamant denial of this unusual occurrence makes me wonder just what his interest in hetnet.nl's placing the cookies might be... I can't quote a source, but I've been advised that hetnet.nl is a "malicious" organization that collects info.

I think it's long past time that spiritmusic addresses the subject honestly rather than with his traditional bluff and bluster/cum/EST quasi-denial.

That having been said: fPC remains a quirky, but nonetheless mostly functional, piece of useful software; thanks, except for the cooky and attitude.

I've used this great app. and told countless friends about it. For anyone who uses a Mac and sends email this is a "No brainer".

Since I upgraded to OS 10.4.2 this app has been acting a little funny. I just tried to send an email pic and something changed my out going server from smtp.earthlink.net to smtp.hotmail.com. It may not be this app at all, but it sure was strange. This is a sweet little app and it's a real life saver for me. I use it everytime I send a pic in an email. Which is about everyday.
