How to Set a Photo As an Email Background

• Answer:

  Setting a personalized background for email use makes your message stand out, whether it is a family newsletter highlighted with your annual Christmas photo or a business letter accented with a company logo. Vacation photos add life to your email as a background for notes on your trip, and engagement photos add pizazz when used to send out a list of where a bride is registered. It is a function that is available on nearly all email utilities, and can be accomplished in just a few minutes.

Tips & Warnings Tip: Use large photos for the best effect. Photos can be edited with photo-editing software to sepia tones, which can make text easier to read. Warning: If the image you choose is small, it will repeat (tile) to fill the screen from left to right and top to bottom. Warning: Extremely detailed photos can make text more difficult to read. For best results, choose landscapes or photos with a blank area near the top where your text will be.
