***HOW TO PREPARE NORMAL .JPG
PHOTOS:
***Please do not use a proprietary
program or an online program (such as Yahoo photos or Real video photos or
Quicktime photos or an Online photo service) that requires special software to
view your photos--Here are instructions for attaching a NORMAL .jpg photo to
your email :
Save your digital photo (photos can be taken using a digital
camera or you can use your scanner to copy a normal photographic print) to your
computer using your normal photo editing software (if using any Windows format
you have at least the "Paint" program by default. Most digital cameras and
scanners come bundled with other more complete photo editing software such as
Adobe Photoshop, Correll, MS Image Composer, etc.
Size your image so that the large dimension (height or width)
is no more than 7 inches. Save at a "normal" resolution of 72 pixels per inch so
that you can email the photo relatively quickly no matter your connection speed.
Save a copy of your image as "yourphotoname.jpg" without the
quotes.
After you click file>"Save As" a window will pop up allowing you
to select the location to save your photos to. If you are new to this then
select "Desktop "as it will be easy to find.
Be sure that you are not TYPING "jpg" but that you have
SELECTED this file extension by clicking on the drop down window of file
extension options which should be located immediately below and to the right of
the space where you type in your photo's new name. Select .jpg as your file
extension, then click the SAVE button to the right.
Now go to your new photo (if you saved it to your desktop go
there...and if using Windows XP it is especially
easy to email...:just Right-click the photo's icon > Send to > Mail Recipient
Type in our email name in the "To" field :
info@indianterritory.com
and its a good idea to CC a copy of this email to yourself as
well
Check your email sent folder and be sure that the email you
just sent is there, open it up and see that the photo is attached and opens.
You have just emailed a "normal" jpg that any computer should
be able to open without requiring special or proprietary software!

IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO YOUR
APPRAISAL REQUEST:
Emailed Appraisal Requests:
We generally respond to most emailed appraisal
requests within two business days but there can be situations in which we have
either not received your emails, not received your photo attachments or are
unable to successfully send an email to your email address.
If you have not received a reply please do the
following:
1. Email us a brief note -- with NO PHOTO
ATTACHMENTS -- stating the date and time the original email appraisal request
was emailed and requesting from us that you just need us to reply whether the
other email with photo attachments was received by us.
Sometimes servers reject oversized emails or
there was a technical problem during emailing so once in a while an email
doesn't get to us.... or a proprietary program was used to make the
photo...there are additional technical reasons why a photo may not be attached
or successfully received.
2. SPAM FILTERS and Junk Email BLOCKS: Be
sure to check that your email or your e-mail's server is not blocking our
replies.
Sometimes spam filters/ junk email filters are
set to reject all emails unless specifically permitted.
If this is how your spam filter or your email
company's spam filter is set be sure to type our email name
info@indianterritory.com into your "permitted" emails so you can receive
our free appraisal of your item (s).
