Need help compressing files...please?

I need to compress some 10 MB jpeg images in order to send them through email. I downloaded Stuffit Expander and can't figure out how to use it Is this the best way to go about this? I have OS 10.4.
Thanks guys and gals!

Are each of the files 10MB or do you have several files that total 10MB?

Right+Click on the Folder of images... or the individual image (whatever you want to send)

Choose "Stuffit" ... (bottom of the contextual menu)
Then pick what you like... keep in mind the person you are sending it to will need Stuffit to OPEN the file.

JPEG's don't usually shrink that much. You can just Right Click on your files and click Creative Archive and it will make a .ZIP archive for you. It's built into 10.4. ZIP is a lot more standard anyway and something your friend might have.

you may want to look at some other options too...

sending the files one or two at a time (if 10Mb is the total).
using a program like gimp or seashore to shrink the images a bit (probaby even iPhoto, but i try to stay away from that).
or setting up a free flickr or imageshack account and just uploading them for your contact to see online.
