Sally:

OK, a Mac. Good for you.

After you take a digital picture you can upload the images into  
iPhoto. iPhoto senses when a camera is attached and starts loading  
the images into its directories.

In iPhoto, you process the images - crop, rotate, straighten,  
exposure, sharpen, etc.
Then EXPORT the image in whatever format you want, and export it (in  
the file size of your choice) to the desktop where you can find it.  
Then go to your emailer and "attach" the image to a message. Simple.

Keep in mind that you can also attach the image to an email message  
from within Apple's Mail program. And you can set the file size, and  
access the email addresses in your address book, all from within  
Mail. Slick!

Scanners do what camera do... they digitize an image. Except for the  
most part, cameras do it better - higher resolution, allowing for  
editing/cropping, etc.
The .jpg file format is the one you should always use for email.  
Avoid the .tiff format - the file sizes are enormous.

Hope this helps,
If not, read the help files in iPhoto ,grin>

Blessings and Peace,
Bill
