You'll usually? find a Share button above the photo or video you're viewing. Click the button to fire off an email with that photo or video? inside.

The email will also include a link your fans can click to see your entire gallery.

Here's how:

Click that Share button. If you see this at the top of the next page, you'll need to click the Send an email link to get to the right spot:

You'll see this:

Click the Preview Email button, then click Send Email when you're ready.

Fancy or plain?

So-called HTML email looks fancy, like a web page. From the Can't Please Everyone Department, most love it but a few don't.

You can please everyone, however, because SmugMug sends both plain and fancy together so the recipient will automatically see it the way they prefer. Their email program chooses which one to display according to their preferences.

The HTML version is shown when you click the Preview Email button.

Gotcha: You'll need to make sure external linking is toggled to yes in Customize Gallery? so that the photo will show up properly in your share email.

Has anyone read the email yet?

In your Control Panel, you can see statistics on every email you've sent out, including how many people have viewed each email and how many people have clicked through to see the gallery full of pictures.
