Email is a great way to send and receive photos. Photos received in emails are usually uploaded by the sender as attachments, so they can be downloaded and saved to your computer's hard drive. Once you have saved them to your hard drive, you can print them to make copies, or even edit them, in some cases, without having to access them on the Internet.
