Dragging image from internet.

It's your friend's birthday and you wish to send a personal birthday greeting via the email

                       dock at bottom of screen

      Type in  birthday images

1. When you see the image that you like, click once on the image. You 

     will see some information about the image.  You should choose an 

     image that says jpg, meaning jpeg, a format that your computer 

     and email recognizes.  You will notice the size such as 500x500

     0r 1000x1000. If you want a good quality image, the bigger the number

     the better; however 500-1000 is about average and will be just fine for

     an email.  If you don’t see the image you want, scroll down the page and

     click on other sites.

4. Once you find the image with the above parameters, double click on desired image

5. Click on "Full Size Image" (text) ride side

You will have to write the text above or below the image.  If the image is stored on you desktop, you can use it in a pages or keynote document which have their own video tutorials in apple.com
