We're sure you guys have experienced this: Ever tried guiding a not-so-computer-literate relative through an image upload session? More specifically, ever tried guiding them through the rather long and fiddly process of uploading iPhoto files to Gmail?

Juan I. Leon had the same problem, and after thinking it over, decided to come up with this simple little solution called Photo2Gmail. For those asking what exactly it does, it's a plugin for your iPhoto that simplifies the otherwise complicated process of re-sizing and uploading images to Gmail.

From what we can see, it also comes with a pre-size function to allow for faster image uploads - very convenient for multiple files.

Be warned, though - Juan says the software's still in its early stages, so expect it to have a couple of bugs. All in all we like the idea, and we're hoping Juan comes up with an update for this plugin soon.
