You would need to upload them to an album, then send them a link to the file.

It would be super beneficial if we could just load an image to a PM -- such as when selling items or sharing an image quickly with someone where I don't want it in an album..

We actually do have the feature, it's just been disabled for security reasons. Perhaps it would be OK if we limited it to site supporters, pentaxians, and veteran members.

I would like that if it were possible. Twice now I have responded to " Wanted Pentax Items" and been requested to send pics. Seems people are a little hesitant to send a private email without developing a rapport first. Can't say I blame anyone. Please let us know if it is decided to enable the function again. Thanks.

Until then, remember that you can always create private albums. You can still link users to photos in private albums, but they won't show up in the album listings.

Ok thank you for considering it, Adam.
