First off, Happy New Year to everyone on this board. 2017 has been amazing and I wish you all a happy, healthy & prosperous 2018.

Now for my question. How do I link an image I created in Adobe Photoshop and imported into Adobe Dreamweaver CC to an email address without any extra text?

Thank you.

Carolyn

So what you’re saying is that I should link it to my contact form in my website.

Use the mailto: prefex in the Link field of your HTML Properties Panel.

LINK:  malto:me@mydomain.com

Having said that, mailto: links are not reliable.   People who don't have email software (Outlook or Windows / Apple Mail, etc...) on their devices will see nothing.   Ideally, you should be using a contact form with a form-to-email processing script.  Ask your hosting provider if they have one you can use.   Failing that, ask your web host which scripts your server supports -- i.e. PHP, ASP.net, Perl, or something else.

happy new year to everyone around there...

what do you mean... ? do you mean send an image by e-mail ?...

so if that is the case you can have two choices... linked as an attachment to the mail... or include as a body mail image ?

in both case the image will have to be placed on your server and you will use the link to there.

to link as attachment, you'll have two solutions... using native php mail() PHP: mail - Manual  or the PHPMailer() class GitHub - PHPMailer/PHPMailer: The classic email sending library for PHP  ... for that one you'll find a sample there Tutorial · PHPMailer/PHPMailer Wiki · GitHub

if you need to embed the image in the body just use it in the body of the mail as you would in a normal HTML page
