When you try to copy and paste high-resolution images in an email program, you might find that the picture loses some of its quality as the email client will try to display the image on the screen without the need for scrolling. You could try to send the image file as an attachment; however, some high-resolution images might be too large for that. To be sure that you can send your image without losing quality, compress it into an archive first.
Step 1
Right-click the image file on your computer. Click "Send to" and "Compressed (zipped) folder."
