how to retain full resolution of photo when emailing

In photo my image is 4.3 MB but when I attach it to an outgoing message in Apple Mail, the resolution shrinks to 2.2 MB. I am selecting Actual Size in the dropdown menu. My ISP is not responsible because the same things happens if I put the image on my desktop! Please someone tell me how to send a photograph at full resolution!

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

OMG, Keith. This was the solution. I have been struggling with this for hours. I even tried to save the image to a flash drive. Nothing worked. But doing something as simple as EXPORTING the original unedited file to the desktop did the trick.


Using an Apple product used to be intuitive. User-friendly. Not so anymore. You have to really dig for answers. Thank you, Keith.
