I'm going to double click, then I'm going to go to Edit, and here I can do a variety of different things. Even if you want the original photo to just stay like it is in your Photos collection you'll see how you can edit it here and easily get back to having the original here. So instead of dragging and dropping first select the photo or photos that you want and let's go and edit it first. You want to give them the full resolution image.īut what about if you really want to customize how you export. So you want to choose medium or a larger file but better quality, of course, and large or really good quality, or the actual size if you want to send somebody the image so they can actually add it to their photo collection. All to often I get people that select small and the image is too small to be usable especially if it is a screenshot. Note that when you do this in Mail always pay special attention to the image size here. Drag and drop right into the message here. I could select a photo or photos that I want. So, for instance, here I am composing a message in the Mail App. Or perhaps you want to go directly into another app like Pages or Word or maybe into an email message. This could be in this folder here or in the Desktop or anywhere you want. Drag and you can see it's exporting three and now there's going to be three photos right here in the Finder. If you want to export several photos you can select several of them, I'm going to hold the Control key down and select them.

Just drag the photo over and then you can see it appears right here. This could be the Desktop or have another Finder window open right here. The simplest method is you are just in the Photos App here and you can just drag and drop to the Finder.
