This post is not a dig at Apple users, it's just that over the last few weeks several contributors (and my wife) have struggled to send me images from the i-stuff using email. To be fair this does seem to be an Outlook vs. Apple issue.
For some unfathomable reason, when people with a Mac, iPad or iPhone send me images, they get embedded in the email. While this is great for sharing selfies, it isn't very useful for publications.
This usually means they are compressed, losing quality, saving becomes rather involved (you can't drag and drop them like attachments) and also they lose their filename. If you send me twelve neatly numbered pictures I get twelve un-named images.
As guessing which is which usually means getting it wrong, this then results in a lot of messing around to ensure they are properly captioned and placed.
There are some very long-winded cures for this on the web, as attaching images instead of embedding them appears to be 'deprecated' by Apple.
The ideal is to number images (photo01, photo02 etc. to match the caption list and placeholders in the text) and put them in a zip folder which you should be able to attach in the normal way.
Keep the zip folders less than about 8Mb because if they are bigger the email bounces and I don't get any notification.
If you have a lot of or very large images, consider using dropbox or wetransfer t send them instead.
I don't recommend Google cloud as the upload/download process seems to be clumsy (you have to visit a separate webpage for each image, it seems) and it seems to lose files sometimes.
