A lot of people send images via Messages app(s), Facebook, or through e-mail and want to attach images without saving them first. In a previous article, I explained how to attach your photos, images, docs, videos, notes etc. that are stored on your iOS devices to your e-mail. This short article explains the easiest way to attach images without saving them first.

Hi Joe,
Hope this day finds you well. Performing this same process of attaching images without saving on your MAC computer is also quite easy. First, locate your desired image. Then control click (or right-click) on that image and select “copy image.” This action copies your image to the clipboard. Now you paste that image into whatever application or location (email, Messages, etc) desired by selecting Edit>Paste or using the keyboard function command+V. And that’s it. There are times when images are not able to be copied, due to restrictions set on that particular image. In that case, the simplest solution is to choose another image. If that’s not possible, taking a screen shoot via command-shift-3 or command-shift-4 includes the image desired. Best of luck!
