Hoping one from this great group can help me with this issue. It has been happening consistently all week, occasionally before this. When I try to email a photo from my computer that I use for all of my photos that are in Lightroom Classic CC it only sends half of the photo. I use the settings as they are originally. With the photo showing in library, all I do is click on export, type in the email address that I am wanting to send to, add a subject line, and put the curser in area where you would make comments, then hit send. It looks like the right things are happening and show that the email has sent. So I go to my other computer that I use for everything and click in the email in my inbox and only half the photo is there. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Both my photography pc and my personal everything else pc are desktop, not that that should matter other than to date me as old. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I send my edited pics to a folder and from there insert them into whatever I am sending via...

From your description, it seems you're doing exactly the steps as the email export option should happen from within LR. You might try opening a technical support chat with Adobe. You also might export the images to a target folder and create your email from within the email client and attach the exported image.

Thanks for your suggestions.

In LR right click on the edited photo and you can select "Show in Folder (Finder)" Then when composing email use that folder. LR has no photos, it only catalogs where the photo is located. No need to create an additional copy.

Hopefully, you're not being serious....

To email the edited version, our OP and all LR users will need to perform the Export action that merges the edit instructions with the unaltered original file creating a new output file, based on the Export parameters.

Although not focused specifically on email nor LR, this discussion provides useful ideas and examples of how to create 'shareable' JPEG files for the purposes of digital sharing, including via email: Recommended resizing parameters for digital images

I am serious. When you finish editing you "save as JPG" by using the export option. In Export you select save to same file as original, and check save in sub folder. Great way to have all edited photos in a sub folder under the originals. You can also have LR do additional renaming if so desired.

your method wastes a lot of disk space why export and create jpgs of every photo you edit? Instead export as jpg only the photos you want to send somewhere, post somewhere, email somewhere etc. There is no good reason to save all these jpgs and have them clogging up your hard drive and your catalog. You can create an up to date with all changes applied jpg anytime you NEED to via the export function and save them to an edited folder without putting there info in the catalog...

I have a similar problem but only on the latest Windows 10 on my 2019 Lenovo Laptop. Works OK on my Mac Mini 2019.
May be a timing problem, the windows is a lot slower. Both computers have lots of memory and are uptodate with software.

Tied to send same photo 3 times and different amounts of the jpg sent each time. That would point to a timeout problem. Tried two ISP's same results and with NEF files.

?? I give up, will just use the Mac when I get home.

You might be right on the timing out. I’m working with Windows 10 as well. Had not thought of that. Thanks.

Often people need to export or generate a copy to send because their original files are raw. Also since it’s the original it needs to be exported to include the edits.

For sharing photos from Lightroom Classic to email or social media, I prefer to add the photo(s) to a shared collection. I than open Lightroom mobile go to all photos and select the photo(s) I want to share. Then select the app eg; email, messages, Facebook, etc

Just fyi, thanks to all of you who offered suggestions. Sending within a folder seems to have helped. I’m not able to get 100% to send but I’m getting a pretty high percentage. Thank you so much. I knew I could count on the fine people of this group to offer good ideas.
