I find the OP confusing. MP is an image PIXEL count, MB is a FILE size, and "never the twain shall meet."

The first question is what size FILE did you create? How?

Where was it changed, or was it? Obviously a 36 MP image creates more than a 175 KB file. A Thumbnail of the image can be 175 KB.

What do you use for email?

Do you ATTACH the photo file or somehow get the image in the email body?

Outlook and Mail. Does Comcast use webmail or some proprietary software? They’re an ISP.

I get to my Comcast mail through the web. In the (distant) past I used Outlook Express to download my Comcast mail to my computer and manage it from there. I don't bother with that any longer. I'm not sure if it's still an option to use another email client with Comcast, and it's too much bother to find out.

I'm sure it is. I have an AOL account and use it with Mail. I have Outlook, but seldom use it. Mail is perfect for me. I only use AOL webmail if their service is screwed up and I can't get Mail to connect. That's less than once a year.

So that's two you know of.
Comcast is both an ISP AND an email provider, they built their own email client.
Thunderbird is an independent email client, they don't care who your ISP is.

Outlook and Mail are independent clients as well.

I think you’re confusing MP and MB. A full size JPEG might be 24MP (megapixels) which is the resolution but the file would likely be around 8-10MB (megabytes) which is the file size.

Most of the Pocket Digital Cameras 📷 I have used offer a choice of resolution. With more memory limitations back then
[MB instead of GB memory] and the need to send multiple documentary project photos on Dial-Up, choice often moved to a more modest file size.

After modest editing and no cropping in Lightroom, I can’t email a full-sized JPEG. It arrives greatly reduced. Example: 36MP original may be 1.5MP when converted to JPEG but email recipient gets a 175 KB image. I have tried downloading and saving the full-sized image to files, and then sending that version. (Trying to take Lightroom out of the equation). Still the same result.

Several other hoggers have recommended wetransfer.com and I do also!

See this link for more info: https://help.wetransfer.com/hc/en-us/articles/210064643-The-difference-between-email-transfers-and-link-transfers

I photograph art work, mostly flat art and I usually email my clients files of their art. One job required sending them 6 files as big as 700 MB each! They offer a 2 GB limit for free! Using wetransfer.com, the price is right and you can email files. Larger transfers require payment.

Be well! Ed

If the OP does not have an gmail account, they should sactivate a Google Drive with the google account.

Gmail will automatically place a fille over 24 MB into your Google Drive and send the appropriate link to your email recipient so they can get the file. --Richard

My reference to a 36 MP original was a typo. I meant a 36MB original. Sorry for the confusion.

I’ll give wetransfer a try! Thanks for that idea—new to me!

If it's a friend or family, put a thumb drive or SD card in a 4x6 padded envelope with large groups of full-size files. Appreciated as small gifts and no size limits on what you send. You can even make slide shows if you like and the total including postage should be under $5.

Yes. That's what happens to me.
Even if my individual files are smaller, when I send a batch, the excess go into the cloud.

I use this all the time for movies and still pix (with large file sizes). Works great. The free (totally free) version has a cap on about 3 recipients and no more than 2 Gig. (Think MP 4s for movies)
If you sign up and used the paid -- it's almost unlimited. Highly recommend.
