    You can also mail directly from Photos using the Share menu. Select the photos, then click the Share button in the toolbar or use "File > Share > Mail".

    This will open a new Mail window with the selected photos attached.

     

    Copy and Paste will work with the Mail.app in El Capitan, but not necessarily with other mail clients, for example Outlook.
