The photo is on my desktop. When the problem started, I wasn't able to swipe it from Photos onto the desktop, and I was really worried, because I like to put things on the desktop if I'm going to use them. I did a restart, and then that worked again. Whew! I tried adding the photo to Word and Keynote and putting it in an email, and that all worked. Do you think the problem is just with Amazon? A customer had asked a question about a product that I had reviewed, and I wanted to include a photo, which I have done before. When I tried to select the photo from the Amazon popup, everything was grayed out. That's why I tried swiping it in. I finally sent in my reply without the photo.
