For image attachments, the iOS/iPadOS Mail App allows you to choose/select the most appropriate attachment file-size - usually defaulting to the smallest (and therefore lowest quality). You can manually select a higher quality (and therefore larger file-size) while drafting your email. This facility provides significant control, allowing you to keep within the bounds of email size limits.
Having attached your image(s) to your draft email, you'll see something like this - noting that the attached images will show the current attachment file size:
The indicated Images file-size indicator is actually a selector-button.
Tap the button and you'll be able to select the file size that you wish to send as attachment. You should note that the indicated attachment size is the total - so if you have two or more photos attached to your mail, this will represent the combined file-size of the attachments.
In this example, the single photo attachment has defaulted to Small (35.0 KB). Tap any of the other available options to select, noting that the corresponding file sizes are proportionally much greater - the largest here (Actual Size) for the full-resolution photo being 4.1 MB.
Be aware that Mail systems are generally limited in the maximum attachment file size that they will handle. Consider that an email will likely transit many systems before delivery of the mail and its attachments to the recipient. While some email platforms may allow you to send large attachments (e.g., Google Mail - 25MB), many will reject mail attachments of this magnitude. Remember, the Mail server of the recipient may not accept large attachments.
As such, it is generally recommended that you limit your attachment size to 10MB or less - as a delivery failure is perhaps less likely.
For particularly large attachments, or bulk sending, you might be better advised to host the photos on a recipient-accessible platform - and simply send a link to the file(s). Many free (or paid) cloud-services are useful for this.

To take and send high-resolution photos without them being downsized when emailing, you can follow these steps:
1. Capture High-Resolution Photos: Ensure that your iPad Pro is set to capture high-resolution photos. Open the Camera app, tap on the arrow at the top to expand the options, and make sure the "HDR" and "Keep Normal Photo" options are turned off. This will ensure that your photos are captured in their highest resolution.
2. Transfer Photos to Computer: After capturing the photos, transfer them to your computer using a method that preserves their original resolution. You can use AirDrop, iCloud Photos, or connect your iPad to your computer via USB and use the Photos app or Image Capture to transfer the photos.
3. Email Photos from Computer: Once the high-resolution photos are on your computer, compose an email and attach the photos to the email directly from your computer's file system. Most email clients, such as Gmail or Outlook, allow you to attach files directly from your computer's storage.
4. Send Email: After attaching the high-resolution photos to the email, send it to the recipient. Make sure to check the email settings to ensure that the email client does not automatically downsize attached photos.
By following these steps, you should be able to take and send high-resolution photos without them being downsized when emailing them from your iPad Pro.
Thank you so much for your help. I will sure give this a try!
