Cannot email full-size photos

I used to be able to email photos from the Photos app, and choose 'Send as Actual Size', so I can then access the full-size photos on my Mac. I do this instead of importing into iPhoto so that I can retain the filters I used. Since updating to iOS 10, I can no longer do this. There is no longer a pop up asking which size I want to send the files as, and it is scaling my 213 KB photo down to 29 KB. (I can see that it is 213 KB when I import into iPhoto, but then my filter effect is gone). Does anyone know of a solution?

The option to select the size should appear, after you click the "Send" button.

Select the photo in Photos, click "Share > Mail", enter the recepient and the subject, then click "Send":

Now this panel should appear:

Are you saying that it does not? I am still seeing it on iOS10.

I justt tested again. The photo I am receiving as an email attachment, when I pick "Actual Size", will be called "FullSizeRender.jpg" and even slightly larger than announced. The Chrome effect is still applied.

The solution is to use Photos on your iPhone and sync your images to Photos on your Mac using either My Photo Stream, or iCloud Photo Library. Whatever edits you make in Photos on one device will be synced to all your other devices. You can also import the images via USB or Wi-Fi.
