Copy and paste image not working mac

2 i tried unmapping short keys for use with my windows keyboard on my mac

still not working

If you want to copy & paste pictures from Apple Notes to an eM Client email message with the shortcut keys or using the right click copy & paste option, first “dbl-click on the picture / image in Notes” which will then open the Mac “Preview program” or whatever Mac image preview program you have set as default.

Then use the Apple shortcut keys ⌘ C and ⌘ V (or whatever keys you have set in the OS) to copy and paste the image from the Preview program into eM Client, or Right click copy on the image in the Preview program & then Right click paste into eM Client. This method works 100% every time for me using the latest eM Client for Mac.

As if you just try and copy the image in Notes directly to eM Client “without first dbl-clicking the image in Notes”, it normally won’t paste into and eM Client html message, as “it doesn’t copy the bitmap image / picture properly to the Mac OS clipboard”. Some limitation or problem with Apple Notes and Images when copying directly to other programs.

Eg: If i try to copy and image directly from Apple Notes and paste it into Pinta Paint program on Mac which is one of the best Paint programs on Mac, it says its not a valid image. However if i first dbl-click that same image in Apple Notes and then copy and paste that image from the Mac Preview program, it then pastes into Pinta Paint fine.

Googling this issue, its been a problem for years copying and pasting images / pictures directly from Notes to other apple programs. Hopefully Apple fix that in the OS one day.
