Not sure if you use Mac but I got tangled up with this same problem some time back. Ends up my email was set to send a medium sized image rather than full sized. You can look at the bottom if your email window and you will find a drop down list of size options. Check that you're sending at full size.

Thank you, Tina and James. I’ll look into what you suggest.

Subject: Re: DPI?
Hi,
Marilyn -
You probably mean PPI instead of DPI. Pixels per inch. If you
open the image in Photoshop and go to Image > Image Size a dialogue box will
come up allowing you to set the PPI and size of the image. Do not click
Resample. You will notice if you put in 600 PPI as the resolution, the
size will be smaller (maybe 4x6 inches). If you change the resolution to
150 PPI, the size will be enormous (maybe 25x18 inches). They are exactly
the same. Nothing has changed. When you e-mail the images and the
other party opens them, nothing has changed. They are just looking at a
different resolution. They should know that, though, if they deal with
images and printing. All they have to do to get 600 PPI is change the
resolution without clicking Resample.
Hope this helps.

Hello All,
I hope the holidays are going well for everyone and I wish you all the

I’m having a problem and I’m hoping someone may be able to help me
out.
I’m sending images via e-mail to a publishing source. When I size
the images (drawings) at my end – I size them 600 DPI. When they arrive
at the other end, they are only 150-200 DPI. I’ve read and listened to a
Photoshop tutorial about sizing images, but what it suggests doesn’t help
me.
Can anyone explain what happens to the DPI during transit and how I can
correct it?
