How to send:

Iphone: When the image you want to send is decided, click the share icon in the lower left corner and choose Mail. Send to  info@premierfootballuk.com address 

When you click Send, a menu will pop up asking you what size to send it as. Do NOT select Large. That’s not really “large” it’s just large by email standards. You want the option that says “Actual Size” and as you can see from this screenshot, that’s the largest file size. Android Phone. When the photo you want to send is open, click on the “share” icon. Unlike the iPhone, it seems to automatically include the full size file and it tells you the size of the attachment. In general, smartphones with good cameras should have a file size of 700Kb to 2Mb+ so that will confirm for you that it’s the hi-res image.
