Image size reduces while it send through "ShareMediaTask" in windows phone 8

Question

In my image editing application i am providing two option to the user, 1) save image to Media library and another share it through ShareMediaTask. The issue i am facing is while saving the image to library the size of the image is 1.5 mb. If i share the same image through ShareMediaTask(Gmail / Hotmail etc) The size of the image reduces to 330 Kb. Hence it affects the quality of the image. How i can share the same image in Media library without losing the size and quality in windows phone 8.

I also tried the same share through library (ie without using my application). Still the result is same.

If anyone had a solution to this issue please update your suggestions.

Thanks,

Stez.

The email application automatically downscales images, there is no way to control this. An alternative solution would be to, eg, upload the image to Skydrive and email the link.
