Thanks, this would be fine.

Well, the image I used is this one. It was available because I had
downloaded it the other day:
https://www.europeana.eu/fr/item/2021012/_42FFE0B5C39B7F9819D6D3692B2F4154
The format is jpg. I have no idea why I get a tiff attachment when I try
to include a local jpg file. Maybe the macOS clipboard offers several
formats and Emacs/Org choses one option because it is offered first or
for some other reason? Or some kind of conversion plays into this on the
system level when copying to Emacs? Or there is something wrong or
unsusual with the jpg file, perhaps it was a tiff file in the first
place, later converted to jpg. I do not know.
There is one more thing: My Emacs init time has got slightly longer
since updating to Org 9.7.1 from ~1.9 to 2.273441 seconds. I
re-installed Org and the depending packages, as you recommended
(org-contrib, org-static-blog). No more changes, same setup as before.
@Christopher, thanks for your suggestion, I'll have a look if it fits
into my init file when I rework it mid summer.
Regards,
Jürgen.
