Question:

Download photos from Yahoo groups?

it appears that any photos uploaded are then displayed or stored in smaller JPEG versions. If I want to download, save, and print a photo, how can I download the original size so that I get the max resolution when I go to print them ?

ie - uploaded photo was originally 90k - 200k, but the medium and large only show up as 26k or 40k - so something is being compressed out and lost in the jpeg.

  1. I believe the files are converted when uploaded.  I myself have noticed no way to access anything larger than Yahoo Group's Large size, and have noticed that this Large size is never more than 800 pixels in its longer direction (the original would thus be saved if both dimensions were smaller than 800 pizels, but if not, then the original is compressed in its dimentions so that the larger dimension is 800 pizels).  So if the photo originally had one or both dimensions in excess of 800 pixels, I believe you can't download the original.
