Why are my photos blurry in the photos app on macbook pro

My mac has downloaded everything from icloud (it says so), but when I open a photo in the photos app (the original from apple) it's blurry. I have set that my mac download every original photo in the original size on the mac. What can I do? I have plenty of space in icloud as on my mac.


PS: Sorry for my English!

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

Hello, MathiSLV.


I appreciate your response. Please check the following:


"On your Mac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 or later*:
  1. Open the Photos app.
  2. Choose Photos > Preferences > iCloud > Download Originals to this Mac."
Download iCloud photos and videos - Apple Support


Can you confirm that you have selected Download Originals? If so, please consider answering the following questions.


Are you connected to a solid Wi-Fi network?

Do your photos load once you click on them individually?

Are all photos blurry on your Mac that were taken with your iPhone?


Cheers.

If the issue persists, consider answering the following questions: 


  • Are photos blurry on the original device?

The Original photo’s come From my IPhone. I save them in iCloud (I have plenty of space left, 100gb free from the 200gb). My Mac download them from ICloud als it says that he has completely downloaded everthing from ICloud. I have set the setting in a way that the Mac download all photos from icloud. Still the photos are blurry.
