Which photo is transferred via image capture when "Optimize iPhone storage" is enabled on the iPhone

If I have "Optimize iPhone storage" enabled and then use image capture on my mac to transfer photos, which photo will be transferred? Will it be the original photo, or the "optimized" lower quality photo? Is this documented somewhere?
