Some of my high res edited images are dramatically losing resolution - from MBs to KBs - when i move them from Photo to my desktop. I've tried both dragging and Exporting, selecting Maximum JPEG quality and Full size.
The strange thing is it's only happening to some of them!

This can happen, if the RAW images have been edited on an iPhone. How have you edited the RAW images?
When you are using the Photos.app on an iPhone to edit RAW files from a different camera model, the iPhone will use the embedded JPEG preview to create the edited version, and that will just have the resolution of the preview.
In that case it will help to revert the edited image to the original and to edit it again on your Mac.
Which camera model created the RAW files? Is the RAW format supported by the system version of your Mac? Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma – Apple Support (UK)
