Question

Why are my pictures being saved at 3.1mp to my camera roll?

I just baught iphoto for my new ipad and everything works great on it.....except for when i try to save my edited pictures to my camera roll.....the resolution for most of my pictures are 7.1 and 12 mp...and when they go through iphoto and save them back to my camera roll they go down to 3.1mp .....is there a way to save them at there native resolution instead of droping them down several MP....they are useless to me like that .......i wonder why snapseed lets me save them at there native resolution but iPhoto doesnt.....this app is useless to me if i cant save them at the resolution that they were taken....ughhhh.....

I think iPhoto for iOS is designed to optimize photos for use on sharing sites like Facebook and photobucket. Supposedly sharing the photos to iTunes will allow you to copy them over to your computer at full size. She then to iTunes after editing them and before doing anything else with them.

The iPad optimizes photos when they are imported via the sync process. This downsizes them before they even get to iPhoto for you to edit them. Importing the photos directly from the camera using a Camera Connection Kit keeps them at their original size. iPhoto will work on photos up to 20 mp.
