iPhoto is Downgrading Photo Resolution

I attempted to follow a link to a branched discussion but was not "authorized" to do so.

iPhoto has significantly downgraded the resolution of photos I'm storing in it. I have thousands of 12mp images that now are no larger than 1280x960 (and no, not the thumbnails, the opened pics with the info pane open next to them).

I read in earlier posts something about the originals being stored somewhere else on my hard drive, but have not been able to locate them.

Does anyone have any idea where I might find them or if there is another reason this is happening?

All help is appreciated!

Note - your first screen cpture showing the large dimensions is of the top photo and the next two showing the smaller photo are of the bottom photo - it would help to show the same photo each time

That was intentional to show that two photos from the same batch taken at the same time (albeit 47 seconds apart) show remarkably different resolutions.
