How do download my full sized original photos from iCloud back on to my hard drive?

How do download my full sized original photos from iCloud back on to my hard drive? I've tried apple.com/support over and over and cannot figure out how to exit iCloud for photo storage. The updating option goes for days on end without the progress bar advancing at all. I want my photos back onto my hard drive and be done with the cloud.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

With no details it is not clear what you problem is - we can not see you so you need to provide details including settings and why you think the full sized originals are not there

The sure solution is to restore your backup from when the full sized originals were there.
