Q: how do i access full size versions of my images ?

I only see the small versions of all my images.  How do I access the larger versions?  I went to attach an image to an email it was just over 2 megapixels but it said over 17 mega pixels were available

    select the image and export - you can choose to export the unmodified original and have exactly what you imported or export a TIFF or a  JPEG with any of several compression levels (quality setting) or with a maximum pixel dimension  --  you have complete control over what you export from a very small, low quality JPEG to the exact original to a very large TIFF

     

    And of course you are confusing photon pixel size with file byte size - they are not the same think at all

     

    and a larger file does not mean a higher quality image
