How do I download specific original images from iCloud to my iPhone

I have been tearing my hair out for 30 mins on this

I have iCloud set up with my photo library and photo stream. It’s set to optimise storage so full images are held in iCloud.

I’m trying to order some prints via my iPhone but the images in ‘all photos’ are low res

Without logging on via pc or Mac (I have no access at the moment), how do I download these 10 photos from iCloud to my iPhone for the purpose of ordering this gift?

Thanks

If you tap on the desired photos, a full resolution photo should download.

Hi Eric, thanks for your reply but this doesn’t seem to happen. It stays low res and there is a ! In a circle on the bottom right of these images

You are welcome. Try Settings/Your Name/iCloud and slide off syncing. Wait a few minutes and then slide syncing on.

Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
