I have a question..I have the photos on my xsmax set to “optimized images” and not “store the originals”, so the quality of the phones on phone is lower but iCloud is still higher. Are all of these excellent photos posted here the “optimized” lower quality versions from the phone, or the high quality version stored? Lap, how do I retrieve the full version when I want to view it, say from the phone, for example. Thank you

When you tap on an image, the higher quality version gets downloaded from iCloud. When people upload pictures, the device automatically downloads the highest quality before uploading.

Ah ok, so even when I click on an image to open it, at any time, I am viewing the highest quality image ?
 
I've only viewed the pics on this thread on my XS Max. But viewing them on my iMac these pictures look even more incredible.
