Personally, when I drag an iPhone photo from Photos to my desktop, it is exported with the same size and quality as an Unmodified Original or a photo shared by email as Actual Size.
Using Export with High quality on an unmodified photo should produce the same photo as Unmodified Original. That is why the size of the exported photo won’t match the original. Note that when you Export an edited photo, Photos re-encodes that photo (necessary to apply the changes). Therefore, I would only use Maximum for images imported manually, known to use a lesser compression (higher quality) originally. On the other hand, Maximum produced a file almost three times as large, with no perceivable difference in quality when blown up on a 27” non-Retina iMac. Unmodified Original, High and email as Actual Size from both iPhone and macOS all came out to the same size (although emailing from macOS occasionally produced a slightly larger file).

Make sure you pick Full Size as the Size.įor JPEG Quality, I recommend High for photos taken with an iPhone or iPad, as I believe this is the quality setting used by iOS to save photos.Īs a test, I emailed an iPhone photo to myself as Actual Size, from my iPhone then from macOS Photos (using the Share action), and also exported it using Unmodified Original, High and Maximum. If you expand the Photos section by clicking the ∨ button you will be given the choice of several parameters for your export. What I would suggest is using the standard Export command instead ( ⇧ shift ⌘ cmd E). However, if you've made edits to the photo, they will be lost with that command. is absolutely correct that you can Export Unmodified Original, which will give you a full-quality copy of your original.
