Hey J.
BTW... You might be surprised as to how much you actually need the full size images. For editing, of course, but for hosting, about 99% of the images I use from Picasa are the standard sizes, mostly between 640 and 800px wide and are loaded directly from PWA. Setting up my banner space to be wider than 800 is really what screwed me up and required me to put the proxy together for the other 1% of images which are actually small images (940px x 90px) anyway, but just odd dimensions.

Unfortunately if there is no way around this I must find another service, perhaps Flickr, that doesn't have this size limitation. I need to be able to load the original image directly into my Flash app, not least because Picasa's JPEG compression is of morbidly low quality. Naturally Picasa's scale demands bandwidth conservation where possible, but my site will be very low-volume but demands high quality. Does anyone know of a way around this limitation, or of a movement to have it removed? Presumably it's just a difference in the header for the full size image, which prompts a download. Of note, the limitation does not effect Firefox (Mac v3.5.1) accessing the image from Flash at least.
