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.

Thanks for this Lee, I have been hitting my head the last couple of
days over this one. 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.

Cheers,

J.
