delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and
saves storage space. Dimensions will vary, but an optimized version of
a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x
1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos
can be up to 5400 pixels wide.

the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent
