Sorry, I don't use PB (and don't intend to) so I can't do this for you.
It's definitely the BB. I can download onto my laptop and get the full-res image (30+K), but when I go to the same exact image and download via my BB it downloads a compressed (~11K) image. If I first hit "Full Image" to get the BB to not compress the image, and then DL it to my BB, I'll get the uncompressed image.

I still think that there should be a way to turn off (and on) image compression...most of the time you will want it on (for browsing speed), but sometimes the image quality is important. To have to manually reload every image in it's uncompressed form, and then download it, seems like overkill. IMO, I should just be able to switch on a "Use all full images" switch until I tell it to go back to using compressed images while browsing.
