To clarify, I meant that the images I can obtain are lower-resolution JPGs
rather than the original-quality TIFF files. This is true whether I export
through either the individual image download (by clicking the Down Arrow as
shown in the first section of the export help page http://help.openmicroscop
y.org/export.html
<https://www.google.com/url?q=http://help.openmicroscopy.org/export.html&sa=D&usg=AFQjCNHlylDI2TzzUY7O9gJCQ_U7A_UEnQ>)
or by using the public web API (e.g. by issuing the following command: curl
"http://idr-demo.openmicroscopy.org/webclient/render_image/3194301/?c=1&q=1
<https://www.google.com/url?q=http://idr-demo.openmicroscopy.org/webclient/render_image/3194301/?c%3D1%26q%3D1&sa=D&usg=AFQjCNGoCnWG1CCDO3ekhZzsm68jmhNd6w>"

I would like to have access to the original-quality images for all images
in the two datasets I mentioned previously:

> idr0028-pascualvargas-rhogtpases and idr0033-rohban-pathways/screenA

That is great that the full downloads will eventually be supported through
EBI. Is there an expected timeframe for that capability to come online?
Assuming that there is some non-trivial infrastructure required there, is
there any other way that we could have access to those two datasets in a
more timely manner?

Thanks
