Google+ Picasa photo upload – low resolution

google-plus-photos

I tried uploading an album to Google+ via Picasa.

I tried selecting both Original Size Images as well as 2048 Max width options. (Photos are 8MP and I have not run out of free storage.)

But the photos are uploaded in 800×600.

What could be the reason behind this?

Picasa shows two blue rounded arrows next to each photo.

Does it mean that it has only uploaded thumbnails/previews and not the entire photos?

If you use the picasa client and are signed up to google+ it shouldn't be a problem.
