Just What Does Optimizing Do to Photos?
When you sync photos, iTunes resizes them to 1536 pixels on the
shortest side. So, for example, a vertical shot could be something like
1536 pixels wide by 2048 pixels tall, while a horizontal shot would be
2048 by 1536 pixels.
It also converts them to JPEG format, which applies compression to
further reduce the file size. Those are still respectable dimensions,
enabling you to zoom in and retain detail, and it's unlikely you'll see
any noticeable image degradation.
