Ok, Now I understand The images we see today on Tombo and CCA are a reduced quality image and they will not change. Family search will have high quality images but the viewing of them will be restricted.

The quality of the CCA records is the problem. In the later years, they uploaded higher quality images, but the initial online books have really low quality versions. If FamilySearch allowed you to see them (if covered under the same agreement as mainland Portugal, only LDS church members are allowed to see them in FamilySearch), you'd see that they provide a much higher quality image than CCA ever has. And yes, I do know that they all come from the same source. It's just that FamilySearch gives you the scan in it's original max scan resolution, and CCA reduced it in size and quality to save on the network bandwidth.

Then If I try to view these records through Family Search the quality will be poor but if we view them through Tombo and CCA they will be the same as we see today?

Do I understand this correctly?

The Portuguese archives are not available from FamilySearch, except for those with LDS accounts or some rare cases like Braga or Coimbra. There are books available in CCA where the image is so low resolution that I might as well be looking at it in Minecraft, and the only possibility to read them is to go to a FHC and ask for the microfilm.
