Check the documentation about the 'imgmax' parameter here: http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/docs/2.0/reference.html#Parameters
Using 'imgmax=d' willl result in the media:content link to point to the original file uploaded. Tom, as for the JPEG compression issues seen: API based uploads don't apply any special recompression to the image data. You could do a simple check by first uploading the image through the API, then requesting the original image link as explained above, then downloading the original image from that URL. Then compare the original and the downloaded files and let me know what you find. Thanks.
