I used to connect my iPhone to my computer and download the pictures I wanted BUT then I noticed that some of them were in very small format once downloaded and you could barely see them. I did a little research and found that the phone compressed some photos "to save space". I got my iCloud account squared away and now I download the pictures from there. You can select one picture and hit the download icon (looks like a cloud with a down arrow) and a single picture is downloaded. You can select more than one picture, hit the download icon and the files are downloaded as a zip file which you can then treat as another folder on your computer.
