With the Google Photo section, can friends download the original HIGH RES version?

Want to upload all of my pictures to share with friends but don't want to use Shutterfly etc, because my friends/family cannot download the high resolution version.

Yes, they can download the photos as they are in the album. However there is a catch as you cant upload photos as they are like the max resolution supported for upload is 1024 so the snaps downloaded would be of same resolution.
