Greetings--
This may be a "yes and no" situation. If the originator of the photos in question placed them in a "public" part of the DropBox 'system', Venkat should have been able to download them in whatever size/resolution they existed there, and Mr Ekkerman's response appears to be 'spot on'.
I was just able to open the link provided, and was able to view and save the photos to my computer. I was then able to open them in an image editor (Irfanview), and adjust their viewable sizes to 4 X 6, and/or 8 X 10, depending on the the resolution and 'size' of the originals (as I received them).
Venkat should be able to view the images in a browser, then save them to a folder on his computer. If those images are .png or some other format that is not a "native format" for Windows apps, then a freeware app like Irfanview [I have no affiliation with the company/individual who has compiled this application] should be able to open them, possibly edit them, then save them to a 'universal' format like jpg or gif, and then edit them to adjust size, focus, b rightness, contrast, gamma level, etc.
If Venkat is anything like me, he'll learn to do this stuff as he goes along. I'm no expert, but those wedding photos didn't need a lot of work, and he should be able to make them look memorable for his friends.

Hi Mark,
I don't think seeing the pics has anything to do with having Dropbox installed.
I don't because it's almost useless to me. My ISP is throttling uploads in an effort to limit illegal file sharing,
so any sizable uploads takes hours and hours. at 50kb's (or less - mostly less)
I can see the pics without any involvement of Dropbox software on my machine,
but as I wrote in my previous post ,the easiest way is to just download the zip file.

After posting this I realized that the reason you aren't seeing the
pictures full screen is because you must not have the latest version
of Dropbox installed which comes with graphic, and video support for
public sharing. If you have a Dropbox account then update it to the
latest version, but if you do not have a Dropbox account use this
link to create a free one, and you will get an extra 500Megs of space
for free for life.

It is a great free service with no negatives, and you risk nothing by
installing it. I think once you have the latest version of Dropbox
you will be able to enlarge the pictures as easily as I did.
