There are many, many photos that are not available in a high resolution (tiff, best example) format on the Internet. The evidence for that is
everywhere. There are also many photos that ARE available in a high resolution format. Same mission, same camera... why are some photos scanned for
high res distribution and others in.jpg fomat 
Because the Internet hasn’t been around all that long and the Lunar Orbiter pictures (for example) were taken 40 years ago and are in storage. The
full catalogs (listing what’s available) have been in print and available to the public the whole time and NASA’s practice has been to make a copy
(prints or negatives in the past, digital scans today) when one is requested (for a stated purpose) by interested researchers (sometimes for a small
fee). I imagine the ones that ARE available in hi-res are the ones that somebody has requested before i.e. the most popular.
Who knew that 40 years later a few people on some obscure conspiracy web site who already don’t trust NASA (and probably don’t pay their taxes)
would expect them to have every single image scanned at the highest possible resolution at their beckon call?
The point is, how is this evidence of a conspiracy to suppress the “truth”?

You mean like this?
USGS Astrogeology: Very High Resolution Lunar Orbiter Digitization Project
astrogeology.usgs.gov...
UPDATE
Recently scanned and constructed data for Lunar Orbiter V can be viewed and downloaded for the following sites: 15.1 (Dawes), 32 (Eratosthenes), 35
(Copernicus secondaries), 43.2 (Gassendi), and 48 (Aristarchus).
This is all we have been funded for this year, but please visit again soon for updates on cosmetic and cartographic products.
You guys should send them some cookies or a thank you note… or better yet some cash.
That’s a bunch of new pictures of Copernicus and of Aristarchrus for you all to go through and look for evidence of a cover-up of a “mining
operation” and a “nuclear reactor”.

miles above the surface.
Well, as has been pointed out to you already there’s quite a few full res images here…
Lunar Orbiter Photo Gallery
www.lpi.usra.edu...
They even have a fairly good scan of the one at this beginning of this thread…
www.lpi.usra.edu...
(although my copy of LO-II-162 is still better than John’s or theirs)
How are they supposed to know which ones you’re interested in? NASA can’t read your mind and not everybody is looking for “anomalies”. It
may come as surprise to you but some people actually use NASA photos to do legitimate Science… your “mission” to try and “expose” and
discredit NASA isn’t exactly at the top of the priority list.
That said, if there’s one you want that’s missing, I suggest you (politely and professionally) ask the
appropriate folks at NASA if they
can make you a copy and tell them what you want it for. Be prepared to pay for it if necessary.

Also please link me to the high res .tiff files of all the Apollo images that are displayed in jpg version at LPI
I take it you haven’t been able to find what you’re looking for here?
The Project Apollo Archive
www.apolloarchive.com...
If so, again, I suggest you (politely and professionally) ask the appropriate folks at NASA if they can make you a copy and be prepared to pay for it
if necessary.
Also, the above site is private so I suggest you get the owner’s permission before you go using his scans in books, t-shirts and coffee mugs and
selling them at UFO conventions like you’ve done with other images.
By the way, do the members of ATS get a % of your profits for the work they did helping you and John find all those “anomalies”?

Several people have already ordered copies in tiff from JPL, only to find the file sent is merely an enlargement of the jpg
Prove it. How do you know it’s an “enlarged” copy of the JPG? Has it occurred to you that the JPEG could be a “reduced” version of the
TIFF?
The whole JPEG vs. TIFF argument is pretty much a red herring anyway… especially with (8 bit) gray scale images and using low compression settings.
If you need to look at individual pixels to make something out chances are it probably isn’t there.
You’ve yet to acknowledge that the JPEG copy of LO-II-162 on my web site with a file size smaller than any of John Lear’s “high resolution”
pics posted here on ATS (in the first post of this thread) still has more detail at ~1.5 times higher resolution. Explain that.

You also obviously missed the part where a directory that DID have some 50 - 60 meg tiff versions of the Apollo series were REMOVED while people here
in this thread were downloading them... I still regret I did not save them all before posting the source...
Ah yes, “the big one that got away”…can you prove it? Was it a NASA site or were you poking around on somebody’s site where they didn’t
want you to be i.e. it was supposed to be private? Then again maybe “they” were just messing with your head.

Yes but thank you for trying LO4 and LO5 were taken from high altitude…
Wrong. The link 4DWF gave you was to hi-re images from
LO3 and LO5 and this table shows that the highest resolution images obtained by LO3
were
1 m (same as LO2) and LO5, even though it was at a higher orbit, still got
2 m resolution photos…
nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov...
Both of these are “card table” resolution. You can’t keep using this as an excuse!
