By default, when you transferring photos from computer to your iPod via  iTunes, iTunes will  optimize your photos while it sync to the iPod. This optimization results in a copy of the photo that is of less size and less quality than the original.  So when you transferring photos from iPod back to computer,  you will get small size photos. 

To bypass this process and keep the quality and resolution of your photos, do the following steps: 

1. Run iTunes and connect iPod to your computer.
2. Select the iPod in the iTunes Source list, confirm your iPod set to “Disk use” mode. (because iPod Touch and iPhone can not set to this mode, so this method will not working for iPod Touch and iPhone ).

Transfer full size photos - 1

3. Select the “Photos” tab in iTunes and check the “Include full-resolution photos” checkbox.
 

Transfer iPod full size photos - 2

Done!
