Hi dannac... depending how many images it conserns... if small amount you can have thumb size in gallery and a separate link for download a zipfile containing the full size image. So you save the load time of the site/page

For the built-in photo gallery you can set a thumbnail and full size image.
There are also several gallery extensions with thumbnail support.
