You're correct, the full resolution graphic and the lower resolution
graphics have seperate copyrights.

However in our case it would be better if we had the full resolution
graphics available as if a graphic ever needs to be resized to fit the
article better it is far better to change the size and then reduce the
resolution of a graphic than doing it the other way round.
