Thank you, Kovid, for such a quick response. I have tried it and corrected a typo ("img.findParet" to "img.findParent") and tried putting it at the top, at the bottom of my recipe to no avail. Calibre is still downloading the image as the size it appears on the web page, not the original size of the file it is reading from.

It appears I didn't give the full text of the image statement, but I don't believe it would have any bearing as your code appears to simply tell it to get the original image:

<a href="http://path.to.image.com/02-01.jpg"><img src="http://path.to.image.com/02-01.jpg?w=233&h=300" alt="filedescription" width="240" height="300" /></a>

Maybe there is something else happening I can't describe, but I certainly do appreciate your time! I will keep playing around with it!

Thank you.
