Very glad to learn that lowering the filesize limit on image uploads doesn’t restrict the uploading of the image and instead compresses the image below that size. I just lowered our limit to 1MB and would like to go down further. (We have lots of users in LatAm and not always the fastest connections)

Was just wondering, could the resizing function be configured for resizing the actual image resolution of the file? I just figure we’d get higher quality images if we were able to set a recommended image width for images. i.e. max width of 960 px (like Facebook) or 1024 px (like Twitter).
