I do support a simpler mechanism longer term, something like

> All images must be smaller than 500k but allow people to upload stuff up to 2000k and fix on server if needed by either downsizing or reducing resolution. Try resizing on client first if possible.

But yeah, getting to this level of fidelity will take quite a while.
