We don’t need dedicated servers nor special image processing.  
Indeed we prefer the server not to process images at all, is the mision if the photographer to prepare them as he likes.

We have been running for 17 years with no need for that.

It is the yser choice to decide which is the size if the image he is decided to upload and take the risk it may be stolen.

We just prefer making image download not evident, as flickr, 500px and other sites fir image sharing do.
