The new 5 Mb limit for uploading photos should be more than enough, but it still might be worthwhile to automatically resize very large photos to some predetermined limit (say 3.5 Mb).
With a resize limit, the max limit for uploading could be eliminated.
Automatic photo resizing was a feature on CB.com; any size photo could be uploaded.
Photos are reduced to a max pixel dimension (2000 x 1500), which effectively limits the file size. There has to be some upload limit, for our security and the user's sanity. In my experience, you probably made a mistake if you have a jpeg over 5MB from any normal camera.
Before seeing this I coincidentally enlarged the photo (on photo pages) because smaller monitors have pretty much phased out since that post six years ago.
