In real world here's what happens: cropping/resizing takes time and users just don't do it. About 95 percent of users just take a gazillion megapixels photo of a brick and upload it and say "I have a brick that looks like this" and a 400 by 300 image is more than enough. I believe only 5 percent of images require a hi-res version and those will be served when the user clicks onto the image. Anyway people who don't want the high-res version will not be forced to download it on opening the page.

cropping/resizing takes time and users just don't do it. I might be a little bit deadlocked in my attitude about that, so please excuse me...then the users need to learn to do it! Users need to be educated and taught about markdown, and we've seen that they can learn how to use it. Why not this, too?
