 Replying to [ticket:19174 jane]:
 > 1. Is it going to scale things up as well?

 No.

 > 2. Is it scaling down and only uploading the scaled down version, or is
 it still uploading the full size? If someone chooses Link to: Original
 file, would they link to the 'large size' or the original size?

 This depends on the uploader runtime and browser used. HTML5 (the default
 runtime) would scale the images before uploading in FF and Chrome but not
 in Opera or Safari. Silverlight or Flash (used in IE) will scale before
 uploading: http://www.plupload.com/

 Perhaps something like the second option suggested by @DrewAPicture would
 be better:

 {{{
 [] Scale down large images

 Images will be proportionally resized to the large size selected in
 <a>image options</a>
 (1024 x 1024) if they are larger.
 }}}
