I would have thought anyone capable of taking a screen shot is capable of resizing an image.
Just say what size you want in px (and a max file just in case) and suggest users try to upload a suitable size if poss.
It's all very slick if it works but still wastes bandwidth if the server is going to reduce it and loses quality if it is going to expand it.
There's also a good chance that person who submits will produce a better end-result than the server in terms of quality.
I have seen some screenshots in the DB that were so poor you could hardly make them out.
Say what you want: them as don't ask, don't get.
;)
Would it be possible to offer the option of using imagemagic to resize/format the uploaded images?

If we are able to bump the size, we should still not accept images that are too big (>1MB for example) but instead present the user with a message that explains that the picture would be much smaller using jpeg for example.
So the scheme is:
- let the server accept big files
- check the received size
- if the picture is too big, delete it and tell the
user to save it as jpeg for example
Having heavy images will slow down screenshot displaying.

Why don't we just bump the max size up a bit?
Jeremy, is that ok from
a disk space perspective?

Yes I know about it.
The problem is that the file is bigger than the
maximum allowed by the
server.
I'll try my best to find a solution (I already
tried but it doesn't work
on the live server).
Please use jpeg when uploading game-like
screenshots and png for "text
and lines" screenshots. This rule makes
screenshots small enough
usually.
Thanks.

about the root cause. Jon, any
