This is exactly what we're supposed to be able to get right with Drupal, and apparently Drupal out of the box does it exactly wrong. It's aggravating and makes me want to throw out the whole way inline images are done.

In the Teachers with GUTS case study for example the Bookmarks graphic is presented at, at the very largest, 818 by 397. Even at that size, it has some barely legible text. Clicking the image does not provide a larger version. Yet the image that is actually loaded is 2554 by 1240.

Instead, here's what should happen:

  1. An inserted image is sized to the maximum width it can be displayed. This requires knowledge of the theme, and so should be configurable.
  2. It is automatically linked to its full-sized version, if someone wants to click on it. I suppose in a nearly-full-browser-window lightbox.

I think an automatic solution would be not much harder than even conceiving the steps for a manual version, let alone doing it every time.

Thoughts @cedewey @gnuget @dinarcon ?
