Still please create an enhancement ticket.

We currently do NOT degrade the photo when importing; This is the  
reason you see it full size. I see your point about degrading the  
image, but we still need to enforce some limit on import/upload.  
Resizing a large image in the browser is a waste of bandwidth and  
dynamically resizing it server side before serving it is an expensive  
processor operation.

We probably need a combination of the two for maximum administrator  
flexibility: A maximum resolution to save, and a maximum size to  
display.
