I was not sure if I should post this in Development, Suggestions, or Marketing, so the General section is as good as any.
At one time, I was quite happy if I could make my image large enough to reach the minimum size of 4MP.
Now, with large sensor cameras, we can get sharp files at 24 or 36MP, or alternatively, crop a large file in 6 different ways to make multiple subimages. Is it better to post just one image in the original large size (consequently making the individual objects and features in it perhaps too small for the thumbnails), or would you split the large image into several smaller images (so they would look bigger in the thumbnails)?
What's best for the buyer?
Obviously, buyers on the subscription sites will choose most often the largest available size and then they crop it any way they want, but in the Symbio marketplace they may select the smallest size that will do, so proper cropping may be more important.
Another issue with the image size is that I'd like to see more than 4 sizes available for the download, incl. panoramic format. I realize that we can specify the individual 4 images sizes, but right now, the difference between the last two or three image sizes seems too much. Having at least one more size would allow more flexibility in pricing.
One more constraint with having only 4 image sizes is the fact that even if we submit the largest image available, that size may vary across the portfolio. For instance, some images were taken with a 6MP and some with a 12, 16 or 24MP camera. With the present setup, all these sizes in their maximum availability are priced on the same level.

Something new about image sizes settings modify after upload? I really don't find myself well with these sizes...It will come soon or no chance?
