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.
