Image picker how to limit image size on upload?

@TonyS
You can’t do this on the device before upload, the full image size is uploaded, then any compression is done server side.

The image picker needs a complete overhaul IMO, see this thread where Victor and I hash out some inner workings

Slow performance in Asia and with photos generally

On closer inspection… During the process of the component Image Picker it appears to go black when the image is uploaded, then flash reloads with the same image. I believe what is happening is the image is uploaded, then the same image is served from imgix, now compressed. So I am uploading a 2MB photo, to then immediately download a 600KB copy of the same photo. Can anybody on the forum confirm the same? I think this might be something that @Victor has experience in.
