Comment (by roytanck):

 I ran into this, and noticed that reducing the resolution of the images
 made them upload perfectly. Initially, I tried uploading images exported
 from Lightroom at 7500px (the maximum value in the guidelines). I tried
 two images, and both failed.

 When I modified the Lightroom export settings to scale them down to
 6000px, both uploaded without issues. All other export settings were the
 same.

 I assume that processing the images allocates a lot of memory, and more so
 for high resolution images? Perhaps that could be part of the issue?
