 > Why not let the user select in the settings whether the BIG original
 photo should be stored or not?

 Yep, that definitely will be a possibility. Just wondering if it should be
 another checkbox on the Settings => Media screen or just settable from a
 plugin. If the users don't want to use their sites as "photo storage" they
 should be able to set that.

 > Perhaps even save these huge photos in a separate directory or mark the
 filename somehow, to let the new "big" file take over the original
 filename?

 Not sure about the separate directory. That makes sense only when the
 users access the back-end through FTP. But the file names should
 definitely be "marked". Thinking appending something like `-original`
 right before the file extension would be sufficient.
