 The current image size limit of 2000 x 1200 and maximum of 2500 pixels is
 a bug and limiting uses of WordPress. All cameras since 2010 take pictures
 that are at least 2700 x 2300 pixels. This limit prevents people from
 uploading images to their website and this limit should never have been
 put into WordPress from version 5.3. Most people are on good enough
 internet connection to deal with images sizes above 1024 x 1024. This
 needs to be changed back and people allowed to upload images of any size
 to their WordPress websites.

 This limit needs to be removed or option allowed for it to be changed to
 modern image size that is often above 4000 x 3000, this is just most
 modern mobile phone image size.
