I got a decent shot of a buzzard today ie it's in shot and in focus!, but it's only come out at 1.69MB, so can't be sensibly cropped. And all that just made me wonder about the resolution of my other photos today. So this is the biggest: 7.25MB
@seacreature I hope I'm not confusing anyone here. Cropping means cutting away the image leaving only a smaller piece of the scene. Reducing the image in size is done through image processing software keeping the scene intact but reducing it from a 4000 x 3000 pixel image to 1024 x 768 (or whatever you choose). And of course you can do a combination of both.
@ellida Yes I do understand the difference - but I am thinking perhaps it all boils down to the same thing if one wants to crop then you can crop down to 800x600 at full resolution, or leave your image full size and it will adjust the resolution down to 800x600 anyway?
@seacreature Yes, your logic is good. The only cons are that you're uploading an unnecessarily large file and you may find that the automatic reduction performed by 365 is not as good as your original. There are discussion topics on this site e.g. 'what's the best size to upload'.

365 always resizes images to 800x600px (approx). I either reduce or crop my images to 1024wide and as a result they rarely exceed 0.5MB.
A large image like 7.25B WILL be manipulated by 365's software and may not appear as you intended. It is not necessary to send big images.
