I have an image 800px by 300px. I upload it into an article via the controls and it gets resized to 500px by 188px. Not only that, but the size increases from 59Kb to 96Kb.

What gives?

So I found out that the size was being restricted by what was set in the Cat View settings.

Still shocked that the image size has gone from 59Kb to 169Kb! Nearly 3 times bigger than the original!
