It would be nice if uploaded pictures were not resized. Instead, a thumbnail view of them is displayed according to the admin size limit properties.
Additionally, it would be nice for users to view this full picture size. My vote would be to have a "View Full Size" link at the bottom of the single image view and have this pop open a new window which displays the actual full picture.

I'd suggest you thumbnail it, resize it, AND keep the original.
Normal display should be the resized image (640x480) for slideshows and general viewing. A link should be on there saying "display full image" with a warning that the image my be very large.
"Gallery" on the .php side of things seems to be the standard everyone is shooting for. http://gallery.menalto.com/
Eventually you won't be able to call this "Simple" anymore! Might need a new code stream.. hehe

I would still consider this a 'simple' feature. It's nothing too fancy, is simple and intuitive for the user & allows users to store their actual full image. Although perhaps the implementation may be a little complex.
I am guessing the reason for having 2 pic versions as proposed is for performance?
Another thought on details of this.....perhaps there should be 2 thumbnail photo height\wdith display options. One for big view dimensions and the other for standard view. If the picture uploaded is bigger than the big view dimensions, it gets resized to the big view.

A big yes here. A link to the full size image could be added in the Pop-Up or standard viewing window

I don't know about that. A big issue with images and the ordinary user is file size. They just don't get the image file size issue! "1500kb, 100kb, 72dpi - now I'm so confused. Why don't my images work?"

What about simply adding an option to force/not force a resize on upload? This would keep the gallery truly simple. The other end of the spectrum is needing to store source images *and* resized images, in addition to the thumbnails. This likely has a significant disk space implication, not to mention increasing the complexity of the code (no problem there, necessarily: that's what Scott's here for!)

My thought on this is from the "download" perspective.
- Thumnails, yes.
- Viewsize as it is now,
- and then a download full size icon... which allows one to download the photo for printing, or archiving.
Possibly even a checkbox for downloading the full size image within a zip of other marked images. (I know the zip will not help download size but it will allow fast marking and one download for multiple pics).

I can see the advantage in having the full sized image and a "viewsize" image.
What about tweaking it, so the no-resize checkbox will actually not resize it, but then you can specify the view size for the slideshow which is dynamically resized similar to thumbnails?
This gives you the option of using both features, one to limit size, but also to provide the original image. A link could be added (config option) that would allow the user to download the original ?

Thumbnail-viewable-printable: This would be perfect for my use- I struggled quite a bit to get a resized image that had enough resolution to be useful after it was printed, and not so big that it overwhelmed the screen when it was displayed.
~two thumbs up!
