Photo file size for Instructables?
When uploading photos for a new Instructable, should we first reduce the file size? Or does the site automatically do this? Have not seen this mentioned. Thanks.

I have a Stirling engine Instructable in the works, and being able to see fine detail will be a plus.

Looks good, but be aware that for your title picture you should allow a fair bit of background at the sides as Instructables crops the main display picture to an almost square format. You may just get away with that one.
