This is a VERY basic hack to resize the original images during upload. I needed it so hired someone at elance.com to do it for me.  

If anybody wants to continue work on this - make it a plugin, add an admin interface, store full size originals in another folder, etc... - the please post any "working" edits here so others can use it.

This hack is for joomgallery_1_5_7_4_stable_build_20111009. I am not a programmer and I do not know if it will work with any other version of JoomGallery. For other versions, I recommend changing only the code requred, rather than replacing the entire file. Of course, always back up your files before doing any editing.

The following is the instructions the code contractor told me. Download the zip file attached to this post and follow the instructions. It's only one file, so really easy to implement. Enjoy!

======== INSTRUCTIONS AS PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR ==============

I update "administrator\components\com_joomgallery\helpers\upload.php"
Original and my version attached.
Around line #1569 I add this:
//
// Resize original image begins
//
$return = JoomFile::resizeImage($this->_debugoutput,
$source,
$this->_ambit->getImg('orig_path', $filename, null, $this->catid),
false,
1280, //$this->_config->get('jg_maxwidth'),
false,
$this->_config->get('jg_thumbcreation'),
$this->_config->get('jg_picturequality'),
true,
0
);
//
// resize original image end
//

1280 - is maximum width.
