But it will also make copies of it in other sizes you need. See the settings/image.ini file (overridden in settings/override/image.ini.append.php). When you call an image, you specify which of those sizes you want (original, small, etc.). This is done in the template code or, if it's an object in a XML block, in the properties. Here's a helpful (if old) introduction to the image system: http://ez.no/download/ez_publish/changelogs/ez_publish_3_3/new_image_system The comments in settings/image.ini are also helpful. If you need an image size not provided by default, best practice seems to be to add a new one rather than adjust an existing size.
