I've managed to get this developed by our local team. There is now a
preselected option to resize any image to defaults set in the
administration pages (we've gone for 1024 x 768), maintaining aspect
ratio, which appears anywhere a file can be uploaded. The upload takes a
little longer but it makes massive savings on space. I've attached a
screen shot for information. Is there an easy way to contribute this
back? I'm not an expert in this stuff but I can ask our developers to
help out where necessary.

Title:
  Resize images at upload time

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm aware that the roadmap for 1.4 mentions resizing images on the fly
  for use in Views, however, I feel that it would be more appropriate to
  resize images when they are uploaded as this would avoid using too
  much of a user's quota. The way I envisage this is that the site
  administrator sets a maximum size and any image larger than this is
  automatically resized. Perhaps also there could be a checkbox when
  uploading to override this, in the rare case that an image needs to be
  full-resolution.
