## Disgrifiad

In WordPress 5.3, several improvements were made to how images are processed. One
of these improvements was the concept of “BIG images”. When an image is uploaded
that exceeds the “BIG image” threshold (2560 by default), a new “full” size image
is generated. This new image is then used instead of the true original when generating
image subsizes to reduce server load.

Prior to 5.3, it was possible for the originally uploaded image to be displayed 
on the front-end, even when they were not “web ready”. Unnecessarily large images
can be bad for performance and wastes bandwidth (which is unfortunate for those 
with slow Internet, or bandwidth caps by their service plans). This new full size
image will now be displayed instead.

There are some scenarios where disabling this threshold would be desired, though.
Maybe you run a photography site that
 needs to display original images, or your
theme has full screen backgrounds.

This plugin disables the “BIG” image threshold and preserves the true originally
uploaded image as the full size.

This plugin simply disables the new WordPress 5.3 big image threshold function, 
so it’s super lightweight. It works great on new uploads, allowing to use image 
wider than 2560px. Thanks!

Thank you for developing the Disable “BIG Image” Threshold plugin. For those wishing
to display photographs in their original form, the recent WordPress scaling “enhancement”
was very troubling. Carter

Fixed error: “Post-processing of the image failed. If this is a photo or a large
image, please scale it down to 2500 pixels and upload it again.”

This plugin is a life-saver, and very necessary for my site where I want full control
over image quality + scale. Works perfectly.
