After reading this I decided to test this to see what effect the resizing default would have on the same picture. The picture below (it is a pencil drawing conversion I did with photoshop) did not look right once I posted on TDP. The first one I will post with the setting set at 800. The second I will delete the parameter. The picture width was converted to a width of 800 with DPP

Now no Setting
