one thing you could do is simply resize the image on the page that
displays it. in other words, on your "item_detail.asp" page, include
height and width attributes in the image tag that resizes the images
that people upload to your site. i'll admit it's not perfect, but
it's something i've had to implement on some of our sites where
people can upload photos.
note... this doesn't affect file size, just display size. a 100kb
file that is 800px wide, but displayed at 400px wide is still 100kb.
