Individual photo size settings or true dimension

It would be great if there was a way to be able to set different sizes for each photo within a set as a lot of photographers use composite images of different dimensions in their posts.

Or to be able to display each photo within a set at their true dimension so that composite images are not distorted.

Nevermind I just worked out how to do it.  Turn image letter boxing on fixes this.  Feel free to delete my request.  Sorry :)

hmmm, letterboxing, is that what it does?  OK, well, guess I have an idea for built in help... posting up here in the next few.

Hmmm, nope, does not help one bit.  When I maximize the photo is still cropped.  It shoudl go into lights out mode where the background is grayed out and the photo left the to maximum size WITHOUT croppign.

@chrysyel -- my personal suggestion would be images where the longest side is 1600 pixels and using server-side resampling to auto-magically create the subset of your image.  blogshow now supports retina (and all other high ppi displays), so as long as your server has the power to crunch the images, i say upload big and let the server do the work for you.

otherwise, 900px wide is about industry standard i think.
