As Rosalind pointed out, I does seem to do that for the published
version. But I have seen squished images in the editor too.

So maybe we can work on a guideline for images width based on what they
look like when they are outputted to pdf. 800px for me seems about right
as above that it is hard to see what you want users to look at.

For me although the challenge of drawing the attention to the most
relevant part of the screen.
