Is there any other software that really works in this manner? Photoshop, for example, keeps track of the original dimensions so you can revert or step back in history. Web editing software, of course, doesn't touch the original image, but if you resize a picture, that resized image stays on your web page. Somebody mentioned MS Word, but it, too, behaves as I would expect.
A long time ago MC used to handle images the way you wanted. When you sized the image down, it would lose the original data. Sizing the image back up would cause pixilation. I requested as probably many others did to have the data retained after resizing. This made making desktop publishing like apps easier to produce. The side effect of the feature request was that you needed to lockloc the image after it was sized down. Is only a single line of code.
I think there are times when you would like to size an image and lose the original data for memory purposes. Suppose you have an image viewer that shows thumbnails. To implement that today, you would have to take a screenshot of the sized down image and toss the original from memory. If it really matters to someone, a quick jump to bugzilla for a feature request might be to have both sizing features as an option. While there, maybe all images that are imported should have their lockloc set to true automatically. This sounds like it would meet most users needs without breaking anyones code. Those that have their apps setting this property after importing could take it out for cleanliness.
