That file is indeed wayyyyy over 12.5 MP -- it clocks in at over 46 MP
actually! Unfortunately our current image-scaling infrastructure is simply very
inefficient with very large source PNG and TIFF files... This check is in place
to prevent server meltdowns! :)

As a workaround, upload a JPEG version -- it'll be lossy, but thumbnails are
inherently lossy anyway -- the vast majority of views of the image will be MUCH
smaller than the original.

Even if the JPEG file's at full original size it's more likely to be able to
scale successfully since the scalers can take shortcuts for JPEG it doesn't use
as much memory.
