Describe your issue or idea
The out-of-the-box settings for content type 'Post' have the format of the display of the image field set to 'Image style: Large' and the setting for this image style allows upscaling. If the user is unaware of this it can be a surprise, particularly if the user puts a constraint on the dimensions of the uploaded image field.
Steps to reproduce (if reporting a bug)
Either upload an image smaller than 800x600 in the image field for a post or set a constraint on the image field so that in uploading the image is scaled to a size smaller than 800x600.
Actual behavior (if reporting a bug)
The smaller image will be upscaled with consequent loss of resolution.
Expected behavior (if reporting a bug)
I would expect the image not to be upscaled by default.

Hi Francis. Yes, what config do you have in staging for it? You might have configs like: field.field.field_video_embed field.instance.node.page....
