Image Bug in Hubpages Article Editor

   When I download an image and upscale it to increase resolution then upload to the same capsule and delete the original image, the editor keeps reducing the width to 520 from 1200. It seems to keep wanting to use the old image.
   
   Edit: I tried deleting the capsule, and uploading a new image. The editor still reduces the resolution to 520 pixels, so I can't fix an article. I've noticed another phenomenon too on several occasions where the capsule uses old source names for images from years ago and I have to keep changing them back.
   
   Another piece of information. When a 1200 pixel wide image is uploaded, then viewed in the editor after exiting edit mode (viewed by right clicking and selecting "open image in new tab", then clicking the "+" cursor to zoom, the resolution is 520 pixels wide when that image is saved. When I do the same thing on Discover, the width is 760 pixels wide.

   Maybe what's happening is that images aren't allowed to be downloaded full size?
   
   I did another experiment and uploaded a 1920 wide image I sourced from Pixabay. When I download this from Discover, it's still only 760 pixels wide. When I view it on screen in the Hubpages editor, it's a 1024 pixel image, but reduces to 760 wide on download.

      The only way to download the original full size image is from your “photos” tab. I gave more details on that in my reply to your other post in the other thread.

         Thanks, I'll try that Glenn.

   Eugene, Another point is that it’s not based on the width of your screen, but on the width of the browser window. That's why I experiment with dragging the window width to see how the images render for various sizes.
   
   I read your article about drag on dust to check that, and the images properly follow the width of the browser.
   
   By the way, I enjoyed that article. I often think about things like that. And I like how you wrote a unique and informative educational essay on it, specifically explaining how drag and weight of dust particles affect the time to reach terminal velocity.

      Thanks Glenn. Technically there's actually an error in it. The drag equation apparently only works at relatively high velocities, not the lower velocities at which dust falls. That equation for terminal velocity applies to spheres that are falling fast. So I need to do a bit more swatting up on fluid dynamics. I saw a question on Stack Exchange about which of the two equations should be used and I need to read that before editing the article. I didn't want to be giving readers incorrect information, so I had unpublished it for a while, but I republished it again in case it goes off the boil with Google. I've also got a similar article on terminal velocity for humans.
      
      Edit. Just noticed I duplicated a whole paragraph of equations by mistake. Good thing I read it again.

         I often find sections I need to improve in my old articles too. I always find something to work on when I go over old articles. Then I keep track of how Google traffic changed some time after the updates. I keep a log of all my changes to see if they helped.
