Would you be open to someone implementing a maximum resolution setting?

I might try to implement a new feature, so I thought I'd pitch it first before investing time.

The resolution at which my camera produces photos that take up more space than I'd like. I often end up resizing them before I upload them to cloud storage. Ideally, the camera app could save photos at a lower resolution so that my phone can automatically sync my photos to cloud storage as-is. While I'm aware of the existing image quality setting, I'd prefer to set the resolution instead.

What I want to try implementing:

• Adding a setting below 'Timer' called 'Max Edge Size' that limits the pixel size of the longest edge to the given value. It's a dropdown menu containing 'Off', '2560px', '1920px' and '1080px'.
• Find some method to either immediately save the photo at a lower resolution or downsize it when needed. If you have a preference for how to do it, let me know. I can imagine you want to avoid a new dependency on an obscure image processing library for this.

Is this a feature you'd be open to including in Camera?

@pieterdd You can work on this if you want but CameraX may not support it yet. There may be an issue filed about it already.
