The suggested size is about 100K, but as Ian points out you can use larger files. But if you put a lot of 1meg files and then try to do a Photo Pedigree which can display more than a dozen images on a single page, I often see this bring most computers to their knees. And since the images are never actually displayed at a size large enough to show the full detail of such a large file it doesn't make sense to use these large images - Thus the "suggestion" to keep file sizes down.
