What I want to do is:
1. Allow the user to use ANY SIZE image they want (for example- their camera makes 3456x2304 image) to add the item.
2. Then, I want to resize it and save only 640, 800 and 1024 size images. Finally, I want to discard the original.
What I am unsure of is the parameter "Maximum dimensions of full sized images ". If I set this to 1024, will this stop them from being able to use the 3456x2304 image to make the needed resizes???
Is this possible??

I have never used it:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:sizelimit
so you will have to experiment.

Yep, the sizelimit module works great for just that. I use it all the time. You can set size by image size or file size. Keep the original or discard it making the new size the new original, etc. It's quite flexible.

That re-size module did what I requested. Allows user to upload HUGE files, but builds appropriate re-sizes and discards the original.
THANKS floridave.
One last question:
Does it MATTER if I leave the huge images in the gallery. Meaning, is there a speedup of the database/gallery by restricting the image sizes to something smaller. It isn't an issue of space on the server, but when gallery loads an image, will it load faster if there are only 2 or 3 smaller resizes and no Full-size???

Big images only effect anything when they are actually being processed or accessed (bandwidth, etc) As for just sitting there, if people don't have permission to access the original, they are just taking up space or you can use them to rebuild the resizes.
