As far as I know, you can't. All you can do is use CSS to set the
maximum width/height, but this has no effect on the original image,
which after all is on the owner's server.

You can like this in your template:
<TMPL_IF summary>
	<TMPL_VAR summary>
<TMPL_ELSE>
	<TMPL_VAR content>
</TMPL_IF>

If there's a summary, it will use that, otherwise it will use the full
content of the feed.
