 * I am new to WordPress and I am not used to the concept of predefined image sizes.
   I understand that using the image sizes allows WordPress to generate 3 versions
   of a given image out of the box, but I feel as though I constantly need various
   custom sizes.
 * I understand I can add additional sizes, but it seems easier to simply use the“
   full” version of a given photo rather than feel constricted to a predefined set
   of resolutions.
 * Should I create a new image size for all images on my site or is it fine to simply
   use the “full” size for more custom sizing?

 * if you know you will use an image size quite often then it is best to create 
   the custom thumbnail size.
 * use “full size” is easier but it is not ideal for website performance

 * OR, you can edit image to the size you want to use then upload it, and add as
   full size in WordPress
