Issue Summary

The two field labels "Maximum resolution for images" and "Minimum resolution for images" should really be "Maximum dimensions for images" and "Minimum dimensions for images" .

Though wikipedia admits that the former is commonly used to mean 'dimensions', this tends to trip up people with print or graphic design backgrounds.

Patch updates user interface (variable names remain the same).

Obviously it'd be ideal to update the machine name (which is still "max_resolution") in this patch too, but considering the scope of what that would break (Features exports, the existing D6->D7 upgrade path, etc.) I think just updating the label is fine. I'll put this in next time I'm working on ImageField.
