Issue Summary
I have a simple question which hopefully has a simple solution:
Is there any way to allow more characters in the optional "description" field in the ImageField module? Most of the images on the site on which I am working are scientific and require quite robust explanations; most of the time they are a few sentences in length. Thank you for any help in advance.

You can set two variables to change the type and length of the description field.
In settings.php, add the following lines at the bottom:
<?php$conf['filefield_description_type'] = 'textarea';
$conf['filefield_description_length'] = NULL
?>
You could also use variable_set() to accomplish the same thing.
See #407410: Option to have longer description, which added this functionality.

Marking fixed since this was open for so long. It will close automatically in 2 weeks.
