Tumblr: How to use high-res photos in TEXT posts?

Question

since there is no answer ins similar posts at stackoverflow, I am posting this...

When I post a TEXT post in tumblr, my images get downsized. How can I use the HI-RES of the original photo I upload?

In the template I only see this one, with no hint to photo sizes:

{block:Text}
    <section class="content">
        {block:Title}
        <h1>{Title}</h1>
        {/block:Title}
        {Body}
    </section>
{/block:Text}

Also the official documentation doesn't help there: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_themes#text-posts

See here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14710157/scale.jpg

Any ideas?

Thank you very much, rainer

That's right, but it was not answered there... Still unresolved :( — Rainer, Nov 29 '12 at 14:22
You can't get a higher resolution if you upload the image to Tumblr within a Text post because Tumblr resizes them to be a max of 500px wide. — Ally, Dec 01 '12 at 14:51

Use {block:Posts inlineMediaWidth="1280"} and {/block:Posts} instead of {block:Posts} and {/block:Posts}. See How to use high resolution photos in text posts in Tumblr?

So to answer that...

Tumblr resizes images in text posts to max width of 500px. You can't change that.
