another aspect that should be considered is where an image is used.

That is difficult to manage, given how Mediawiki works. The image itself is on the image page, where it is in full size (if it was high res to begin with) and there are no red lines or anything running through it. Images aren't actually on any article pages, as you know, and the article pages just link to the image page.

My understanding about this, after talking to our template guru, is that the image page is the same no matter which article page links to it (that is, it's the same regardless of how it's then later used in different articles). So, you need to have the appropriate image page template linked to that image (if it is explicit, I mean) and you can't predict which articles will later want to incorporate that image or link to it.
