This may be excessively precise, but if you use 700 pixels on the long edge for a photo whose dimensions are 2:3, resizing it must do something a bit funny to the dimensions, since 700 is not divisible by 2/3 without a remainder. That's why I use 900 for the long edge on 2:3 format - it retains the correct proportions. For 4/3rd I use 800 on the long edge. Thus the short edge is always 600. I could do 600 on the long edge for both, but it makes it too small on my screen.
