The resize parameters are generated based on your theme’s content width, and on the size parameters you added when you first inserted the image into the post. When you scale things down or view the post in a mobile browser, the images behave like they would without Photon: the only way to control their size is via CSS.
Changing the resize parameters based on the browser is something we’d like to implement, but we haven’t found a good way to do so yet. You can follow our progress on this in these 2 GitHub issues:
The content width of my theme is set, at 730.
The developer behind BJ Lazy load plugin is considering photon-support, perhaps you should do lunch? A combo of Photon and that plugin would speed up imageheavy posts a lot.

Agreed. Photon is already compatible with most Lazy Load plugins out there. As long as the plugin uses the data-lazy-src attribute to handle Lazy Loaded images, it should be compatible with Photon.
If it doesn’t, let me know and I’ll let the plugin author know so he can jump in this thread and we can work on that together.
Thanks for letting me know of this thread @mskogly
By coincidence BJ Lazy Load does use data-lazy-src as the attribute. However, I’ve heard several reports of BJ Lazy Load not being compatible with Photon, but haven’t found the time to investigate yet.
The incompatibility issue is most likely on my side, so I’ll try to iron it out as soon as I can find the time.
