You can use thumbnail image links
that use actually tiny images (as opposed to displaying
the full sized images small) and allow the visitor
to choose only images wanted by clicking through.
But you are stuck with choosing the size of the eventual
enlargement for the visitor.
For really big enlargements I would
show a tiny image associated with several standard links to
different sized enlargements. Each link should suggest
the size of the enlargement in its text. The visitor can
choose which size to use.
