A few years ago I aided in making a bird photography website, made by
Cocoon. So, I contributed back to Cocoon a block/plugin which scales
the images on the fly, and Cocoon's caching will take care of
minimizing the resizing happening. Advantage was that only the
originals needed to be managed, the rest was handled internally in
Cocoon.

On the actual website, there was buttons for increasing and decreasing
thumbnail size and the download suggested some sizes available, where
pictures exceeding 1024x768 was not free of charge.


Cheers
Niclas
