Easy way to post and resize photos in WP?

I've been looking and looking....

I'm setting up blogs for other people with WP and I need a way for them to post and resize their pictures. I've been looking around at different plugins, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the choices.

For myself I have always just edited pictures in photoshop, ftp'd, and hand coded the img tags - but that's not going to work for people who only have a vague idea of what a blog even is!

Any suggestions that people have had good experiences with would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Looks like you have stumped us, Trisha. Anyone?

you can do this in perl, using the GD::Image (or GD::Simple) module and the GD::Image::Thumbnail extension.
essentially you can read the uploaded file and generate a thumbnail of a given size or factor of the original.
