Depending on what you are trying to do, I think its always best to  
keep the ~original~ photos intact ... there is a great script  
available here:

http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/

Don't let the "thumb" fool you, its a pretty handy script that allows  
you to also resize + add filters (watermarks) and hash your URLs if  
need be.  Then in the view part of your code you basically state the  
size you want and it is cached out for you automatically.
