I think it might be easy enough to provide:
Option to resize every image to admin-settings on upload or, Allow the user to use the image-resizing tools on upload (similar to your screenshots from the one tool).
If your'e saying you can probably provide both options then that sounds great.
I've just been checking the news on what's happening at FCK and their new commercial image management add-on is here: http://www.fckeditor.net/extras/ckfinder
I assume it would have to go through more serious integration to work properly with DNN as far as permissions are concerned. Apart from that it integrates nicely because it resides inside the FCK workflow. It does not however do image resizing.. it's really just a thumbnail file management add-on and therefore not of any great additional use when creating content.
When you open that page, click the Image Insert button in the FCK editor there, then click Browse Server and wait for the add-on to load. I works like FCK in that it has right click options.
I'm posting it because it could possibly provide some food for thought for the Access Manager.

Yes, ckfinder does have some interesting features.
I am currently working on integrating the actual thumbnail-image display mode, to be switched on/off from the normal file-details grid. The code to generate thumbnails in integrated...not yet generating until the above is complete. I originally planned for allowing the user to specify Thumbnail height and width. For thumbnail generation, we will always want to keep aspect ratio...so I'm thinking this will just be the admin sets a max-width for thumbnails. The thumbnail generating code I have already scales properly based on this single base.
I also spent some time on the admin side of the module, using the DNN Label controls to provide the help-tooltip icons.
I must juggle time between other projects, but hopefully I'll have enough of the major features integrated soon...so I can add the new version to a test site for some more input.
I have a question to robax: can you post a link to "File manager module that duplicates the core file manager"?

You can find it on Snowcovered as TKFilemanager.
With carefully applied roles and permissions, you can set it up to allow non-admin users to delete their content files off the server.
I've been using it for about 7 months and if it worked flawlessly, it would be incredibly useful. However, it has a quite a few problematic bugs and the developers don't reply to anything, all of which make the Adverageous module here far more promising.... and the image management aspect may very well make it the most important additional module to have in a DNN installation.
Hence why I'm keen to help Scott here nail it all down nicely :D
