With a bit of php code, it is possible to do any or all of the following:

- detect the original size
- resize the image
- output in a standard format (eg. always PNG, regardless of original)
- extract EXIF details (date photo was taken, exposure details)

I have some code that I knocked together for my photo collection, so I 
may have some code that is of use to you.

If you want to see what I've done, drop me an email offlist.
