I would also like call your attention to the Attach This ! project on cakeforge (disclaimer : its my project). It handles uploads (including images) using swfupload (with fall back to normal form) but also is distributed with a MIT licensed alternative to phpThumb which can re- size images on the fly (and then cache them).
http://cakeforge.org/projects/attachments/ Come talk to me in #cakephp or #attach_this (on irc.freenode.net) if you want a private demo of attach this.
