In my applications, I tend to upload the original into one directory and keep it there, then resize and drop the resized image into the directory where it will be normally accessed. While this would obviously not work in a case where the volume of unsized uploads would cause disk storage problems, I like it because it means that the original is at hand for me if there is some problem along the way... and, if some client calls and says, do you have that picture we uploaded, but we need the original, we lost it, I can produce it for them.
