That's exactly the system of maintenance/use I had settled on, James. And, yes, it's gooooooood to have the original that a client will ultimately need and not be able to find. ;o)
I'm going to setup folder structures that will handle all the versions I will need for a site, such as: - Original - Width_400 - Width_100 Etc... whatever the site will call for. And I can add variations as I need to. And if space should ever become an issue, I can always burn the older orginals to a CD or backup to my FTP/Backup server on my network for archiving. It's going to be really nice to be able to upload a photo and have the versions created and deposited in their folders all at once by CF. It has be a *real pain* to have to teach clients how to resize a photo to 400 pixels and to not upload an original photo that would be displayed as a popup that was 2000 pixels wide! And then they wonder what's wrong with the website!!!!! Thanks for the tip.
