Thank you tomZ! My problems were pretty much fixed by this snippet:
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/636/ It does exactly what i wanted with only a few glitches - does not add that checbox after saving the form when i have uploaded the picture and does not remove the delete checkbox when i have removed the image and saved. Guess the creator of this snippet can help me there.
