Hi, Resizing stored photos as a "thumbnail" version for use as icons and so forth is a common design pattern. The usual solution is to store a second version of each photo in the db as the thumbnail version. Thus the resizing is done once, when the main photo is stored or updated. Some file storage libraries even generate the thumbnail version for you automatically. Eg Rail's attachment_fu plugin.
Often the ImageMagic library is used. Or one of its cousins. Resizing on the browser, on the fly, is probably not the best idea since: a) the full photo would have to be downloaded--could be very large given today's cameras b) would be slow. To actually do the resize, you could use the browser. Or there may be a javascript library.
