Here’s an update on photos, photo galleries/albums, easy uploading, photo resizing, etc. in Drupal.
1.) Image Module
The basic Drupal module, together with Image Assist.
:|: Pros
- Very integrated with Drupal; so easy to insert images into regular entries
- Easy to upload (one at a time)
- Sidebar integration (“Random Photo”)
:|: Cons
- No multiple upload (coming in 4.7)
- No auto-resize on upload and delete original image (there’s a fix, but it doesn’t work yet in 4.6.3, maybe 4.7)
2.) Acidfree
Multimedia module (photos, videos, etc.)
:|: Pros
- Easy upload
- Multiple photo upload
- Upload via webserver (existing photos in a folder on a/your site)
- Nice-looking galleries
- Easy thumbnail and “medium size” image resizing on server
- Nice sidebar integration (“Random Photo”)
:|: Cons
- No auto-resize on upload and delete original image
3.) Gallery2
High-powered gallery program; integrated with Drupal via a module; not exactly seamless integration (e.g. themes) yet, but probably coming soon;
:|: Pros
- Extremely easy to manage albums and photos
- Extremely easy to upload (single, multiple, via Win XP)
:|: Cons
- Not as integrated in Drupal yet (e.g. don’t know how to put image into a regular entry)
- Themes can conflict (until new themes come out that are better integrated)
That’s all for now. I’ll keep this entry updated as I learn more.

I’ve tried the auto-resize on the upload and it doesn’t work, but I’m not sure any other program does this so it’s not really such a big issue.

Today’s technology many things are possible! Yes, but certain things are not! You have guessed it correct! It’s LOVE the most precious thing on earth than anything the technology can do and the money can buy. I request every individual who interacts with any individual any where, not to play with emotions.
I have yet to try this photo module. According to the comments, I will probably be using it very soon.
