What's wrong with using the Image.Module to handle the image input?

You can then use the image nodes' thumbnail, preview and full view properties to handle all image viewing. It would also allow you to click on the image to zoom in.

Having image.module handle the whole image management would really make things easier on you.

umm no it wouldn't. If you think it would, write your own image field using image.module. Nothing is stopping you.

I do not plan on storing data about all my derivative images in a database. they are not source or original material. They're generated, not user provided. They aren't input. It just not right. :) While I appreciate image.module and use it myself on several sites, *I* want to do some things in a different way.
