Thanks for a nice tutorial and demonstration of these modules.
I was advised to give this a shot by someone in the drupal-forums (http://drupal.org/node/273453), when I asked which image module I should be using. I've tried it out.
My goal: Users should be able to upload images (several per node), teaser view would have small image which links to node, full node would have medium image - medium image would link to original size image, which would also be carried within a page (and not just as image.jpg).
Also, I wanted the images to be watermarked at upload.
The Image module + the watermark module does all this EXCEPT allowing users to upload more than one image at a time. Also it looked to me as if the image module was creating far too many nodes (but I might have misunderstod that and it was the "gallery" extra that did this).
I currently have 680 image-posts, all carrying 3-4 images (at least) per post that are a custom content type. I just want to make it very very easy for users to upload their images to this content type and have the sizing done automatically for them. Also, I want all images displayed on "a page" and not (as I do now) linking to the original image.jpg file to see the original (big) version.
Seems this should be possible, but I'm lost.
