What exactly is your work flow? What platform are you on? What tools  
have you tried and are having trouble with?

The defacto solution for Rails is to use Paperclip to handle the image  
upload and then ImageMagick to manipulate it.  
[http://wiki.github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip](http://wiki.github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip) has lots of good  
information.
