Apparently I have 3 solutions (with typical Drupal results):

• use CCK+imagecache+imagefield. But then I can't use acidfree anymore

(and I must migrate all photos and albums, img_assist and other stuff won't work anymore - out of question).

• use image_exact. This looks like the perfect solution, except that

it doesn't work (it can't resize existing images, doesn't work with mass import and fails as soon as you change your image settings)

• wait for mmedia (Media Manager) to become ready, because from the

description it's everything I need.

I don't doubt there are other solutions (it's Drupal), including rolling my own code, but I didn't find anything easy to deploy, and working. Yet.

Alternatively, use image.module, which offers the option to scale or scale and crop the image to a desired resolution.
