I have a site in Drupal 4.7 (blog.shostak.net) where the images just stopped working - the ones that are there are fine, but I can't add new ones, I just get tons of errors. On another site I fixed that by resetting to defaults, but I don't want to reset the image sizes to default there. I've left it alone for now because I planned to upgrade to D5 and change the theme anyway.
On another site (urbanorganic.jeangazis.com), which is a multisite install, I have images there but can't add new ones. The files are there, but the images don't appear. If I use image import, it duplicates the preview and thumbnails. Something is getting messed up in the path.
I also have a site where I really need it to be easy for users to upload photos, and it doesn't look like imagefield and imagecache are the answer to that, either. I might try one of the gallery mods. I've only used the gallery that comes with image.
So it seems like the module has a reputation for being buggy, and is going wrong for me in more than one way, so I'm interested in alternatives. I'd prefer that they don't require custome theming, though, because I haven't gotten into that yet.

Hello helpful people!
I have been using the image and image assist modules for images on my sites. I've had some problems with them, and when I looked at the issues list for image I was not thrilled, there are a lot of them. It seems like everyone in the local user group (NYC) uses CCK imagefield with imagecache instead for their sites. I'm thinking I should just go ahead and switch. What's the best way to go about it? Will uninstalling the modules cause further problems? Will I have to recreate all the image content?
I have simply images in posts, and some image galleries.
Very recently I've installed gallery for gallery2 and Image. The former because gallery gives a lot of options for uploading images, because it support video and embedded content from other sites (flickr, youtube).
I used Image on my personal site because I need a very clean method to build up simple galleries.
I find that tweaking the layout of Image is much easier than tweaking gallery + gallery2.
What do you think the shortcomings of Image are?
